“…However, antiangiogenic agents primarily targeting VEGF have disappointingly failed to demonstrate meaningful clinical activity in R/MSCCHN and can be associated with a risk of significant toxicity. Single‐agent phase 2 trials of oral multikinase VEGF receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors in R/MSCCHN have demonstrated low‐to‐modest antitumor activity (sorafenib: objective response rate [RR], 3.7%; disease control rate [DCR], 37%; sunitinib: RR, 2.6%; DCR, 50%; axitinib: RR, 0%; DCR, 77%; and no significant improvement in progression‐free survival [PFS]).…”
