Background: Regorafenib (REG) and trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) demonstrated overall survival (OS) benefit in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in the CORRECT and RECOURSE phase III trials. In Japan, REG and FTD/TPI have been approved in 2013 and 2014, respectively. However, little is known about survival impact on these agents in the real-world setting. Therefore, the aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effects of REG and FTD/TPI in pts with mCRC. Methods: We collected medical records from consecutive 1142 pts who had been initiated with first-line chemotherapy for mCRC from 2008 to 2016 at National Cancer Center Hospital East. The survival outcomes were compared between pts from 2008 to 2011 (cohort A) and those from 2012 to 2016 (cohort B). This study excluded pts who have not been refractory or intolerant to standard chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and anti-EGFR antibody if KRAS exon 2/ RAS wild-type tumors. Results: A total of 590 pts were analyzed (cohort A; N = 236 and cohort B; N = 354). More patients received at least one of REG or FTD/TPI in cohort B (16.1% vs. 59.9%, p < 0.001). The time from initiation to end of standard chemotherapy was comparable between the two cohort (20.0 vs. 17.5 months, p = 0.266). With a median follow-up period of 34.9 months, salvage-line OS (sOS) after standard chemotherapy was significantly longer in cohort B (4.8 vs. 6.6 months, p = 0.001), while there was only a favorable trend in cohort B in terms of OS from start of first-line treatment (27.3 vs. 28.5 months, p = 0.516). In cohort B, pts who sequentially received both of REG and FTD/TPI showed longest sOS (median, both of REG and FTD/TPI; 11.3 months, either REG or FTD/TPI; 7.0 months, neither REG nor FTD/TPI; 3.1 months). Conclusions: Our study showed that REG and FTD/TPI led to prolongation of sOS in the real-world setting, indicating the importance of strategies which make all active agents available to pts with mCRC.
