REGOMA: Regorafenib in Relapsed Glioblastoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the role of Regorafenib in prolonging the overall survival of glioblastoma multiforme patients who progressed after surgery and Stupp regimen with or without bevacizumab.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the overall survival (OS) in the intention to treat (ITT) population. Secondary aims are to evaluate the progression free survival (PFS), safety, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) in the ITT population, and the evaluation of quality of life (QoL). Additional exploratory objectives include the analysis of antiangiogenic and metabolic biomarkers in tissue at first and second surgery (if performed) by the evaluation of certain metabolic features of tumors that could be involved in tumor responses to antiangiogenic drugs.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall survival [From the date of randomization to 18 months or to the date of death from any cause]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Progression free survival [From the date of randomization to 18 months or to the date of disease progression or to the date of death, whichever occurs first]
- Objective response rate [Approximately 36 months]
As percentage of patients achieving a complete response plus partial response
- Disease control rate [Approximately 36 months]
As percentage of patients achieving a complete response plus partial response plus stable disease
- Toxicity (Graded according to the NCI-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) [Approximately every 4 weeks through the treatment period up to 30 days after the end of treatment]
Graded according to the NCI-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4
Other Outcome Measures
- Quality of life EORTC [From the date of randomization, approximately every 3 months until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, or study withdrawal, whichever came first, assessed up to 30 months.]
