Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Of Intrabucally Administered Electromagnetic Fields and Regorafenib (NCT NCT04327700)

NCT ID: NCT04327700

Last Updated: 2026-03-05

Results Overview

Progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 weeks after study enrollment. PFS assessment will be recorded in days and will represent the period starting at the date of enrollment and finishing at the later of the date of documentation of radiologic tumor progression, date of last follow-up on study treatment or death, whichever comes first. Patients who initiate post-study anti-tumor therapy prior to radiologic progression will be censored for PFS at that date. PFS is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions compared to the smallest sum recorded (nadir), plus an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Measure
Regorafenib and TheraBionic
TheraBionic is a device that consists of battery-driven radiofrequency electromagnetic field generator. The metal mouth spoon antenna is placed on the anterior part of the tongue during treatment. Regorafenib is a 40 mg tablet administered orally. TheraBionic: Amplitude-modulated electromagnetic fields will be self-administered and given continuously to patients in three courses of 60-minute treatments per day, administered in the morning, at noon and in the evening at the patient's home, with the exception of the first 60-minute treatment, which will be delivered at the research site. Each 4 week treatment period will be considered a cycle of treatment. Regorafenib: Patients will receive 160 mg regorafenib (four 40 mg tablets) orally once daily for the first 3 weeks of each 4-week cycle per approved prescribing information.

Overall Survival
2 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 12 weeks

Disease control is defined as the percentage of participants alive and have documented response status of complete response, partial response or stable disease according to the modified RECIST (mRECIST) for hepatocellular carcinoma. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions, without evidence of disease progression. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease.

Any grade 3+ adverse event graded by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Adverse events will be compared for the treatment group (WFBCCC 55319 study) and historical control (from the RESORCE trial), using the Fisher's exact test (two-sided) at level 0.05. These comparisons will be made to compare events of grade greater than or equal to 3 between each group.

Number of Participants With Grade 3+ Adverse Events - Comparison of Adverse Events (WFBCCC 55319 to RESORCE Historical Trial)
1 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Only one study participant stayed on study to the six month point. Reporting values for a single patient would be reporting individualized data so this was not analyzed. The one participant did not allow analysis for this outcome measure for data to be collected.

Average alpha-fetoprotein level levels will be examined over time, and these changes in Alfa-fetoprotein rates after 6 months will be examined for each Response category (complete response/ partial response/ stable disease/ progressive disease) and tested using a 1-way ANOVA to see if the change in alpha-fetoprotein level differs by response category.
