Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of regorafenib, an antiangiogenic drug, when combined with radioembolization using SIR-Spheres® microspheres in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) that has spread to the liver.

Read the detailed description

Recent targeted therapies and treatment strategies have shown promise in colorectal cancer; however, elimination of disease remains a challenge once spread to the liver. Radioembolization using SIR-Spheres® microspheres (SIR-Spheres) to treat liver-only or liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has been successful in this refractory setting. In this open-label study we will compare the safety of two treatment cohorts in which radioembolization will be administered using the device SIR-Spheres microspheres (90Y resin microspheres) in combination with regorafenib to patients with mCRC with liver metastases. The two treatment cohorts will be evaluated for safety, overall response (OR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

  13. Any of the following cardiac diseases currently or within the last 6 months:

    • Unstable angina pectoris

    • Valvular disease with significant compromise in cardiac function
  14. Inadequately controlled hypertension (i.e., systolic blood pressure [SBP] >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >100 mmHg) (patients with values above these levels must have their blood pressure (BP) controlled with medication prior to starting treatment).
  15. Serious active infection at the time of treatment, or another serious underlying medical condition that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment.
  16. Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
  17. Presence of other active cancers, or history of treatment for invasive cancer ≤5 years. Patients with Stage I cancer who have received definitive local treatment and are considered unlikely to recur are eligible. All patients with previously treated in situ carcinoma (i.e., non-invasive) are eligible, as are patients with history of non-melanoma skin cancer.
  18. Use of strong CYP34A inducers or inhibitors.
  19. The herbal medications St. John's wort, kava, ephedra (ma huang), gingko biloba, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), yohimbe, saw palmetto, and ginseng will not be allowed during study treatment. Patients should stop using these herbal medications 7 days prior to first dose of study drug.

Patients will take regorafenib 160 mg orally once daily on Days 1-21 of each 28-day treatment cycle. SIR-Spheres microspheres will then be administered to the patient by injection through a trans-femoral catheter into the hepatic artery. Treatment with regorafenib will be re-started 2-4 weeks after SIR-Spheres administration.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety

    A treatment-related adverse event or serious adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which was considered to have a relationship with the study drug (suspected to be possibly or probably related to the study drug per the Investigator's assessment). Adverse events and serious adverse events will be assessed according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) V4.03.

    Time frame: up to 15 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Patients With an Objective Response (CR or PR)

    Defined as the number of patients with objective evidence of complete or partial response (CR or PR) using RECIST v 1.1. A CR is the complete disappearance of all target lesions. A PR is a decrease in of 30% or more of the diameter(s) of all target lesions from the baseline sum of diameters.

    Time frame: At 6 and 12 weeks after SIR-Spheres, and every 8 weeks thereafter, up to 18 months

  2. Median Progression-Free Survival

    Defined as the time (in months) from date of randomization to the date of first observation of progression based on radiological assessment by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1, or date of death from any cause, in the absence of progressive disease (PD) or censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Progressive Disease is defined by RECIST v1.1 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest (nadir) sum while on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study), or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Time frame: At 6 and 12 weeks after SIR-Spheres, and every 8 weeks thereafter, up to 18 months.

  3. Median Overall Survival

    Defined as the time (in months) from date of randomization to date of death from any cause, or censored at the date last known alive.

    Time frame: up to 18 months
