NCT ID NCT02310477
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study followed 704 adults with metastatic colorectal cancer who received regorafenib through a French compassionate-use program. Researchers measured how long patients lived after starting the drug and collected data on tumor characteristics and prior treatments. The goal was to see how regorafenib performs in real-world settings outside of clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- regorafenib (Stivarga)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm how well regorafenib works in everyday practice for advanced colorectal cancer patients who have run out of other options.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection and other factors. It does not test a new treatment or prove cause and effect.
