QoL Substudy GA2
The INTEGRATE trials evaluated regorafenib in advanced gastric and esophagogastric junction cancer (AGOC), a poor prognosis population. In INTEGRATE 1 (I1, phase 2), regorafenib improved progression-free survival (PFS) without a clear excess decline in health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
