ABSTRACT
Regorafenib is a novel oral multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor having both antitumor and anti‑angiogenic activities. Regorafenib was recently approved by US Food and Drug Administration in February 25, 2013 in the treatment for patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor and for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma after disease progression or intolerance to imatinib mesylate and sunitinib therapy. Oral regorafenib demonstrates a high level of efficacy with acceptable tolerability with the 160 mg daily for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off schedule; a continuous schedule could be of interest. Hypertension, mucositis, hand foot skin reaction, diarrhea and asthenia are the most common side‑effects. Regardless of these encouraging results, studies investigating, adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings are awaited, as well as trials using regorafenib in combination with chemotherapy or other targeted therapies. Clinical trials investigating regorafenib in other tumor types are ongoing.
