NCT04564898

Brief Summary

The aim oh this study is to determine the safety and recommended dose of trifluridine/tipiracil plus capecitabine and bevacizumab combination (part 1, dose escalation phase) and to assess its activity in previously untreated mCRC patients who are deemed not eligible for intensive chemotherapy (part 2, expansion phase).
