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.
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.
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.
