Regorafenib in Combination With Metronomic Chemotherapies, and Low-dose Aspirin in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (REPROGRAM-01)

Regorafenib in Combination With Metronomic Cyclophosphamide, Capecitabine, and Low-dose Aspirin in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Carcinoma An Open-label Phase II

The investigators propose a phase II clinical trial with the objective to investigate the potential clinical interest to associate regorafenib with a metronomic chemotherapy combining capecitabine, cyclophosphamide and low-dose aspirin, for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The main objective of the study will be to achieve 15% of objective response rate in patients treated with multimodal metronomic chemotherapy and regorafenib.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
objective response rate	The objective response rate (ORR) will be defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria as the best disease response observed during the treatment period (assessed to 4 months). ORR rate is defined as the proportion of patients whose tumor regresses or does not progress under treatment.	From date of inclusion until end of treatment for the patient, assessed to 4 months
