The purpose of this study is to learn if combination of the two drugs regorafenib and nivolumab is an effective treatment for pMMR - MSS colorectal cancer, a special type of cancer of the colon or rectum (pMMR stands for proficient Mismatch Repair; MSS stands for Microsatellite Stable) and whether it is safe for patients. Regorafenib works by blocking several different proteins involved in tumor growth. Nivolumab is an immunotherapy drug encouraging the body's own immune system to attack cancer cells. Both drugs have been approved, but not for how they are being used as combination therapy in this study. Brand name of regorafenib is Stivarga; brand name of nivolumab is Opdivo.
Name: Regorafenib (BAY73-4506, Stivarga)
Name: Nivolumab (Opdivo)
Description: The proportion of patients with overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR).
Measure: ORR (Overall response rate) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1 Time: Up to 1 yearDescription: DOR is defined for responders only as the time from first documentation of response (i.e. CR or PR) until disease progression or death (if death without documented disease progression).
Measure: Duration of Response (DOR) Time: Approximately 2 yearsDescription: Disease control is defined as tumor response of stable disease or better.
Measure: Disease control rate (DCR) Time: Up to 1 yearDescription: PFS is the time from first dose of study medication to disease progression or death, whichever is earlier.
Measure: Progression-free survival (PFS) Time: Approximately 2 yearsDescription: OS is defined as time from first dose to death.
Measure: Overall survival (OS) Time: Approximately 2 yearsAllocation: N/A
