Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the area under the curve (AUC) of regorafenib compared to regorafenib concomitantly used with esomeprazole and to regorafenib used with esomeprazole 3 hours prior in patients with mCRC or GIST.;Secondary Objective: 1. Other pharmacokinetic outcomes (i.e. clearance, maximum concentration (Cmax) and time to Cmax (tmax)). 2. To evaluate the incidence and severity of side-effects of treatment with regorafenib in absence and presence of esomeprazole;Primary end point(s): To evaluate the area under the curve (AUC) of regorafenib compared to regorafenib concomitantly used with esomeprazole and to regorafenib used with esomeprazole 3 hours prior in patients with mCRC or GIST.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of study
