Summary:

      This is a single arm open label pilot phase II trial of Regorafenib PO plus 5-FU/LV infusion
      in 15 mCRC patients who progressed on prior Regorafenib monotherapy as well as 5-FU

      monotherapy.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. mCRC with prior progression on standard multi-agent combination chemotherapy and
             regorafenib as a standard approved monotherapy. Progression on prior regorafenib is
             required for inclusion in this clinical study. Prior regimens may include FOLFOX -/+
             bevacizumab, FOLFIRI -/+ bevacizumab or -/+ cetuximab (if KRAS wild-type) or
             panitumumab (if KRAS wilt-type). Other prior regimens may include 5-FU or capecitabine
             -/+ bevacizumab, irinotecan -/+ cetuximab or panitumumab, FOLFIRI -/+ ziv-aflibercept
             or ramucirumab.

          2. Patients treated with oxaliplatin in an adjuvant setting should have progressed during
             or within 6 months of completion of adjuvant therapy. Patients who progress more than
             6 months after completion of oxaliplatin containing adjuvant treatment must be
             retreated. Patients who have withdrawn from standard treatment due to unacceptable
             toxicity warranting discontinuation of treatment and precluding retreatment with the
             same agent prior to progression of disease will also be allowed in the study.

          3. Patients previously treated with chemotherapy must have at least 4 weeks period
             between the last dose of previous chemotherapy and the first dose in this clinical
             study. Patients previously treated with biologics such as Avastin, Zaltrap, Erbitux,
             and Vectibix must have at least 6 weeks period between the last dose of previous
             chemotherapy and the first dose in this clinical study.

             molecular weight heparin Subjects who are prophylactically treated with an agent such
             as warfarin or heparin require close monitoring (day5 of cycle 1 and day 1 of each
             cycle) of their INR/PTT. If either of these values are above the therapeutic range,
             the doses should be modified and the assessments should be repeated weekly until they
             are stable.
