Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Time from randomization to disease progression, death, or last tumor assessment reported between day of first patient randomised, Feb 2007, until cut off date, 30 Jun 2009

Duration from randomization until progression or death due to any cause. Only deaths within 12 weeks of last tumor assessment are considered. Patients without event are censored on the date of last tumor assessment. Response and progression were assessed by the Investigators using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.0 criteria

Secondary Endpoints

Best Overall Response (BOR)
Evaluations were performed every 8 weeks until disease progression, reported between day of first patient randomised, Feb 2007, until cut off date, 30 Jun 2009
Overall Survival (OS)
Time from randomization to death or last known to be alive, reported between day of first patient randomised, Feb 2007, until cut off date, 30 Jun 2009
Quality of Life (QOL) Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal (FACT-C)
At baseline, at every first day of every third cycle during active - treatment, and at final tumor assessment , reported between day of first patient randomised, Feb 2007, until cut-off date, 30 Jun 2009. Cycles were 4 weeks long unless dosing delays
