Overview
Gefitinib + raltitrexed is a combination of two small molecule anticancer drugs used in clinical research for the treatment of advanced or refractory colorectal cancer. Gefitinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks EGFR signaling pathways involved in tumor cell proliferation and survival. Raltitrexed is a thymidylate synthase inhibitor and folic acid antagonist that disrupts DNA synthesis by inhibiting the production of thymidine triphosphate. The combination has been studied as second-line chemotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer who have progressed after first-line therapy. Clinical trials indicate the regimen is generally well tolerated but does not significantly improve progression-free survival compared to raltitrexed alone[3][4].
