Metastatic Colorectal Cancer | Drug: TAS-102 Drug: Bevacizumab | Phase 2 |
Study Drug:
TAS-102 (trifluridine and tipiracil hydrocholoride) and bevacizumab
Dosing Details:
Starting dose of TAS-102 is 35 mg/m2 administered orally twice daily, after meals, for 5 days a week with 2 days rest for 14 days, followed by 14 days rest (1 treatment cycle).
Bevacizumab 5 mg/kg intravenously every 14 days. The treatment cycle repeats every 28 days. Patients may take TAS-102 plus bevacizumab until they exhibit progression of disease, withdraw consent, or experience unacceptable toxicity.This is a single arm study. All patients receive the same study treatment.
