Gene Therapy Clinical Trials

Regorafenib and Methotrexate in Treating Participants With Recurrent or Metastatic KRAS Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase II trial studies how well regorafenib works together with methotrexate in treating participants with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with tumors that harbor a KRAS mutation. Regorafenib is a targeted therapy that works on different cancer pathways to stop the growth of tumor cells and stop them from spreading. Methotrexate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving regorafenib and methotrexate together may work in treating participants with KRAS mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

   OR previous receipt of adjuvant systemic therapy within 6 months of enrollment; there
   is no limit on number of prior therapies allowed

   - Prior systemic therapy must be completed within 2 weeks of study treatment, with
   either improvement of clinically significant treatment-related toxicities to grade 0-1
   OR stabilized to a new baseline

   - Must be able to swallow and retain oral medication

   - Women patients of childbearing potential and men patients with women partners of
   childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception or agree to abstain
   from heterosexual activity beginning at the time of signing informed consent until at
   least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment; post-menopausal women (defined
   as no menses for at least 1 year) and surgically sterilized women are not considered
   childbearing

Exclusion Criteria:

   - Previously treated with regorafenib

   - Known allergy to regorafenib or methotrexate

   - Currently receiving another systemic standard or investigational anti-cancer therapy;
   prior investigational therapy must be completed within 4 half-lives (if known) or 2
   weeks, whichever is longer; the maximal washout of investigational therapy will not
   exceed 4 weeks prior to study treatment; bone medications such as bisphosphonates and
   receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β (RANK) ligand inhibitors permitted

   - Leptomeningeal disease as documented by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology

   - Clinically significant cardiovascular related disease including:

      - Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure > 140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure >
      90 mmHg on repeated measurements, i.e., 3 or more separate days within one week)
      despite optimal medical management

      - Congestive heart failure - New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or greater

      - Active coronary artery disease (i.e., unstable or new onset angina within 3
      months of study treatment; myocardial infarction within 6 months of study
      treatment)

      - Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias other than atrial flutter/fibrillation

      - Stroke, including transient ischemic attacks, within 6 months of study treatment

      - Other clinically significant arterial events, except for controlled asymptomatic
      pulmonary embolism, within 6 months of study treatment

   - Clinically significant hemorrhage or bleeding event within 1 month of study treatment

   - Uncontrolled symptomatic pleural effusion or ascites

   - Known active additional malignancy that is undergoing or expected to undergo systemic
   treatment during duration of study participation

   - Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known current active
   hepatitis B (i.e., hepatitis [Hep] B deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] positive in prior 3
   months) or hepatitis C infection (i.e., Hep C ribonucleic acid [RNA] positive in prior
   3 months)

   - Major surgical procedure (e.g., involving the opening of a major body cavity) within 4
   weeks of study treatment; this does not apply to low risk procedures (i.e.,
   thoracentesis; paracentesis; chest tube / PleurX catheter placement; line placement;
   needle biopsy of tumor; and bronchoscopy)

   - Presence of a clinically significant non-healing wound, non-healing ulcer, or bone
   fracture

   - Concomitant therapy required at time of first dose of study treatment, including:

      inhibitors, and probenecid

   - Women who are pregnant or breast feeding

   - Any condition which, in the investigator's opinion, including substance abuse,
   medical, psychological or social conditions that makes the patient unsuitable for
   trial participation or may interfere with the patient's participation in the study
