Combining TAS-102 and Bevacizumab with Local Treatment for Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Official title: A Randomized, Phase II Clinical Study of Second-line Standard Treatment Sequential TAS-102 and Bevacizumab Combined With Local Treatment in Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Run by Fudan University · NCT06856187 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new combination of medications and local treatment for patients with advanced colorectal cancer who didn't get better with their first treatment to see if it works better than the usual second-line therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with unresectable colorectal adenocarcinoma who have failed first-line therapy and have measurable lesions.

Probably not a fit

Patients with prior treatment using TAS-102 or those with significant unresolved toxicity from previous treatments may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase II clinical study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a sequential treatment approach using TAS-102 and bevacizumab combined with local treatment in patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have not responded to first-line therapy. A total of 119 patients will be randomized to receive either the new combination treatment or continue with standard second-line therapy. The primary goal is to assess the time to treatment failure, while secondary goals include overall response rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety, and patient-reported outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have limited treatment choices.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in advanced colorectal cancer, indicating potential for success.
