Unexpected and durable response with regorafenib in a metastatic colorectal cancer patient without KDR mutation: A case report

Regorafenib is an oral multikinase inhibitor and is approved as salvage therapy in the standard treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Due to its limited efficacy, toxicity profile, and cost, it is necessary to identify those patients who may have the most benefit from regorafenib. In a previous case report, kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) mutation has been associated with exceptional clinical response (CR) in an elderly patient treated with a low dose of regorafenib; thus, it was hypothesized that it could represent a new predictive marker of drug response.
