    Abstract:
    Regorafenib significantly prolongs overall survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but the overall clinical efficacy of regorafenib remains quite limited. Combination chemotherapy is a potentially promising approach to enhance anticancer activity, overcome drug resistance, and improve disease-free and overall survival. The current study investigates the antitumor activity of regorafenib in combination with lapatinib in preclinical models of human CRC. Our results show improved antitumor efficacy when regorafenib is combined with lapatinib both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, pharmacokinetic analyses revealed that regorafenib and lapatinib do not influence on each plasma concentration. The finding that regorafenib in combination with lapatinib have synergistic activity warrants further clinical investigation of this beneficial combination as a potential treatment strategy for CRC patients.
