Prospective Translational Study Investigating Molecular Predictors of Resistance and Response to Regorafenib Monotherapy (PROSPECT-R)

April 30, 2021 updated by: Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust

A Prospective Translational Study Investigating Molecular Predictors of Resistance and Response to Regorafenib Monotherapy in RAS Mutant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is a single centre prospective biological translational research study involving the collection of tumour tissue, blood samples and clinical data from patients being treated with regorafenib for metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Patients will be eligible for the study if they have a histological diagnosis of CRC, are refractory to standard available therapies with palliative intent for mCRC, have received prior treatment with at least one anti-VEGF antibody and chemotherapy drugs including fluorouracil (5FU) or capecitabine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan, and patients have RAS mutant tumours.

Detailed Description

This is an exploratory translational research study to obtain research biopsies of RAS mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) tumour tissue prior to commencement of regorafenib multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (MKI) treatment targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), tumour microenvironment and oncogenic driver alterations, and again at development of resistance. Candidate markers of resistance will be identified in tissue biopsies through genetic and other molecular analysis and parallel collection of serial blood specimens will facilitate the identification of resistance markers and the tracking of resistance evolution in circulating nucleic acids. Early dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) along with diffusion weighted (DW)-MRI imaging at the beginning, and on day 15+/-7 post treatment will be performed. Additionally, dual contrast enhanced CT (DECT) will be performed according to routine clinical evaluation time points before drug administration and at 8 weeks after drug administration. Disease will be monitored with serial CT scans of the chest abdomen and pelvis (CT-CAP) every eight weeks, until progression. The aim of the study is to identify novel predictive biomarkers of resistance and response to this targeted therapy in mCRC previously treated with oxaliplatin, fluoropyrimidines and irinotecan, using genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomics, proteomic and live tissue culture methods. These molecular analyses will be performed on metastatic tumour tissue samples taken firstly before commencement of regorafenib, and secondly on progression of disease, and thirdly from archival primary or metastatic tumour tissue. There is an additional biopsy at 8 weeks in patients with response or stable disease, as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.1 criteria.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
disease control rate (DCR), measured in months
Time Frame: 12 months
DCR will be defined as complete response (CR)/partial response (PR)/ stable disease (SD) using RECIST v1.1. Chi2 or Fisher's exact tests will be employed to explore whether there is an association between low or high mutations and DCR. Logistic regression will be employed to produce odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
progression free survival (PFS), measured in months
Time Frame: 12 months
PFS will be measured from start of treatment to date of progression or death from any cause.Logistic regression will be employed to produce odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The PFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and survival curves will be generated for each group. The log-rank test will be used to compare the survival curves and a Cox proportional hazards model will be fitted to obtain hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. The proportional hazards assumption will be tested with the use of Schoenfeld residuals
12 months
overall survival (OS), measured in months
Time Frame: 12 months
OS will be defined as time from start of treatment to death of any cause. Logistic regression will be employed to produce odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The OS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and survival curves will be generated for each group. The log-rank test will be used to compare the survival curves and a Cox proportional hazards model will be fitted to obtain hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. The proportional hazards assumption will be tested with the use of Schoenfeld residuals
12 months
Median values of volume transfer constant (Ktrans) and enhancing fraction (EF) and their product KEF (product of summarised median values of Ktrans x EF/100) will be compared at baseline and on day 15
Time Frame: 15 days
Dynamic contrast enhance magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) will be performed pre-treatment and at day 15. KEF changes of more than 70% between the two time points will be considered significant and patients will be thus stratified in two groups, i.e. A) drop in KEF of >70% and B) less than 70% drop in KEF.
