Study description
The study drug is called S95005 (trifluridine + tipiracil). It is approved to treat patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body when standard treatments are no longer effective. Colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body is called metastatic colorectal cancer.
In this study, the medicine S95005 is combined with another marketed drug called bevacizumab.
Capecitabine with bevacizumab is a treatment recommended in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer.
- S95005 is a drug that blocks the growth of cancer cells.
- Bevacizumab is a drug that blocks the blood vessels that provide blood to the tumor. It slows the growth of the tumor.
- Capecitabine is a drug that also blocks the growth of cancer cells.
This study is called a Phase 2 study. The main objective of the TASCO1 study was to explore the effect of the combination of S95005 with bevacizumab. Another combination (capecitabine with bevacizumab) served as reference.
- Trifluridine/tipiracil + bevacizumab
- Capecitabine + bevacizumab
