Brief summary
Bevacizumab plus capecitabin is a standard maintenance treatment following first-line chemotherapy in the patients with advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, hand-foot syndrome induced by capecitabin will bother the patient to decrease the quality of life. S-1, an alternative of fluoropyrimidine, was proved non-inferior efficacy with lower hand-foot syndrome as first-line chemotherapy in advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma in the studies. The investigators are going to test the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab plus S-1 as maintenance treatment compared with bevacizumab plus capecitabin in colorectal adenocarcinoma
Interventions
S-1 is administered orally on days 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle. Patients are assigned on the basis of body surface area (BSA) to receive one of the following oral doses twice daily: 40 mg (BSA \<1.25m2), 50 mg (BSA \>1.25 to \<1.50 m2), or 60 mg (BSA \>1.50 m2).
Bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg) is administered by intravenous infusion over the course of 30 to 90 min on day 1 of each 3-week cycle.
Capecitabine 2000mg/m2/d is administered orally on days 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle.
