Purpose

A randomised phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 2:1 (regorafenib : placebo)

Detailed Description

      Purpose:

      The purpose of this Phase III study is to determine if regorafenib improves overall survival
      in patients with Advanced Gastro-Oesophageal Carcinoma.

      Who is it for:

      You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or above and have been
      diagnosed with advanced (metastatic or locally recurrent) Gastro-Oesophageal Carcinoma which
      has not responded to a minimum of 2 lines of prior anti-cancer therapy.

      Trial Details:

      Participants will be randomly (by chance) allocated to one of two groups: regorafenib or
      placebo in 2:1 ratio respectively and will not be aware of their group allocation.
      Regorafenib or matching placebo will be self-administered by participants orally once daily
      on days 1-21 of each 28 days cycle. Treatment will continue until disease progression or
      prohibitive toxicity. Participants will be followed up every 2-4 weeks in order to evaluate
      their progress on the study.

    Eligibility Criteria

            Inclusion Criteria
    
              1. Adults (18 years or over) with metastatic or locally recurrent gastro-oesophageal
                 cancer which:
    
                   1. has arisen in any primary gastro-oesophageal site (oesophago-gastric junction
                      (GOJ) or stomach); and
    
                   2. is of adenocarcinoma or undifferentiated carcinoma histology , and
    
                   3. is evaluable according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST
                      Version 1.1) by computed tomography (CT) scan performed within 21 days prior to
                      randomisation. A lesion in a previously irradiated area is eligible to be
                      considered as measurable disease as long as there is objective evidence of
                      progression of the lesion prior to study enrolment; and
    
                   4. has failed or been intolerant to a minimum of 2 lines of prior anti-cancer
                      therapy for recurrent/metastatic disease which must have included at least one
                      platinum agent and one fluoropyrimidine analogue.
    
                      Note: Neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy will be
                      considered as first line treatment where people have relapsed or progressed
                      within 6 months of completing treatment; Radiosensitising chemotherapy given
                      solely for this purpose concurrent with palliative radiation will not be
                      considered as a line of treatment. Ramucirumab monotherapy, or immunotherapy with
                      a checkpoint inhibitor, will be considered a line of treatment.
    
                   5. HER2-positive participants must have received trastuzumab.
    
              2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1.

              6. Adequate liver function (Serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN, and INR ≤ 1.5 x ULN, and
                 Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase
                 (ALP) ≤2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for participants with liver metastases)). Participants
                 being treated with an anti-coagulant, such as warfarin or heparin, will be allowed to
                 participate provided that no prior evidence of an underlying abnormality in these
                 parameters exists.
    
              7. Adequate cardiac function (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% or above

    Safety Issue:
