Summary

The purpose of this study is to purpose of this study is to assess if regorafenib is active enough, in terms of 6-month progression-free rate, to warrant further comparative studies in patients with RAS-mutant advanced colorectal cancer who have progressed after first-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab.

19. Life expectancy of greater than 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

19. Sexually active males and females (of childbearing potential) unwilling to practice contraception during the study.

20. Have any other serious or unstable illness, or medical, psychological, or social condition, that could jeopardize the safety of the subject and/or his/her compliance with study procedures, or may interfere with the subject's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results.
