introduction to Regorafenib

Regorafenib was approved by the U.S. FDA on September 27, 2012, for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is a kinase inhibitor that works by blocking several enzymes involved in the growth of cancer cells.

How Regorafenib Works

Regorafenib inhibits multiple protein kinases that play a role in tumor angiogenesis, oncogenesis, and the tumor microenvironment. By blocking these kinases, it reduces tumor growth and prevents the spread of cancer cells.
