Regorafenib is an oral multi-tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor. It exhibits high selectivity for VEGFR1/2/3, while also inhibiting PDGFRβ, FGFR1, and oncogenic signaling cascades involving c-RAF/RAF1 and BRAF. These pathways are highly expressed in meningiomas, particularly in high-grade meningiomas. The MIRAGE trial (NCT06275919) is a multicenter, open-label, controlled, randomized phase 2 clinical trial evaluating grade 2/3 meningioma patients who have progressed following surgery and radiotherapy. A total of 94 participants are being randomized (1:1) to receive either regorafenib (160 mg orally for 3 weeks on, 1 week off) or local standard-of-care therapies (e.g., bevacizumab, hydroxyurea, somatostatin analogs). Major inclusion criteria include histological confirmation of grade 2 or grade 3 meningioma according to the WHO 2021 classification, radiologically documented progression according to RANO criteria with at least 1 measurable lesion (minimum 10 × 10 mm) on baseline MRI, ineligibility for further surgery and/or radiotherapy, and a WHO performance status of 0-1. The primary endpoint is 6-month progression-free survival (6m-PFS) and secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), safety, and health-related quality of life. Exploratory analysis will also be performed. MIRAGE, initiated in September 2024, is an academic trial promoted by the Istituto Oncologico Veneto, IOV-IRCCS, and will recruit patients across 15 neuro-oncology centers in Italy with an estimated study duration of 18 months. MIRAGE is a phase 2 trial designed to determine the role of regorafenib in prolonging the PFS of grade 2-3 meningioma patients ineligible for further surgery and/or radiotherapy.
