Table 2.

Clinical outcomes according to time of regorafenib treatment initiation (pre- or post-inclusion of the ReDOS strategy in NCCN Guidelines)

Clinical characteristic Study population
(N = 703)
Pre-inclusion of ReDOS in NCCN Guidelines
(n = 310)
Post-inclusion of ReDOS in NCCN Guidelines
(n = 393)

Dose classification at index date,

n (% [95% CI])*

 Flexible dose (< 84 tablets/28 days) 66 (21.3 [16.9, 26.3]) 178 (45.3 [40.3, 50.4])
 Standard dose (≥ 84 tablets/28 days) 244 (78.7 [73.7, 83.1]) 215 (54.7 [49.6, 59.7])

Patients reaching their third treatment cycle,

n (% [95% CI])

113 (36.5 [31.1, 42.1]) 179 (45.5 [40.5, 50.6])
Number of treatment cycles
 Mean (SD) 2.6 (2.9) 3.2 (3.1)
 Median (range) 2.0 (0.5–27.0) 2.0 (0.5–26.0)

*Each tablet contained regorafenib 40 mg; Administration of < 84 tablets/28 days indicates that the patient initiated regorafenib at a lower than standard dose (80 or 120 mg/day, or a different combination)
