Subjects will be asked to participate in the study because they are aged 70 or older and
require treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and
has not gotten better with other treatment. Subjects will undergo some initial tests to
ensure that they meet all criteria necessary to participate in the study. Once the
subject has completed initial testing and meets eligibility criteria, the subject will
begin treatment with 120 mg of regorafenib (3 tablets) each day for 21 days (3 weeks) in
a 28 day cycle (4 weeks). After the first cycle, the doctor will discuss the possibility
of increasing the dose to 160 mg (4 tablets) each day for 21 days (3 weeks) in a 28 day
cycle (4 weeks) based on the subjects health status. During the study, assessments will
be performed to monitor the subjects tolerance and response to the treatment. Regorafenib
will continue as long as the subject is tolerating the treatment and the subjects
colorectal cancer is either responding to treatment or remains stable.
