Understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form; 5. Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma; 6. Measurable disease (RECIST criteria v1.1) using conventional techniques (CT scan or MRI); 7. Previous treatment including: fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan for patients with mutant KRAS (as assessed in primary tumor or metastases evaluating codon 12 and 13 mutations) or fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, cetuximab and/or panitumumab for patients with wild-type KRAS. 8. Imaging confirmed (CT/MRI) disease progression within 3 months of previous standard treatment.

Myocardial infarction less than 6 months before start of study medication. 7. Arterial or venous thrombotic or embolic events such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attacks), or pulmonary embolism within the 6 months before start of study medication; 8. Ongoing infection > grade 2 NCI-CTC version 3.0; 9. Untreated, symptomatic brain metastases (brain radiologic imaging not required); 10. Non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture; 11. Renal failure requiring hemo-or peritoneal dialysis; 12. Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient’s participation in the study or evaluation of the study results; 13.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: This trial aims to assess activity dacarbazine in terms of objective response rate (ORR) in patients with mCRC refractory to standard therapies.;Secondary Objective: Evaluation of clinical benefit (disease control rate) 2. Evaluation of progression-free survival (PFS) 3. Identification of biomarkers of response to dacarbazine based on molecular characteristics of individual tumor samples: · loss of expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) as evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and promoter hypermethylation; · KRAS status (wild type vs mutated) · population of mCRC with BRAF mutation will be also evaluated separately;Primary end point(s): ORR by RECIST criteria;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: eighteen weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: eighteen weeks more six months;Secondary end point(s): Disease control rate (ORR + Stable Disease by RECIST criteria) · PFS · Association of response/resistance with loss of expression of O6-methylguanine- DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) and KRAS or BRAF mutations | — |
