A Phase I Dose–Escalation Study of Regorafenib (BAY 73–4506), an Inhibitor of Oncogenic, Angiogenic, and Stromal Kinases, in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

Purpose: Regorafenib is a novel oral multikinase inhibitor of angiogenic (VEGFR1-3, TIE2), stromal (PDGFR-β, FGFR), and oncogenic kinases (KIT, RET, and RAF). This first-in-man, phase I dose–escalation study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and efficacy profiles of regorafenib in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods: Patients aged 18 years or older with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard...
