About this study

Official title: Study of Regorafenib in Combination With Oral Methotrexate for KRAS Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This phase II trial studies how well regorafenib works together with methotrexate in treating participants with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with tumors that harbor a KRAS mutation. Regorafenib is a targeted therapy that works on different cancer pathways to stop the growth of tumor cells and stop them from spreading. Methotrexate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving regorafenib and methotrexate together may work in treating participants with KRAS mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the progression free survival (PFS) of the combination of regorafenib and methotrexate for metastatic KRAS mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the objective response rate (ORR) of the combination of regorafenib and methotrexate for metastatic KRAS mutated NSCLC patients who have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy.

II. To determine the disease control rate (DCR) at 8 weeks of the combination of regorafenib and methotrexate for metastatic KRAS mutated NSCLC patients who have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy.

III. To determine the safety of the combination of regorafenib and methotrexate in metastatic KRAS mutated NSCLC patients who have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy, assessed as the number of subjects that experience a treatment-emergent adverse event.

IV. To determine the safety of the combination of regorafenib and methotrexate in metastatic KRAS-mutated NSCLC patients who have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy, assessed as the number (percent) of participants experiencing any dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

  1. To determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of methotrexate when combined with regorafenib (i.e., trough and maximum serum concentration [Cmax]).

OUTLINE:

Participants receive regorafenib orally (PO) once daily (QD) and methotrexate PO twice weekly with 2-3 days apart on a 3 week on / 1 week off schedule. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, participants will come in for an end of study treatment visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival (PFS), measured from time of first study treatment until objective tumor progression as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria or death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier. PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method along with 95% confidence interval.

    RECIST v1.1 criteria are:

    • Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions
    • Partial Response (PR) = ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions
    • Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR
    • Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and/or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s)
    • Stable disease (SD) = Small changes that do not meet any of the above criteria

    Measured: From first study treatment assessed up to 15 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate (ORR; as determined by RECIST v1.1) will be assessed as the proportion (percent) of participants with either complete response (CR; disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR; ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions), with exact 95% confidence intervals based on a binomial distribution.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Disease control rate (DCR) will be assessed as the proportion of complete responses (CR) + partial responses (PR) + stable disease (SD) after 8 weeks of treatment (+/- 1 week), as determined by using RECIST v1.1

    Measured: At 8 weeks

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Participants who experienced any treatment emergent adverse event and any ≥ grade 3 adverse event is reported.

    Measured: Up to 38 months

  4. Trough Serum Concentration of Methotrexate

    Pharmacokinetics (PK) of methotrexate when co-administered with regorafenib, as indicated by the trough serum concentration, was accessed by a fluorescent polarization immunoassay, and is reported as the mean with standard deviation. Participants treated with at least 1 dose of regorafenib and methotrexate and with at least one evaluable baseline pharmacokinetic sample and one follow up trough pharmacokinetic sample treated were included.

    Measured: Cycle 1, Days 1, 8, 15, and 22

  5. Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Methotrexate

    Pharmacokinetics (PK) of methotrexate when co-administered with regorafenib, as indicated by the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of methotrexate, was assessed by a fluorescent polarization immunoassay, and is reported as the mean with standard deviation. Participants treated with at least 1 dose of regorafenib and methotrexate and with at least one evaluable Cmax pharmacokinetic sample were included in the assessment.

    Measured: Cycle 1, Days 1, 8, and 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Methotrexate, Pharmacokinetic Study and Regorafenib in people with KRAS Gene Mutation and Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Brain, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: From first study treatment assessed up to 15 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2023.
