FOLFOX rechallenge versus regorafenib in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to standard chemotherapy: A retrospective analysis.

2019 
669Background: Nowadays the optimal treatment for mCRC beyond second line is still questioned. During last years, regorafenib and TAS-102 showed to improve survival compared to best supportive care in pts with refractory mCRC. Recently, some retrospective analyses compared the efficacy and safety of regorafenib and TAS-102 reporting no significant differences in survival and response outcomes. In real-world clinical practice, chemotherapy (CT) rechallenge is often considered for refractory mCRC. However, evidences regarding CT rechallenge is limited and no study has previously compared such approach with the recently approved antineoplastic agents in late lines. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy between CT rechallenge and regorafenib in pts with refractory mCRC. Methods: This is a mono-institutional retrospective study. We compared the efficacy of FOLFOX rechallenge and regorafenib in pts with mCRC refractory to at least 2 lines of standard CT, treated at Fondazione Policlinico Universitar...
