Phase II Study of Single Agent Regorafenib in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies regorafenib in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors that
have spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body.
Regorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for
cell growth.
Detailed Description
I. To assess progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced/metastatic in patients with
carcinoid or pancreatic islet cell tumors.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess overall survival and response rate in advanced/metastatic poor prognosis in
patients with carcinoid or pancreatic islet cell tumors.
II. To assess the toxicity of patients treated with regorafenib. III. To explore markers of
angiogenesis as they relate to outcome in carcinoid and pancreatic islet cell tumors.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive regorafenib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every
28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of study drug; post-menopausal women (defined as no menses for at least 1 year) and surgically sterilized women are not required to undergo a pregnancy test; the definition of adequate contraception will be based on the judgement of the investigator
- Subjects (men and women) of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception beginning at the signing of the ICF until at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug; the definition of adequate contraception will be based on the judgment of the principal investigator or a designated associate
- Subject must be able to swallow and retain oral medication

- Patients must have measurable disease
- Previous assignment to treatment during this study; subjects permanently withdrawn from study participation will not be allowed to re-enter study
- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure > 140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure > 90 mm Hg [NCI-CTCAE v4.0] on repeated measurement) despite optimal medical management
- Active or clinically significant cardiac disease including:
- Congestive heart failure
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) > class II
- Active coronary artery disease
- Cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy other than beta blockers or digoxin
- Unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest), new-onset angina within 3 months before randomization, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before randomization
- Evidence or history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
- Any hemorrhage or bleeding event >= NCI-CTCAE grade 3 within 4 weeks prior to start of study medication
- Subjects with thrombotic, embolic, venous, or arterial events, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attacks) deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 6 months of start of study treatment
- Subjects with any previously untreated or concurrent cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from carcinoid or pancreatic islet cancer except cervical cancer in-situ, treated basal cell carcinoma, or superficial bladder tumor; subjects surviving a cancer that was curatively treated and without evidence of disease for more than 3 years before randomization are allowed; all cancer treatments must be completed at least 3 years prior to study entry (i.e., signature date of the informed consent form)
- Patients with pheochromocytoma
- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or current chronic or active hepatitis B or C infection requiring treatment with antiviral therapy
- Ongoing infection > grade 2 NCI-CTCAE v4.0

- Renal failure requiring hemo-or peritoneal dialysis
- Dehydration grade >= 1 NCI-CTCAE v4.0
- Patients with seizure disorder requiring medication
- Persistent proteinuria >= grade 3 NCI-CTCAE v4.0 (> 3.5 g/24 hrs, measured by urine protein:creatinine ratio on a random urine sample)
