Zinc Supplement in Regorafenib Treated mCRC Patient
- Conditions
- Colorectal Cancer Metastatic
- Interventions
- Dietary Supplement: Zinc gluconate supplement
- Registration Number
- NCT03898102
- Lead Sponsor
- Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
- Brief Summary
Phase II randomized trial to investigate whether supplementation of zinc decreases the incidence of HFSR that occurs after treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, regorafenib.
- Detailed Description
This study is aimed to investigate the effect of zinc supplementation on improving regorafenib treatment safety and efficacy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The difference in grade 2 or worse hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) incidence within the first 8 weeks of regorafenib treatment between two arms will be examined as the primary objective.

Group Intervention Description Regorafenib treatment only Regorafenib Patients enrolled in this arm received regorafenib without zinc supplementation, which is the standard treatment of patients of metastatic colorectal cancer who failed previous standard therapy. Regorafenib treatment with Zn supplement Regorafenib Patients enrolled in this arm received regorafenib with zinc supplementation to examine if zinc supplementation can decrease the incidence of grade 2 or higher HFSR. Regorafenib treatment with Zn supplement Zinc gluconate supplement Patients enrolled in this arm received regorafenib with zinc supplementation to examine if zinc supplementation can decrease the incidence of grade 2 or higher HFSR.
