About this trial
Fruquintinib, as a standard treatment for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), has attracted increasing research efforts to explore its innovative strategies in combination with chemotherapy. Trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab is also a standard treatment for mCRC. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib combined with trifluridine/tipiracil versus bevacizumab combined with trifluridine/tipiracil in the treatment of patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer who failed standard chemotherapy.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Have a full understanding of this study and voluntarily sign the informed consent form;
Aged 18-75 years old (including 18 and 75 years old);
Diagnosed with advanced metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma by histopathological examination;
Patients who have previously received first-line oxaliplatin and irinotecan treatment, or have received and failed at least two lines of standard chemotherapy regimens. These standard treatment regimens must include fluoropyrimidine-based drugs, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (with or without bevacizumab or cetuximab). Treatment failure is defined as disease progression occurring during treatment or within 3 months after the last treatment, or intolerable toxic side effects. Each line of treatment must include one or more chemotherapy drugs administered for ≥1 cycle; if recurrence or metastasis occurs during adjuvant/neoadjuvant treatment or within 6 months after completion of adjuvant/neoadjuvant treatment, the adjuvant/neoadjuvant treatment is considered a failure of first-line chemotherapy for advanced disease;
Disqualifiers
Unable to comply with the study protocol or procedures;
Previous treatment with TAS-102 or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (e.g., anlotinib, apatinib, etc.);
Participation in other drug clinical trials within 4 weeks before enrollment;
Have received or is currently receiving other systemic anti-tumor treatments within 4 weeks prior to enrollment;

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.
Secondary outcomes
Objective response rate (ORR)
ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECISTv1.1.
Disease control rate (DCR)
DCR was defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of confirmed complete or partial response, or stable disease (CR+ PR + SD) per RECISTv1.1.
Overall survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.
Adverse Events (AE)
Adverse Events (AE) as assessed by CTCAE v5.0, including serious adverse events (SAEs)
