ABSTRACT: Background
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of regorafenib plus irinotecan, dose-escalated on the basis of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) genotyping, in previously heavily treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and the prognostic values of EGFR expression, KRAS mutations, and tumor sidedness.Methods
Forty-one patients with mCRC with disease progression after treatment with fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, anti-VEGF, and anti-EGFR MoAbs were subjected to UGT1A1 genotyping and received regorafenib combined with FOLFIRI with dose-escalated irinotecan.Results
The median follow-up period was 10.0 months (1.3-23.5 months). The overall disease control rate was 58.5%, whereas the median progression-free survival (PFS) and ove
