Description
Ragonat 40 mg contains Regorafenib, an oral targeted therapy that inhibits several protein kinases involved in tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and the tumor microenvironment. It is typically prescribed for patients who have progressed after standard treatments.
🔬 Mechanism of Action
Regorafenib blocks multiple kinases including VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, KIT, RET, and RAF kinases. As a result, it:
- Inhibits tumor blood vessel formation (anti-angiogenic effect)
- Suppresses tumor cell growth
- Interferes with oncogenic signaling pathways
- This broad-spectrum activity makes it effective in previously treated advanced cancers.
💊 Indications
Ragonat 40 mg is indicated for:
- Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) after prior therapies
- Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) after failure of imatinib and sunitinib
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) previously treated with sorafenib

⚕️ Benefits of Regorafenib
- Targeted therapy for advanced cancers
