REGOMAIN: A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multicenter, comparative phase II study of the efficacy of regorafenib as maintenance treatment in patients (pts) with high-grade bone sarcomas (HGBS) at diagnosis or relapse and without complete remission after standard treatment.

TPS11585 Background: Primary metastatic osteosarcoma (OS) patients are treated with a curative intent following the same principles of non-metastatic OS, while the treatment of recurrent OS is primarily surgical in the case of isolated lung metastases. When complete removal of all metastases cannot be achieved, the prognosis remains poor, with a median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) between 3 to 8 months, and therefore there is a clinical need to reduce the risk of progression after the initial treatment sequence. The REGOBONE study reported a significant PFS benefit of regorafenib (REG) compared to placebo (in osteosarcomas: median PFS: 16.4 versus 4.1 weeks) and a manageable safety profile in patients with histologically confirmed HGBS (i.e., osteosarcoma or other bone sarcomas with the exception of Ewing sarcomas, chondrosarcoma and chordoma). Methods: This multicenter trial is ongoing to study the efficacy and safety of maintenance REG in pts > = 16 years old with HGBS, without complete remission but with no progressive disease after standard treatment, either at diagnosis or at relapse. Sixty pts will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either oral REG at a daily dose of 120mg or its matching placebo, continuously for a maximum of 12 months. Randomization is stratified according to the setting of the disease: initial diagnosis versus relapse. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy (PFS) between the 2 arms. The expected 4-month PFS rates are 30% in the control arm and 60% in the REGO arm (HR = 0.42). Fifty-two events will provide 87% power to show significant improvement in PFS, using a 2-sided log-rank test at a 5% level. Secondary endpoints include Overall Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Time to Treatment Failure (TTF), Overall Survival (OS), Quality of Life (QoL), and safety profile. Radiological endpoints will be evaluated using the RECIST 1.1 with tumor assessments every 2 months (first 6 months) and then every 3 months. Translational objectives will identify predictive biomarkers for efficacy of REG as maintenance therapy. Pts of the control arm who experience disease progression may switch to receive open label REG. As of Feb 1 st , 2022, 3 patients have been randomized. 14 sites of the French Sarcoma Group will participate. An amendment is being implemented to lower the age limit (12 years old) and to expand tumor types to other HGBS (Ewing sarcomas, chondrosarcomas, Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcomas, Leiomyosarcomas and angiosarcomas). Clinical trial information: NCT04698785.
