Brief Summary

This study evaluates the interest of regorafenib in combination of metronomic chemotherapies and low-dose aspirin as a 2 months induction therapy before chemotherapy initiation in the second-line metastatic colorectal carcinoma

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with histologically proven metastatic colorectal cancer in progression after a first line of chemotherapy +/- targeted therapy 2. Patients must have been treated for their metastatic disease with one of the following regimens as first-line therapy: * FOLFOX (Oxaliplatine, 5-Fluoro-uracil) * FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluoro-uracil) * FOLFIRINOX (Irinotecan, oxaplipatin, 5-Fluoro-uracil) or FOLFOXIRI (irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-Fluoro-uracil) * FOLFOX and anti-VEGFA (bevacizumab only) * FOLFIRI and anti-VEGFA (bevacizumab only) * FOLFIRINOX or FOLFOXIRI and anti-VEGFA (bevacizumab only) * FOLFOX and anti-EGFR (Epiderman Growth Factor Recepto) * FOLFIRI and anti-EGFR * FOLFIRINOX or FOLFOXIRI and anti-EGFR Of note, a chemotherapy prescribed for metastases occurring within six months after the end of an adjuvant chemotherapy are considered as a second line of therapy. 3. Patients should have a history of resistance to first line chemotherapy defined by: * Disease progression during the first line of their metastatic disease, less than 3 months after the last exposition to chemotherapy (even a chemotherapy regimen mentioned above or a 5-Fluoro-uracil-based maintenance therapy). * Disease relapse within 6 months after the end of an adjuvant FOLFOX based chemotherapy. * Disease relapse within 6 months after the surgical resection of metastases following a first line of chemotherapy. 4. Life expectancy of at least 3 months 5. Female or male with age ≥18 years old 6. Performance status Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group World Health Organization (ECOG-WHO) ≤1 (Appendix 1), 7.

Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal functions. * Haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L; platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L * Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper normal value (ULN), serum alkaline phosphatase \< 5 times ULN, aminotransferases (AST/ALT) ≤ 3 × ULN in absence of hepatic metastasis or ≤ 5 if presence of hepatic lesions * Cockcroft glomerular filtration rate \> 50 ml/min * Proteinuria \<2+ (dipstick urinalysis) or ≤1g/24hour 10. No contraindication to Iodine contrast media injection during CT 11. For female patients of childbearing potential, negative pregnancy test within 14 days before starting the study drug through at 210 days after the last dose of regorafenib.

Diagnosis of additional malignancy within 2 years prior to the inclusion (exception of curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or curatively resected in situ cervical and/or bladder cancer), 2. Current participation in a study of an investigational agent. Patients might be included at least 21 days following the last investigational agent administration. 3. Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before inclusion in the trial; 4. Patient under judicial protection (curators, autorship) and/or deprived of freedom, 5. Planned surgical procedure within the first month of treatment or any procedure that might change the timing of regorafenib administration during the first month of treatment, 6.
