- To compare the efficacy of regorafenib combined with irinotecan versus irinotecan alone in terms of the progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: expected duration of 6 months from randomisation ]Time duration from randomisation to time of first event (locoregional or distant relapse or progression, second malignancy, death from any cause).
- To evaluate the efficacy of regorafenib combined with irinotecan versus irinotecan alone in terms of the progression-free survival rate [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months from randomisation ]Progression-free survival rates at 6 and 12 months
- To evaluate the efficacy of regorafenib combined with irinotecan versus irinotecan alone in terms of the disease control rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: expected duration of 6 months from randomisation ]Percentage of patients with complete response, partial response or stable disease as best response at the database cut-off date
- To evaluate the efficacy of regorafenib combined with irinotecan versus irinotecan alone in terms of the objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: expected duration of 6 months from randomisation ]Percentage of patients with complete response or partial response
- To compare treatment-related toxicity [ Time Frame: expected 30 days after last study treatment administration ]Frequency and severity of adverse events assessed by NCI-CTCAE v5.0
- To compare the effect of treatment on quality of life [ Time Frame: expected 30 days after last study treatment administration ]Evaluation of quality of life with EORTC quality of life questionnaire for cancer patients (QLQ-C30)
- To compare the effect of treatment on quality of life related to gastro-oesophageal cancer [ Time Frame: expected 30 days after last study treatment administration ]Evaluation of quality of life with EORTC quality of life specific questionnaire for gastro-oesophageal tumours (QLQ-OG25)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient must have signed a written informed consent form prior to any study specific procedures
