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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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;
