Dose escalation STRATegy of regorafenib in Advanced HepatoCellular Carcinoma: Phase II STRATA-HCC trial (Foyer) - May 4, 2025 - Abstract #ESMOGI2025ESMO_GI_693; P2 Background: Regorafenib prolonged overall survival (OS) after progression on sorafenib in the phase 3 RESOURCE trial with the standard-dose strategy (160 mg/day orally for 21 days of a 28-day cycle). This single-arm trial demonstrated that a dose-escalation strategy of regorafenib provided treatment benefits with a favorable safety profile, representing an alternative approach after 1st-line therapy.

Sequence analysis of three different treatment alternatives for patients with left-side RAS wild type metastatic colorectal cancer in Spain (Foyer) - May 4, 2025 - Abstract #ESMOGI2025ESMO_GI_492; In accordance with clinical practice in Spain, anti-EGFR costs were based on a 50/50 split of cetuximab/panitumumab, anti-VEGF costs on bevacizumab, and CT costs on a 65/35 split of mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI... The findings suggest that starting with anti-EGFR + CT is the most favorable sequence for the Spanish NHS compared to the rest of analized treatment sequences, providing an additional year of median OS, while being the most efficient targeted therapy in terms of
