Abstract
This study explored the efficacy of fruquintinib monotherapy versus fruquintinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of advanced proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite stable-type colorectal cancer. We retrospectively collected data from patients (n=75) diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer at our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 who chose to receive fruquintinib monotherapy or combine it with immune checkpoint inhibitors for treatment. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). As of July 1, 2023, the median PFS for the fruquintinib monotherapy group and combination therapy was 3.9 months and 7.9 months , respectively (P = 0.142). The median OS in the monotherapy group and combination therapy was 10.3 months and 10.0 months, respectively (P = 0.942). However, as compared with the monotherapy group, the combination therapy group showed a trend for a prolonged duration of PFS, and it may have good application potential.

The Journal of Chemotherapy is an international multidisciplinary journal committed to the rapid publication of high quality, peer-reviewed, original research on all aspects of antimicrobial and antitumor chemotherapy.
The Journal publishes original experimental and clinical research articles, state-of-the-art reviews, brief communications and letters on all aspects of chemotherapy, providing coverage of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, as well as the use of anticancer and immunomodulating drugs.
Specific areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
· Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiprotozoal agents;
· Anticancer classical and targeted chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, hormonal drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cell therapy and gene therapy;
· Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antimicrobial and anticancer agents;
· The efficacy, safety and toxicology profiles of antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Drug interactions in single or combined applications;
· Drug resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Research and development of novel antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, including preclinical, translational and clinical research;
· Biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance for antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics;
· Precision medicine in infectious disease therapy and in cancer therapy;
· Pharmacoeconomics of antimicrobial and anticancer therapies and the implications to patients, health services, and the pharmaceutical industry.
