Abstract
Regorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor which targets tumor angiogenesis, the tumor microenvironment and oncogenesis. Based on this mode of action, regorafenib has a broad spectrum of toxicities. However, at present, few reports have focused on autoimmune adverse events. We report a first case of regorafenib-induced exacerbation of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura in remission during treatment for the patients with heavily treated advanced colorectal cancer. This case report highlights the need for caution with regard to regorafenib treatment in patients with cancer with concomitant immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
