New Protocol: Regorafenib Maintenance for Sarcoma


  • Study

    Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 2 trial (EREMISS)
    Advanced non-adipocytic soft tissue sarcomas post 1st-line doxorubicin-based chemotherapy
    Regorafenib 120 mg/day (3 wks on/1 wk off) vs. placebo



  • Efficacy

    mPFS: 5.6 mos vs. 3.5 mos (regorafenib vs. placebo) (HR: 0.53 [0.36–0.78])
    mOS: 27.6 mos vs. 20.5 mos (HR: 0.78 [0.50–1.22])
    Investigator-assessed mPFS: 6.8 mos vs. 3.6 mos (HR: 0.59 [0.40–0.85])
    Disease control (CR/PR/SD): 80% vs. 49%



  • Safety

    Grade ≥3 AEs: 56.3% vs. 4.8%
    Most common Grade ≥3 AEs (regorafenib): fatigue (9.4%), hypertension (7.8%), rash (7.8%)
    Treatment discontinuation due to AEs: 28.1%
