Who might be able to join this trial:

  • People who have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, confirmed by a tissue sample (biopsy), and whose cancer has continued to grow after one round of chemotherapy treatment.
  • People whose first treatment for their spreading cancer included one of several specific chemotherapy combinations (such as FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, or FOLFIRINOX), given either alone or alongside certain targeted medicines (bevacizumab or anti-EGFR therapy).

  • People aged 18 years or older.
  • People whose general health and ability to carry out daily activities meets a specific medical standard (a score of 0 or 1 on a scale used by doctors to measure how well a person is functioning day-to-day).
  • People who have at least one area of cancer that can be measured on a scan (CT or MRI).
  • People whose cancer has been tested and found to have specific molecular features: stable microsatellite status (MSS), no BRAF V600E gene change, and a known RAS gene status.
  • People with blood counts, liver function, and kidney function within acceptable ranges as measured by blood tests (confirm specific values with trial site).
  • People who are able to receive iodine-based contrast dye used during CT scans.
  • Women of childbearing age who have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days before starting the study drug, and who agree to use reliable contraception during the study and for 210 days after the last dose; men are also required to use adequate contraception where applicable.

  • People who have previously been treated with the study drug, regorafenib.
  • People who have previously received anti-cancer medicines that target blood vessel growth, other than bevacizumab.
  • People who have a complete lack of an enzyme called DPD, which the body uses to process certain chemotherapy drugs.
