Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: treatment arm
treatment arm- subjects will receive Fruquintinib 5mg orally, QD, plus BSC for 3 wks on/ 1 wk off. Patients will receive a cycles of 4 weeks of study treatment (1 cycle of study treatment includes 3 weeks of treatment and 1 week of drug discontinuation) or until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other conditions that meet the end of treatment criteria.

Drug: fruquintinib
fruquintinib is a capsule in the form of 1mg and 5mg, orally, once daily, 3 weeks on/ 1 week off
Other Name: HMPL-013 |
Placebo Comparator: control arm
control arm- subjects will receive Fruquintinib placebo 5mg orally, QD, plus BSC for 3 wks on/ 1 wk off. Patients will receive a cycles of 4 weeks of study treatment (1 cycle of study treatment includes 3 weeks of treatment and 1 week of drug discontinuation) or until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other conditions that meet the end of treatment criteria.

- overall survival [ Time Frame: from randomization until death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 year ]every two months after end of treatment (EOT) observation period at 30 days after the last medication
- progression free survival [ Time Frame: from randomization up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year ]Tumor assessment will be performed using radiography method every 8 weeks, until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), using RECIST v 1.1
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: from randomization up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year ]Tumor assessment will be performed using radiography method every 8 weeks until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), using RECIST v 1.1
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: from randomization up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year ]Tumor assessment will be performed using radiography method every 8 weeks until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), using RECIST v 1.1
- Safety and tolerance evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of AEs [ Time Frame: from first dose to within 30 days after the last dose ]Safety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of adverse events (AEs) and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 4.0.
