Third-Line Treatment Options for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Panelists discuss their preferred treatment options for patients in the third-line setting of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), focusing on regorafenib, trifluridine-tipiracil plus bevacizumab, and fruquintinib, and share insights on how patient and disease-specific factors influence the selection of the most appropriate regimen for each clinical scenario.

Panelists discuss how “refractory” metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is defined in the third- vs fourth-line setting, and the treatment goals in the third-line setting, focusing on optimizing patient outcomes and managing progression after prior therapies.

Panelists discuss how patient preferences and lifestyle factors are considered when selecting between treatment options for third-line metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and speak about their approaches to shared decision-making and optimal sequencing of therapies based on clinical context and patient needs.

Panelists discuss their perspectives on the SUNLIGHT trial and how its active-arm comparator design, compared with placebo-controlled trials like FRESCO-2 and CORRECT, influences their treatment approach, while also exploring how specific efficacy outcomes impact their decision-making in third-line metastatic colorectal cancer.
