Brief Summary
This study is a randomized, double-blind, post-chemotherapy, adjuvant phase III clinical trial. The primary aim of this study is to determine the value of regorafenib in improving disease-free survival (DFS). Patients with Stage III (IIIB or IIIC) colon cancer as defined by the 7th Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual are randomized 1:1 to placebo or the experimental agent regorafenib following completion of at least four months of standard adjuvant therapy (e.g., 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) , capecitabine, oxaliplatin (CapeOx), and other).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Disease-free survival (DFS) - time from randomization until first colon cancer recurrence, second primary colon cancer, or death due to any cause.
To determine whether treatment with regorafenib following adjuvant therapy improves disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with Stage IIIB or IIIC colon cancer
Beginning at day 1 of cycle 3 (each cycle = 28 days) and every 6 months until study closure about 10 years
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Overall Survival (OS) - time from randomization until death from any cause.
Day 1 of every cycle of chemotherapy then 30 days post study therapy, then every 6 months (years 3-5) then yearly (years 6 & 7)
Toxicity - frequency and severity of adverse events categorized using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0)
Every study visit through 30 days following study therapy
Compliance - Time to discontinuation of study therapy.
Every study visit through discontinuation of study therapy, assessed for up to 24 months
Correlative Science - Biomarker evaluations
Before randomization, prior to beginning Cycle 6, every 6 months through year 5, and at the end of study therapy (maximum of 2 years).
Correlative Science - Pharmacokinetics - Plasma regorafenib concentrations
Day 15 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of study therapy.
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Group 1: Regorafenib
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive regorafenib orally once daily for 21 days of a 28 day cycle for a total of 26 cycles.
Group 2: Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORPatients receive placebo orally once daily for 21 days of a 28 day cycle for a total of 26 cycles.
Interventions
3 tablets once a day by mouth for 21 consecutive days of 28 day cycle for 26 cycles
3 tablets once a day by mouth for 21 consecutive days of 28 day cycle for 26 cycles
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status must be 0-1
- There must be histologic confirmation of high risk, adenocarcinoma of the colon defined as AJCC 7th Edition Stage IIIB or IIIC.
- The patient must have had an en bloc complete gross resection of tumor (curative resection) by open laparotomy or laparoscopically-assisted colectomy. The distal extent of the tumor must have been greater than or equal to 12 cm from the anal verge. (Patients who have had a two-stage surgical procedure to first provide a decompression colostomy and then in a later procedure to have a surgical resection are eligible.)
- Imaging (positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan, CT scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) of chest, abdomen, and pelvis must be performed within 90 days prior to randomization and must demonstrate no evidence of metastatic disease. If findings noted in imaging study reports are equivocal, the determination of whether or not the findings represent metastatic disease will be at the investigator's discretion.
- The patient must be able to swallow oral medication.
- The patient must have completed at least 4 months of adjuvant chemotherapy (i.e., FOLFOX, CapeOx, or other, such as 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FLOX), 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5FU/LV), capecitabine).
- The interval between completion of standard adjuvant chemotherapy and randomization must be less than or equal to 60 days.
- Blood counts performed within 28 days prior to randomization must meet the following criteria:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) must be greater than or equal to 1500/mm3;
- platelet count must be greater than or equal to 100,000/mm3; and
- hemoglobin must be greater than or equal to 9 g/dL.
- The following criteria for evidence of adequate hepatic function performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization must be met:
- total bilirubin must be less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); and
- alkaline phosphatase must be less than or equal to 2 x ULN; and
- Asparate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) must be less than or equal to 2 x ULN for the lab. (Note: If AST and/or ALT greater than ULN, serologic testing for Hepatitis B and C must be performed and results must be negative.)
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Isolated, distant, or non-contiguous intra-abdominal metastases, even if resected.
- Colon cancer other than adenocarcinoma (e.g., sarcoma, lymphoma, carcinoid).
- Prior history of invasive adenocarcinoma of colon or rectum.
- Patients with active autoimmune disease. (Patients with endocrine autoimmune diseases requiring replacement therapy alone are allowed.)
- Gastroduodenal ulcer(s) determined by endoscopy to be active.
- Any malabsorption condition.
- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or chronic or active hepatitis B or hepatitis C requiring treatment with antiviral therapy.
- Any concomitant systemic therapy or radiation therapy initiated for this malignancy.
- Active infection, or chronic infection requiring chronic suppressive antibiotics.
- Persistent CTCAE v4.0 greater than or equal to grade 2 diarrhea regardless of etiology.
- Know history of allografts (including corneal transplant).
- Chronic daily treatment with corticosteroids with a dose of greater than or equal to 10 mg/day methylprednisolone equivalent (excluding inhaled steroids), or any other immunosuppressive drugs.
- Any significant bleeding (greater than or equal to grade 3, hemorrhage) that is not related to the primary colon tumor within 6 months before randomization.
- Any of the following cardiac conditions:
- documented New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure;
- +21 more criteria
