ValproIc Acid to Potentiate Anti-EGFR Treatment Efficacy and Prevent/Revert Resistance in Colorectal Cancer

The investigators hypothesize that the epigenetic agent valproic acid improve the activity of anti-EGFR agents, prevent and revert the emergence of EGFR resistance, in a rechallenge setting. Correlative mechanistic studies on tissue and blood samples, liquid biopsies, could identify potential biomarkers of efficacy and help understanding the evolutionary dynamics of tumors in response to therapy thus optimizing the treatment approach with a personalized anti- EGFR treatment strategy.
