A Study Using Regorafenib as Second or Third Line Therapy in Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Cancer
A Phase II Study Using Regorafenib as Second or Third Line Therapy in Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Cancer
This research study is studying a targeted therapy as a possible treatment for thyroid cancer. A targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific types of cancer cells with less harm to normal cells.
- The name of the study intervention involved in this study is regorafenib.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
This is a phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved regorafenib as a treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer and locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Regorafenib has not been approved for treatment against thyroid cancer.
Regorafenib is an oral anti-tumor agent that blocks activity of a specific kind of protein involved in normal cellular functions and in pathologic processes such as tumor formation and maintenance.

Therapeutic anticoagulation with Vitamin-K antagonists (e.g., warfarin) or with heparins and heparinoids.
--- However, prophylactic anticoagulation as described below is allowed:
- Low dose warfarin (1 mg orally, once daily) with PT-INR ≤ 1.5 x ULN is permitted. Infrequent bleeding or elevations in PT-INR have been reported in some subjects taking warfarin while on regorafenib therapy. Therefore, subjects taking concomitant warfarin should be monitored regularly for changes in PT, PT-INR or clinical bleeding episodes.
- Low dose aspirin (≤ 100 mg daily).
- Prophylactic doses of heparin.
- Use of any herbal remedy (e.g. St. John's Wort [Hypericum perforatum])

10-month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate [MTC Cohort]
Time Frame: Disease was evaluated through imaging scan on baseline, Cycle 1 Day 1, end of treatment and during follow-up. Relevant to this endpoint is 10 Months
|
10-month PFS Rate is the proportion of participants ramaing alive and progression free at 10 months.
Progression-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration of time from study entry to documented disease progression (PD) or death.
Per RECIST 1.1 criteria: progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.
