Up to 6 months
Number of participants with serious adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability
Up to 6 months
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Up to 6 months

The PFS is defined as the time from date of treatment assignment (i.e., date of first treatment) to date of first observed disease progression or death due to any cause, if death occurs while the subject is in the study (that is, by the last visit including during the safety follow-up visit date), and before progression is observed.

Overall Survival (OS)
From randomization (Day 1) of the first subject until 419 days later

Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time from date of randomization (Day 1) to death due to any cause. Subjects still alive at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of last contact.

Progression-free Survival
From randomization of the first subject until approximately 144 progression-free survival events had occurred (study duration approximately one year)

Progression-free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to radiological disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS was based on central radiological assessment using modified RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) v.1.1. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study; or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions; or appearance of new lesions. Subjects without progression or death at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation. Results are based on central evaluation.

Overall Survival
From randomization of the first subject until the database cut-off approximately 14 months later (19May2010 - 21Jul2011) used for 2nd planned formal interim analysis (IA).

Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time (days) from randomization to death due to any cause. Patients alive at the time of analysis were censored at the last date known to be alive. If a patient was lost to follow-up and there was no contact after randomization, this patient was censored at Day 1.

Number of Participants With Progression-free Survival at 6 Months
Baseline to 6 months following start of treatment

Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Death is also considered as progression in the analysis.

The number of participants that reach a partial response (PR)defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

objective response rate
From date of inclusion until end of treatment for the patient, assessed to 4 months

The objective response rate (ORR) will be defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria as the best disease response observed during the treatment period (assessed to 4 months). ORR rate is defined as the proportion of patients whose tumor regresses or does not progress under treatment.

Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1 Assessed by Investigator
Through database cut-off date of 11-NOV-2020 (Primary Completion Date) (up to 13 months)

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR: Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have decreased in size to have a short axis of \< 10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

PFS1
36 months

Progression free survival will be calculated for all patients from the date of randomization until the date PD or death is first reported.

Number of Participants That Have Any Grade HFSR Toxicity
Up to Safety Follow-Up Visit (30 days +/- 7 days after permanently stopping study treatment)

The trial will measure the toxicities of HFSR in participants receiving both perindopril and regorafenib using the CTCAE v4.03 criteria. The toxicity of HFSR will be expressed based on the number of participants in the study (N=10) who are experiencing HFSR of all grades.

10-month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate [MTC Cohort]
Disease was evaluated through imaging scan on baseline, Cycle 1 Day 1, end of treatment and during follow-up. Relevant to this endpoint is 10 Months

10-month PFS Rate is the proportion of participants ramaing alive and progression free at 10 months. Progression-free survival based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the duration of time from study entry to documented disease progression (PD) or death. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria: progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.

Response Rate [Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC)] DATA NOT MATURE YET

Occurrence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT)
28 days after the start of treatment

The dose-finding escalation will be driven by the occurrence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT), assessed over the first 28-day cycle (cycle 1), and defined as any of the following haematological and non-haematological events that occur during the DLT period (4 weeks after the start of treatment = cycle 1) and are at least possibly related (possibly, probably, or definitely) attributable to VDC/IE + regorafenib: * Any cardiac toxicity grade ≥ 3 * Any grade 3 or 4 (hematological or non-hematological) toxicity leading to delay of start of next course by \> 7 days (i.e: starting \> day 21). * Any dose interruption or reduction due to toxicity which results in administration of less than 80% of the planned dosage of regorafenib or 75% of the planned dosage of chemotherapy. * Any grade 3 or 4 toxicity resulting in discontinuation of the new combination * Any grade 5 toxicity related to study treatment (death)

Number of patients with a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

The Number of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) for RD Determination
4 weeks

The procedure for DLT assessment was as follows: 1. When DLT is observed in 1 out of 3 cases, 3 additional cases are added to the administration level. 2. When DLT is observed in more than 2 of 3 cases, it is judged that the administration level exceeds Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). 3. If the number of DLT is 1 case or less in 6 cases, shift to the next level. 4. If MTD is exceeded, shift to the next lower level. At the relevant dose, if only 3 people are evaluating DLT, add 3 cases. When the number of DLT is 1 or less out of 6, the dose is defined as MTD and RD. If it is judged that Level 1 exceeds the MTD, review the dose or consider stopping the trial. 5. MTD should be the highest dose level of DLT expression less than 1 in 6 cases. - After the RD was determined and the patient moved to the expansion cohort, G3 skin toxicity occurred, so based on the recommendation of the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee, the RD was reduced by one level and the trial was resumed.

Nivolumab: Given once every 2 weeks at a dose of 3.0 mg/kg via an intravenous infusion. When it is deemed that there is no problem with safety at the doses described above, tolerability will be verified at the level-2 dosages described below.
Level 2ACTIVE_COMPARATORRegorafenib: Oral administration at a dose of 120 mg/day for 21 consecutive days, with a 1-week washout period. Nivolumab: Given once every 2 weeks at a dose of 3.0 mg/kg. When it is deemed that there is no problem with safety at the doses described above, tolerability will be verified at the level-3 dosages described below.
Level 3ACTIVE_COMPARATORRegorafenib: Oral administration at a dose of 160 mg/day for 21 consecutive days, with a 1-week washout period. Nivolumab: Given once every 2 weeks at a dose of 3.0 mg/kg. After starting the trial, three cases are registered at level 1, and temporary case registration is suspended until safety evaluation of the first course is completed in all cases. If there are cases in which evaluation of DLT can not be performed properly, such as being canceled due to reasons other than safety during the course of the first course, the necessary number of cases is appropriately added to the administration level.
Expansion cohortACTIVE_COMPARATORAfter completion of the final DLT evaluation period of the subjects in the dose escalating cohort, the decision to move the subjects into the expansion cohort will be determined once it is decided, upon deliberation between the sponsor and the principal investigator, that there are no problems associated with moving on. Furthermore, the opinion of the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) can be sought as required . Regarding the review of RD in the expansion cohort, please refer to "Analysis Population Description" in Primary Outcome Measures.
Sunitinib alternated with RegorafenibEXPERIMENTALThe treatment cycle is defined as 28 days. Treatment consists of 3 days of once daily sunitinib alternating with 4 days of once daily regorafenib throughout each cycle. The starting dose level is sunitinib 37.5 mg/d and regorafenib 120 mg/d, and doses will be escalated in subsequent cohorts following a classical 3+3 design up to sunitinib 50 mg/d and regorafenib 160 mg/d or until maximum tolerable dosage and recommended phase II dose is determined. An alternative scheme of 4-week cycles of the same regimen but with 21 days of dosing followed by 7 days of rest will be studied in case of toxicities during d 22-28 of the starting 4-weeks continuous cycles. Tumor assessments performed at baseline and after every two dosing cycles to assess response. Toxicity monitored throughout the study.
