Regorafenib for recurrent high-grade glioma: a unicentric retrospective analysis of feasibility, efficacy, and toxicity.

ABSTRACT: We describe here 11 consecutive patients with recurrence of high-grade glioma treated with regorafenib at our university medical center. The majority of patients had MGMT promoter methylation (9/11 cases). Regorafenib was given as 2nd line systemic treatment in 6/11 patients and 3rd or higher line treatment in 5/11 patients. The median number of applied cycles was 2 with dosage reductions in 5/11. Response to treatment was observed in 4/11 (PR in 1/11, and SD in 3/11). Median overall survival for the cohort was 16.1 months, median progression-free survival 9.0 months, and median time to treatment failure 3.3 months. Side effects of any CTCAE grade were noted in all patients, hereby 6/11 with CTCAE °III-IV reactions. High-grade side effects were of dermatologic, cardiovascular, and hematolo
