Study Summary

Research has found that patients with microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI-H) type colorectal cancer can achieve long-term survival through immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment, but currently accounting for about 95% of MSS type mCRC, the benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors are very limited. REGONIVO is a Phase Ib study to explore the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in combination with nivolumab in the treatment of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer with MSS. The study enrolled 50 patients with advanced disease, including 25 cases of gastric cancer, 25 cases of colorectal cancer, except for one case of colorectal cancer with MSI-H, and others were MSS type. The results of the study showed that patients with colorectal cancer had an objective response rate (ORR) of 36%.The ORR of liver matestasis vs. lung matestasis is 8.7% vs. 50%.

In this study, pMMR /MSS type patients with refractory advanced colorectal cancer without liver metastasis were selected as the subjects. Regorafenib, Toripalimab and Celecoxib were used to evaluate the maximum tolerable dose, objective response rate (ORR), total survival time (OS), progression free survival time (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), response duration (DoR) and safety of the subjects.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. With subject's consent and signed informed consent form, willing and capable offollowing planned visits, research treatments, laboratory tests, and other trialprocedures
  2. Subjects diagnosed with colon or rectal adenocarcinoma by pathology or cytology haveevidence of locally advanced lesions or metastases that cannot be surgically removed,without liver metastasis, and all other histological types are excluded.

  8. Female subjects of childbearing age must carry out a serum Pregnancy test within 3days before starting the study medication, and the result is negative, and are willingto use a medically approved effective contraceptive measure (such as Intrauterinedevice, contraceptives or condoms) during the study period and within 3 months afterthe last administration of the study medication.For male subjects whose partners arewomen of childbearing age, they should undergo surgical sterilization or agree to useeffective methods of contraception during the study period and within 3 months afterthe last study administration.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previous or concurrent existence of other active malignant tumors (except malignanttumors that have received cured therapy and have not developed for more than 5 yearsor Carcinoma in situ that can be cured through adequate treatment);
  2. At present, there are duodenal ulcer, Ulcerative colitis, Bowel obstruction and otherdigestive tract diseases or other conditions that may cause gastrointestinal bleedingor perforation as determined by researchers.
  3. Thrombosis or embolism events occurred within 6 months before the study, such ascerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), Pulmonary embolism,Deep vein thrombosis.
  4. Within the 6 months prior to enrollment in the study, the following conditionsoccurred: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, NYHA grade 2 or above cardiacinsufficiency, clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias, andsymptomatic congestive heart failure.
  5. Systemic use of antibiotics for ≥ 7 days within 4 weeks prior to enrollment in thestudy, or unexplained fever >38.5°C occurring during the screening period/before thefirst administration (according to the investigator's judgment, fever caused by tumorcan be enrolled).
  6. Major operations such as laparotomy, thoracotomy, organ removal through Laparoscopy orsevere trauma were performed within 4 weeks before the study (Surgical incision shouldbe completely healed before randomization);
  7. Within 7 days prior to enrollment in the study, there were uncontrollable pleuraleffusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion after effective treatment.
  8. Immunosuppressive drugs were used within 7 days before the enrollment study, excludingnasal and inhaled Corticosteroid or systemic Sex hormone hormones with physiologicaldose (i.e. no more than 10mg /d prednisone or other Corticosteroid with physiologicaldose of equivalent drugs).
  9. The general term standard for adverse events (NCICTCAE Version 5.0) caused by anyprevious treatment that has not yet subsided has toxicity of grade 2 or above (exceptanemia, hair loss, skin pigmentation and peripheral neurotoxicity related toOxaliplatin).
  10. There are any active, known or suspected autoimmune diseases. Subjects who were in astable state at the time of enrollment and did not need systemic immunosuppressiontreatment, such as type I diabetes, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacementtreatment, and skin diseases that did not need systemic treatment (such as Vitiligo,psoriasis, and alopecia) are allowed.
  11. There are Interstitial lung disease, non infectious pneumonia or uncontrollablesystemic diseases (such as diabetes, hypertension, Pulmonary fibrosis and acutepneumonia).
  12. HIV (HIV) infection or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), untreatedactive hepatitis (hepatitis B, defined as HBV-DNA ≥ 500 IU/ml; hepatitis C, defined asHCV-RNA higher than the detection limit of the analytical method) or co infection ofhepatitis B and C.

Study Description

At present, the microsatellite stabilized (MSS) type of advanced refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has a poor median overall survival time of only about 7 months, and there is a significant unmet clinical demand for the efficacy of posterior treatment. Research has found that patients with microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI-H) type colorectal cancer can achieve long-term survival through immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment, but currently accounting for about 95% of MSS type mCRC, the benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors are very limited. REGONIVO is a Phase Ib study to explore the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in combination with nivolumab in the treatment of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer with MSS. The study enrolled 50 patients with advanced disease, including 25 cases of gastric cancer, 25 cases of colorectal cancer, except for one case of colorectal cancer with MSI-H, and others were MSS type. The results of the study showed that patients with colorectal cancer had an objective response rate (ORR) of 36%.The ORR of liver matestasis vs. lung matestasis is 8.7% vs. 50%.A phase Ib /Ⅱ clinical study REGOTORI enrolled 39 subjects, with a total ORR of 15.2%, and the ORR of non-liver metastasis subjects compared with liver metastasis subjects was 30% and 8.7% respectively. Based on the prospective small sample clinical trial results of other regifenib combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody drugs, the overall ORR is between 0% and 33.3%, the ORR for non-liver metastases is between 20% and 50%, and the ORR for liver metastases is between 0% and 15%.

In this study, pMMR /MSS type patients with refractory advanced colorectal cancer without liver metastasis were selected as the subjects. Regorafenib, Toripalimab and Celecoxib were used to evaluate the maximum tolerable dose, objective response rate (ORR), total survival time (OS), progression free survival time (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), response duration (DoR) and safety of the subjects.
