Regorafenib in patients with refractory metastatic pancreatic cancer: a Phase II study (RESOUND).

Abstract

Aim: Regorafenib may be active in different cancer types. This Phase II trial included patients with various refractory cancer types treated with regorafenib. Here, we report the results of the pancreatic adenocarcinoma cohort. Methods: The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 8 weeks; further investigation of regorafenib would be warranted with a PFS rate ≥50%. Results:\xa0A total of\xa020 patients were enrolled. The best response was stable disease in four patients (20%). The 8-week PFS rate was 25% with a median PFS of 1.7 months (95% CI: 1.5-2.0). A total of 13\xa0patients (65%) experienced grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events. Conclusion: The study did not meet its primary end point. Further investigation of regorafenib monotherapy in this setting is not recommended. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT02307500.
