Background: Regorafenib (REG) is an oral multikinase inhibitor used for treatment of metastatic colon cancer after progression on fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan therapy. The FDA approval was based on CORRECT trial showing improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Another trial (CONCUR) showed similar results. However, these trials included predominantly Whites and Asians. Our study aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes in the underserved, mainly African Americans and Hispanics. Methods: Cook County hospital is the 3rd largest public hospital in the US. All patients with an order for REG were identified from our pharmacy database. Charts were retrospectively reviewed for cancer stage, age, ethnicity, previous treatments, PFS and OS. Patients with non-colorectal cancer, incomplete data, no evidence of REG usage were excluded. Statistical analysis was done by t-test on subgroups. Results: A total of 42 patients were screened and 30 were included in the study. A comparison of outcomes with CORRECT and CONCUR trials is presented in Table 1. Our study patients, despite being less heavily pre-treated, had a worse OS compared to the clinical trials, with similar PFS. There was a trend towards better PFS and OS in women in our study of 4.3 and 4.8 months compared to men with 1.9 and 3.3 months respectively (p = NS). Six (20%) patients discontinued REG due to intolerance within a median of 1.2 months. The intolerant patients had a significantly higher median BMI of 31 compared to 24.9 for patients who continued the medication to progression (p = 0.019). Conclusions: Compared to CORRECT and CONCUR trials, population of predominantly AA and Hispanics showed a trend towards worse OS despite being less heavily pre-treated indicating worse outcomes in minorities treated with REG. Women showed better PFS and OS compared to men in our study. Patients unable to tolerate REG had significantly higher BMI, indicating a need to study dosing in this subgroup.
