Study to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with FOLFIRI-aflibercept compared to initial treatment with FOLFIRI-aflibercept (for 6 cycles) followed by maintenance with 5FU-aflibercept, in an elderly population with metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of an oxaliplatin-based regimen

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the non inferiority of aflibercept + 5FU/LV as maintenance vs aflibercept + FOLFIRI with progression free survival (PFS) as the primary outcome parameter in elderly patients (=70 years).;Secondary Objective: 1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) (based on the RECIST criteria), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Depth of response (DpR), Time to progression (TP), Time to treatment failure (TTF) and Overall survival (OS) 2. Safety and tolerability 3. VES-13 score (Vulnerable Elders Survey) as the utility measure for health deterioration;Primary end point(s): Progression-free survival;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Date of the frist disease progression radiologically observed or death (even than occurred first)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Efficacy: 1.a. Objective response rate based on the RECIST criteria 1.b. Disease control rate 1.c. Depth of response 1.d. Time to progression 1.e. Time to treatment failure 1.f. Overall survival 2. Safety: 2.a. Incidence and severity of AEs CTCAE v4.03 criteria. 2.b. Incidence of dose adjustments and compliance 3. Health deterioration;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Objective response rate, Disease control rate, Depth of response, Incidence and severity of AEs, Incidence of dose adjustments and compliance, Health deterioration: during the study treatment period Time to progression: date of the first disease progression. Time to treatment failure: date od decision to finish study treatment or date of the last disease evaluation for patient who stay on treatment at the end of study Overall survival: date of death for any reason or last contact date with patient at the end of the study
