Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND Most patients with glioblastoma (GBM) receive bevacizumab as part of their treatment. There is no good therapeutic option after bevacizumab failure. Regorafenib has potent preclinical antitumor activity and long-lasting anti-angiogenic activity as measured by dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) – magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Regorafenib is a small molecule inhibitor of multiple membrane-bound and intracellular kinases involved in normal cellular functions and in pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, tumor angiogenesis, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment. METHODS Patients with progression of GBM after treatment with Bevacizumab will be eligible for the study. Oral administration of Regorafenib at 160 mg once daily will be administered for 3 weeks on /1 week off. Weekly dose escalation of regorafenib from 80 mg to 160 mg/day will be employed as per the Redos strategy. Patients start the treatment 80 mg/day in week 1, with weekly dose escalation to 120 mg in week 2, then 160 mg week in 3 if no significant drug-related toxicities are observed. They will be continued on treatment with Regorafenib 160 md /day till tumor progression or toxicity. They will get MRI brain every 4 weeks during the study. RESULTS Primary endpoint is median Overall survival. Secondary endpoints include progression free survival at 6 months and the median time to progression and objective response rate using the modified RANO criteria. The overall safety and tolerability of regorafenib by CTCAE version 5.0. will also be reported. CONCLUSION This is an ongoing clinical trial.
