Augment your knowledge of the latest evidence and guideline
recommendations for sequential TKI approaches in mCRC
Enhance your skills for formulating individualized, sequential
treatment plans that consider the latest clinical evidence and
patient-specific factors
Equip you with strategies to address practical aspects of care
with TKls, including managing TRAEs, dosing considerations,
and shared decision-making with patients
Why Are We Here?
Exploring Unmet Needs in Advanced/Metastatic CRC
- Only 74% of mCRC patients receive second-line treatment,
only 63% receive third-line treatment, and only 45.9% receive
After First-Line fourth-line treatment!
Treatment - Recycling of chemotherapy and biologics in the second- and
subsequent-line settings is common and occurs more frequently than
switching to a drug regimen with an alternative mechanism of action?
- The expectations in later-line treatment focus on patient preference,
Management tolerability, and QOL?
in nes - Various dosing regimens have been used to reduce AEs and improve
of Treatment QOL, but efficacy benefits have not been demonstrated with these
dosing modifications*

| Effective therapy is available for later-line management of mCRC |
+ Agents such as regorafenib, fruquintinib, and TAS-102 + bevacizumab
are among the validated options for later-line CRC management
+ Patient choice, tolerability, and QOL are important factors to consider
when developing treatment goals for later-line care
+ Oncologists, nurses, and other team members should be aware of the
evidence-based dosing strategies for these agents, which can aid in
delivering effective care, helping patients stay on treatment, and
