Study Summary

This trial is testing how well regorafenib and anti-EGFR therapy (cetuximab or panitumumab) works for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced colorectal cancer that can't be removed by surgery, has spread, and hasn't responded to certain treatments. Participants must have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, adequate organ function, no severe concurrent diseases or recent significant cardiovascular events. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests regorafenib in combination with anti-EGFR therapy (cetuximab or panitumumab) versus the reverse order for metastatic colorectal cancer treatment. It aims to see which sequence works better for controlling cancer growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include fatigue, diarrhea, hand-foot skin reactions from regorafenib; skin rash and allergic reactions from cetuximab/panitumumab; and typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea and low blood counts.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B (cetuximab, panitumumab, irinotecan)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive cetuximab or panitumumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Patients may also receive irinotecan IV on days 1 and 15 as determined by the study doctor. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If received as initial treatment, patients who experience disease progression may switch over to the other treatment regimen, per treating physician discretion.
Group II: Arm A (regorafenib)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients receive regorafenib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If received as initial treatment, patients who experience disease progression may switch over to the other treatment regimen, per treating physician discretion.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has Regorafenib been cleared by the FDA?

"Regorafenib's safety was given a score of 2 by our Power team. This is due to the fact that, while Phase 2 trials give some indication of a medication's safety, they provide no clinical data supporting efficacy."

Answered by AI

How many total volunteers are being sought for this research project?

"One hundred and twenty-four eligible individuals are required for this clinical trial. Patients can choose to participate at Siouxland Regional Cancer Center in Sioux City, Iowa or University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska."

Answered by AI

How is Regorafenib most often employed?

"Regorafenib is an effective therapy for patients with colorectal carcinoma, ovarian cancer, and sarcoma."

Answered by AI

Are there any other publications which mention Regorafenib?

"The drug Regorafenib was first studied in the year 2000 at Wellington Hospital. However, as of right now, there have been 966 completed clinical trials. In addition, 455 live studies are being conducted with many taking place in Sioux City, Iowa."
