Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The principal objective is to investigate Regorafenib efficacy by prospectively demonstrating an improvement of median Progression-free survival (PFS) when treating locally advanced unresectable or metastatic patients suffering from an intra-hepatic or hilum (mass-forming) cholangiocarcinoma or metastatic extra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma with Regorafenib combined with BSC as compared to placebo with BSC, and in progression after GEM-CDDP (or GEM-OX), or gemcitabine alone followed or preceded by platinum (CDDP or oxaliplatin)-based chemotherapy. Hypothesis is a 50% improvement in median PFS (from 6 weeks to 12 weeks in Regorafenib group). ;Secondary Objective: Biomarker analysis for mechanisms of resistance to Regorafenib, angiogenesis pathway inhibition during treatment, evaluation of microvascular density of the tumor and correlation with perfusion MRI and its potential modification during treatment and stromagenesis modulation during treatment;Primary end point(s): Median PFS: improvement from 6 weeks to 12 weeks in Regorafenib+BSC group;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After at least 1 cycle of therapy. Every six weeks (three times), then every eight weeks, the patient condition will be evaluated by a complete blood sampling(including measurement of tumor factors) and a thoraco-abdominal scan, and this up to progression disease.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Evaluation of response rate: evaluation of tumor response will be done based on radiological modified RECIST criteria evaluation (thoraco-abdominal CT scan) - Correlation between radiological response (using modified RECIST criteria) and metabolic response using PET imaging (SUV max modifications). This will only be done if SUV max of the tumor inside the liver at pre-treatment visit is = 175% of the SUV max of the normal liver - Correlation between radiologic response rate (modified RECIST criteria) and “Dynamic tumor response rate”. Dynamic response rate is defined by a 20% modification of tumoral perfusion status determined by quantitative DCE-MRI after 14 days of treatment (D1 compared to D15 valuess) - Correlation between dynamic tumor response rate and metabolic response rate (Pet CT) when first Pet CT is positive (as defined behind) - Evaluation of OS at one year - Translational analysis: Biomarker analysis for: mechanisms of resistance to Regorafenib: pAKT, pERK (on tumor sample if enough tissue); angiogenesis pathway inhibition during treatment: serum levels of CXCL 12, VEGF-C, HGF, PDGF-béta, iNO, Ang2, CXCR4; evaluation of microvascular density of the tumor (CD31 on tumor sample if enough tissue) and correlation with perfusion MRI, and its potential modification during treatment; stromagenesis modulation during treatment: evaluation of FGFR and PDGFR serum levels ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - For response rate, a thoraco-abdominal scan will be done every six weeks (three times), then every eight weeks until disease progression - For correlation between radiological response and metabolic response, a PET-scan will be done at pretreatment visit and a second one will be realized in Day 15 of first cycle only if the baseline (pre treatment) Pet CT was “positive”. - For correlation between radiologic response rate and “Dynamic tumor response rate”, a DCE-MRI will be done at Day 1 and Day 15 of first cycle - For ove
