Regonat 40mg Tablet is a high-quality product manufactured under strict quality control standards. Please consult with healthcare professional for specific information.
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) refers to the cancer that originates in the colon or rectum and has spread from these locations to other places in the body (such as the liver and/or the lung). In advanced stages, mCRC becomes resistant and does not respond to traditional chemotherapies any further. In such cases, Regonat 40mg Tablet is used to delay the growth of mCRC. Regonat 40mg Tablet blocks several different kinds of enzymes that are responsible for the growth of cancer cells as well as the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that provide blood to cancer cells, thus helping to slow down the progression of mCRC.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare types of cancers that grow in the digestive system, and most commonly grow in the stomach and/or small intestine. GISTs are typically treated with standard-of-care drugs, including imatinib and sunitinib (targeted therapies). However, many patients with GISTs develop resistance to one or both of these treatments over time. When a patient with GIST has developed resistance to either of these drugs, then Regonat 40mg Tablet can be used as second or third line therapy. Regonat 40mg Tablet works by blocking the activity of certain mutated proteins that contribute to the growth of tumors (tumor progression). As a result, it can help slow down the progression of GISTs.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer and is often related to preexisting chronic liver disease. It is generally treated using sorafenib. However, if the disease continues to grow and progress after initial therapy, alternative treatment options must be utilized to treat patients. Regonat 40mg Tablet is used in these circumstances to slow down tumor growth. It works by inhibiting different pathways that are involved in tumor progression/development, including the vascularization of the tumor. Therefore, Regonat 40mg Tablet can help improve survival rates and provide patients with another way of managing the disease state.
Regonat 40 tablet (Regorafenib) is a type of oral medication categorized under the class of multi-kinase inhibitors. It is used to treat cancers in humans by blocking the action of many different proteins (protein kinases) involved in the growth of tumor cells and the creation of new blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients for the tumor to continue growing.
Regonat 40 tablet attaches to and blocks protein kinases involved in tumor angiogenesis (the creation of new blood vessels around a tumor), specifically the 3 main types of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors (VEGF-R1, VEGF-R2, and VEGF-R3). As a result, this drug reduces the formation of new blood vessels around a tumor and thus "starves" tumor cells of the nutrients and oxygen they need to continue to grow by blocking their access to these nutrients and oxygen.
Additionally, Regonat 40 tablet can adversely affect the tumor microenvironment by inhibiting a variety of kinases responsible for establishing interactions between cancer cells and supporting stroma, including PDGF-R and FGFR. By disrupting this supportive environment, the ability of cancer cells to invade and metastasize is reduced drastically.
Overall, Regonat 40 tablet has a multi-faceted approach to treating advanced solid tumors via a combination of anti-angiogenesis, antiproliferative, and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. Unlike chemotherapy drugs, Regonat 40 tablet slows disease progression by blocking the supply of critical growth factors and inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels to support tumor growth.
Regonat 40 tablet is used in the treatment of colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and liver cancer.
