A Phase I dose-escalation study of third-line regorafenib with trifluridine/tipiracil in metastatic colorectal cancer
Aim: To determine a recommended Phase II dose of the oral fluoropyrimidine trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) combined with the multi-kinase inhibitor regorafenib (REG) in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Materials & methods: A conventional 3 + 3 dose finding design was used. FTD/TPI was administered on days 1–5 and 8–12 of a 28-day cycle, REG on days 2–22. Two dose levels were used: FTD/TPI 25 mg/m2 b.i.d. + REG 120 mg/d, then escalated to FTD/TPI 35 mg/m2 b.i.d. + REG 120 mg/d. Results: In total, 12 patients were treated at two dose levels. Three dose-limiting toxicities were observed; all were grade 3 hypertension causally attributed to REG. Recommended Phase II dose …
Regorafenib with TAS-102 (REGOTAS) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients who progressed after at least two standard therapies: Efficacy and safety results of a multicenter phase I study (REMETY).
158 Background: The multi-kinase inhibitor regorafenib (REGO) and oral fluoropyrimidine TAS-102 (TAS) show efficacies as single agents in treatment of refractory metastatic CRC patients (pts). We conducted a conventional 3+3 dose finding to determine a recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of its combination REGOTAS and efficacy in 3-4.-line. Methods: Eligible patients with ECOG 0-1, measurable mCRC, not amenable to surgery had at least 3rd-line treatments. Prior fluoropyrimidine-based and anti-VEGF (R) combinations were mandatory, and anti-EGFR for RAS WT tumors. TAS was given on days 1-5 and 8-12 (28-days cycle); REGO on days 2-22 (dose levels see table below). The following major AE categori…
