767 Background: The CORRECT trial (NCT01103323) showed that REG improves overall survival (OS) vs placebo (PBO) in patients with mCRC who failed approved therapies (OS HR 0.77; 1-sided p=0.0052; Grothey 2013). A total of 760 patients were randomized to REG (n=505) or PBO (n=255) in more than 100 centers across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. We conducted a post-hoc exploratory subgroup analysis of the 83 (11%) patients from 18 US centers. Methods: Eligible patients had an ECOG PS ≤1 and had received approved therapies, including a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and bevacizumab, and if KRAS wild-type cetuximab and/or panitumumab. Data from the overall cohort, including US patients, are provided for perspective. Descriptive statistics are shown. Results: Of the 83 US patients, 36 (43%) were randomized to PBO and 47 (57%) to REG. Baseline characteristics of the US group were consistent with the overall cohort: median age in the US was 58 yr (range, 34 – 85) vs 61 (22 – 85) overall, 49% of US patients were ECOG PS1 (vs 46%), and 46% received ≤ 3 treatments for mCRC (vs 52%). KRAS status mutant/wild-type was 57%/34% in the US vs 57%/39% overall. All patients in the trial had prior bevacizumab and 57% of US patients also had prior cetuximab and/or panitumumab (vs 51% overall). However, higher proportion of patients in the US were Black (11% vs 2%), KRAS status unknown (10% vs 4%), and had colon as the primary disease site (82% vs 65%). Mean percentages of planned REG dose were similar (76% US vs 79% overall) and mean REG treatment duration was 3.1 mos in US vs 2.8 mos overall. Rates of dose modifications REG/PBO were 87%/47% in the US vs 76%/38% overall and grade ≥3 adverse events REG/PBO were 74%/64% vs 78%/49%, respectively. Based on 44 total death events, the HR for OS in the US subgroup was 0.46 (95%CI 0.25 – 0.84) favoring REG; median OS was 4.7 mos for PBO, but could not be estimated for REG due to censored data. However, this analysis was based on a relatively small sample size and event count. Conclusions: Patients treated in the CORRECT study in the US appear similar to the overall cohort and results are generally consistent with the overall findings of the trial. Clinical trial information: NCT01103323.

735 Background: In the phase III CORRECT study, regorafenib significantly improved overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) vs placebo in patients with treatment-refractory mCRC. CONSIGN (NCT01538680) was a large phase IIIb study that included 2872 patients from 25 countries; it was designed to provide continued access to regorafenib for patients with mCRC who failed standard therapy and to further characterize the safety of regorafenib. In CONSIGN, adverse events (AEs) and PFS were consistent with those reported in phase III studies. We present a retrospective subgroup analysis of patients enrolled in CONSIGN in the USA. Methods: Patients with mCRC who progressed on standard therapies and had an ECOG PS 0─1 received regorafenib 160 mg QD for the first 3 weeks of each 4-week cycle. Treatment was continued until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was safety. PFS (per investigator) was the only efficacy variable assessed. Results: A total of 364 patients in the USA were assigned to treatment (all evaluable for safety). The median age was 60 years; 38% and 62% had ECOG PS 0 and 1, respectively. KRAS mutation was present in 59%, KRAS wt in 38%; 74% had ≥ 3 prior regimens for metastatic disease. Median duration of treatment was 2.3 months (range: 0–30). Median PFS (95% CI) was 2.3 (2.0–2.6) months (2.1 months KRAS wt; 2.3 months KRAS mutant). NCI-CTCAE v4.0 grade ≥ 3 AEs occurred in 81% of patients and were considered drug-related in 53% (Table). Grade ≥ 3 hepatobiliary disorders occurred in 2%. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent laboratory toxicities included bilirubin (9%), AST (6%), and ALT (3%). Conclusions: In patients from the USA enrolled in CONSIGN, the safety profile of regorafenib was consistent with that of the overall population and the known safety profile of regorafenib in mCRC. Median PFS was in the range of that reported in phase III trials. Clinical trial information: NCT01538680. [Table: see text]
