Efficacy and Safety of Regorafenib in the Treatment of Bone Sarcomas
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Efficacy and safety of regorafenib in the treatment of bone sarcomas: systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Cancer . 2025 Feb 19;25(1):302.Five randomized controlled trials including 179 patients with metastatic or recurrent bone sarcomas were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing regorafenib monotherapy vs. placebo. Pooled outcomes of interest included 3- and 6-month progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) at multiple timepoints, and adverse events (AEs). Regorafenib significantly improved 3-month PFS and 6-month PFS with no improvement in OS. Adverse events were more frequent in the regorafenib group. The findings suggest regorafenib improves short-term disease control but not long-term survival, with a higher incidence of manageable side effects.
