Study on Regorafenib for Patients with Recurrent Grade 2 and 3 Meningioma After Surgery and Radiotherapy

2 1 1 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of brain tumor called meningioma, specifically grades 2 and 3, which are more aggressive forms of this tumor. The study is investigating the effects of a medication called Regorafenib, also known by its code name BAY73-4506. This medication is a type of drug known as a multi-kinase inhibitor, which works by blocking certain proteins that help cancer cells grow. The purpose of the study is to see if Regorafenib can help slow down the progression of the disease in patients whose tumors have returned after surgery and radiation therapy.

Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either Regorafenib or a placebo, which is a substance with no active medication. The study will take place over a period of time, during which participants will take the medication in the form of film-coated tablets. The maximum daily dose of Regorafenib is 160 milligrams, and the treatment period can last up to 18 months. Throughout the study, participants will have regular check-ups and tests, such as MRI scans, to monitor the size and growth of their tumors.

The main goal of the study is to determine if Regorafenib can extend the time patients live without their disease getting worse, known as progression-free survival. Additionally, the study will look at overall survival, which is the time from the start of the study until death from any cause, and the response of the tumor to the treatment. The study will also assess the quality of life of participants using specific questionnaires and record any side effects experienced during the treatment. The study is expected to continue until the end of 2026.

1 joining the study

Upon joining the study, the participant will be required to sign an informed consent form (ICF) to confirm understanding and voluntary participation.

Eligibility will be confirmed based on specific criteria, including a life expectancy of at least 6 months and the ability to take oral medication.

2 initial assessment

An initial assessment will be conducted to ensure all eligibility criteria are met, including adequate cardiac, liver, renal, and hematological function.

Baseline measurements will be taken, including a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to document any measurable lesions.

3 treatment phase

The treatment involves taking Stivarga (regorafenib) 40 mg film-coated tablets orally.

The dosage and frequency will be determined by the study protocol, and participants will be monitored for any side effects.

4 monitoring and follow-up

Participants will have regular follow-up visits to monitor the progression of the disease and any side effects from the medication.

Quality of life will be assessed using specific questionnaires designed for cancer patients.

5 end of study

The study is estimated to conclude by December 31, 2026.

Final assessments will be conducted to evaluate the overall survival and progression-free survival of participants.

  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patients who are participating in another clinical trial at the same time.
  • Patients who have had an allergic reaction to the study medication or similar drugs in the past.
  • Patients with a history of drug or alcohol abuse that could affect their ability to participate in the study.
  • Patients who have received certain medications or treatments that could interfere with the study results.

Investigated drugs:

Regorafenib is a medication being studied for its potential to help people with certain types of brain tumors called grade 2 and grade 3 meningiomas. These tumors have come back or continued to grow after surgery and radiotherapy. The study is looking at whether Regorafenib can help stop the tumors from growing for a longer period.

Meningioma – Meningioma is a type of tumor that forms on the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord just inside the skull. It is typically classified into grades based on its growth rate and potential to spread. Grade 2 meningiomas are atypical, meaning they grow more quickly than benign tumors and may recur after treatment. Grade 3 meningiomas are malignant, growing rapidly and more likely to invade nearby tissues. These tumors can cause symptoms by pressing on the brain or spinal cord, leading to headaches, vision problems, or seizures. The progression of meningiomas can vary, with some remaining stable for years while others may grow and cause increasing symptoms.
