Article Synopsis
  • Regorafenib (R) and fruquintinib (F) are current third-line treatments for colorectal cancer, but their effectiveness is limited, leading to interest in combining them with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
  • A study involving 313 metastatic colorectal cancer patients compared the efficacy of F, R, F plus a PD-1 inhibitor, and R plus PD-1 inhibitors, highlighting that the combination therapy showed improved outcomes, particularly with the F plus PD-1 inhibitor (FP) group.
  • The results indicated that FP had better disease control rates and longer progression-free survival compared to F and RP, while RP did not demonstrate significant survival benefits compared to R.
