Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Up to 24 months

Time elapsed between the randomization and the date of radiological tumour progression (according to RECIST 1.1) or death from any cause.

Incidence of Adverse Events [safety and tolerability]
Through 28 days following last administration of study medication
Abnormalities in laboratory assessment
Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Abnormalities in performance status (ECOG)
Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Abnormalities in vital signs
Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks
The occurrence of at least one grade 3-4 neutropenia
From randomization up to 14 days after the end of treatment

The occurrence of 3-4 neutropenia in mCRC patients undergoing treatment with the combination of bevacizumab and bi-weekly administration of trifluridine/tipiracil (experimental arm) compared to a conventional administration (control arm).

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Baseline and every 8 weeks (maximum follow-up duration: 17.9 months)

The progression free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the date of randomisation until the date of the investigator-assessed radiological disease progression or death due to any cause according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Progressive disease (PD) was defined at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the smallest sum on study) and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm in the sum of lesions or the appearance of new lesions.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of S95005 when given in combination with oxaliplatin
up to 4 weeks after the first treatment administration
Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of S95005 when given in combination with oxaliplatin
up to 4 weeks after the first treatment administration
Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability for S95005-oxaliplatin.
through study completion, an average of 9 months

Adverse event reporting will be graded following the National Cancer Institute of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03

Changes in standard hematology as a measure of safety and tolerability for S95005-oxaliplatin
through study completion, an average of 9 months
Changes in biochemistry as a measure of safety and tolerability for S95005-oxaliplatin
through study completion, an average of 9 months
Changes in coagulation as a measure of safety and tolerability for S95005-oxaliplatin
through study completion, an average of 9 months
Changes in urinalysis as a measure of safety and tolerability for S95005-oxaliplatin
through study completion, an average of 9 months
Changes in vital signs as a measure of safety for S95005-oxaliplatin
through study completion, an average of 9 months

Vital sign measurements will include temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate.

Changes in ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status as a measure of safety and tolerability for S95005-oxaliplatin
through study completion, an average of 9 months
Secondary Endpoints
