Study description
This study was done to test a medicine called S95005 or TAS-102 in patients with colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is a cancer of parts of the large intestine. It is also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer or rectal cancer.
The study drug (S95005) is a combination of two drugs: trifluridine and tipiracil. It is a drug that blocks cancer cells from multiplying. This drug is already used to treat patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body when standard treatments are no longer effective.
A previous study called RECOURSE showed the efficacy of S95005 in Japanese, American and European populations but did not include a Russian population.
The main goal of the study was to see how effective is S95005 in the Russian patients with colorectal cancer who did not respond to or could not tolerate the standard treatments.
