ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating whether a combination of two medications, Regorafenib and Irinotecan, is more effective than using Regorafenib alone in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Metastatic means the cancer has spread beyond the original site in the colon or rectum. The study is for patients who have already tried all other standard treatments for their cancer, except for Regorafenib and a medication called TAS-102. Eligible participants must be adults aged 18 or older, have a confirmed diagnosis of colorectal cancer, and have experienced cancer progression after their last treatment.

Patients who join the trial can expect to receive either the combination treatment or Regorafenib alone, and they will be closely monitored throughout the study. To participate, individuals must meet specific health criteria, including having a good performance status and adequate blood and organ function. It's important for potential participants to discuss any prior treatments and health conditions with their doctor to ensure they qualify for the study. Additionally, both men and women of childbearing age need to agree to use effective birth control during the study and for a period after treatment. This trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants at this time.

• • Patients with A/A cycline D1 (CCND1) genotype of rs603965 CCND1
• • Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements conducted within 7 days of starting study treatment: Amylase and lipase ≤1.5 x Upper Limit Normal (ULN),Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN,Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver involvement of their cancer), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5.0 x ULN for patients with liver involvement for their cancer and/or have bone metastases), Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3; Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9 g/dL; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/ mm3.

Patients being treated with anticoagulant, e.g., heparin, will be allowed to participate provided no prior evidence of an underlying abnormality in these parameters exists. Close monitoring of at least weekly evaluations will be performed until INR and PTT are stable based on a pre-dose measurement as defined by the local standard of care

The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the patient on how to achieve an adequate birth control. Adequate contraception is defined in the study as any medically recommended method (or combination of methods) as per standard of care.
