TPS366 Background: Advanced Gastro-oesophageal Carcinoma (AGOC) has a poor prognosis, and there is no established standard treatment following failure of first- and second-line chemotherapy. Regorafenib (BAY 73-4506) is an investigational oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) which targets angiogenic (VEGF, TIE-2), stromal (PDGF-β), and oncogenic (RAF, RET and KIT) receptor tyrosine kinases, and has shown activity in this setting. Single agent regorafenib prolonged progression free survival (PFS) versus placebo across all regions/subgroups in the INTEGRATE randomised phase 2 trial. Current options in refractory AOGC involves sequencing through chemotherapy with the latest active agent approved being trifluridine/tipiracil, TAS-102. Promising activity in refractory AOGC has been seen with the combination of regorafenib & nivolumab. INTEGRATE IIb–will compare the effectiveness of the combination of regorafenib & nivolumab in pre-treated patients with AGOC to current standard chemotherapy. Methods: Randomised phase III, open label study with 2:1 randomisation (RegoNivo : standard chemotherapy) and stratification by: Geographic region (Asia vs. Rest of World); Prior VEGF inhibitors (Yes vs No); Prior immunotherapy (Yes vs No). RegoNivo arm will receive 90mg (3x30mg) of regorafenib days 1-21 of each 28-day treatment cycle with intravenous nivolumab 240 mg day 1 of each 14 day cycle until disease progression or prohibitive adverse events as per protocol. The control arm will receive the investigator’s choice of the following chemotherapy; a taxane (paclitaxel or docetaxel), irinotecan or oral trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS102). Primary endpoint: OS. Secondary endpoints: PFS, response rate, quality of life, toxicity, exploratory correlative biomarkers. Clinical trial information: NCT04879368.

TPS4136 Background: AGOC has a poor prognosis with no established standard treatment following failure of chemotherapy (CT). Regorafenib (BAY 73-4506)(REG) is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor targeting kinases involved in angiogenesis (VEGFR1-3, TIE-2), tumor microenvironment (PDGFR-β, FGFR), and oncogenesis (RAF, RET and KIT). INTEGRATE (phase 2) demonstrated REG was highly effective in prolonging PFS across a range of AGOC pts, with a positive OS trend. Regional differences were found in magnitude of effect, but REG was effective in all regions/subgroups. The phase 3 INTEGRATE II will explore whether REG is effective in prolonging survival in patients overall, and in the Asian sub-population. Methods: International (Australia/New Zealand (NHMRC CTC); Canada (CCTG), Korea, Japan, Taiwan, USA (ACCRU)) randomised phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 2:1 (REG:placebo)(PBO) randomisation and stratification by: Location of tumour, Geographic region, prior VEGF inhibitors. Eligible patients (histologically confirmed AGOC), with evaluable metastatic or locally advanced disease refractory to, or relapsed following second line CT, will receive best supportive care plus 160mg REG or matched placebo orally on days 1-21 of each 28 day cycle until disease progression or prohibitive adverse events. Primary endpoint is OS. Secondary endpoints: PFS, response rate, quality of life, safety, identification of prognostic/predictive biomarkers for study endpoints, and REG PK across geographical regions. 350 patients (50% from Asia) randomized in a 2:1 ratio will provide 90% power to detect a hazard ratio (HR) for OS of 0.67 with a 2-sided α of 0.05 assuming PBO median survival is 4.5 mos. The sample size accommodates 2 interim analyses undertaken at 1/3 and 2/3 of required events. As of January 2017, 12 of 28 planned ANZ sites are open, with 4 patients enrolled. Regulatory approval has been received for 12 Canadian sites, and 12 Korean sites. Korean recruitment is expected to commence in February 2017. Regulatory submissions are pending in Taiwan, Japan, and the USA. Clinical trial information: NCT02773524.
