Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method.
From date of randomization to the death due to any cause or cut-off date, whichever comes first (maximum duration: up to 20 months)
Survival Probability at 6 Months
Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method. In this outcome measure, data of survival probability at 6 months was reported.
From date of randomization until 6 months post treatment
Survival Probability at 12 Months
Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method. In this outcome measure, data of survival probability at 12 months was reported.
From date of randomization until 12 months post treatment
Survival Probability at 18 Months
Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method. In this outcome measure, data of survival probability at 18 months was reported.
From date of randomization until 18 months post treatment
Secondary Outcomes (9)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From randomization to the date of radiological tumour progression or death due to any cause or data cut-off date whichever comes first (i.e., up to 20 months)
Probability of Participants With Progression Free Survival at 3, 6, 9 and 12 Months
From randomization until 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post treatment
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
From the date of randomization to the date of documentation of progression or death due to any cause or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (i.e., up to 20 months)
Percentage of Participants With Disease Control
From randomization to the date of first documented tumor progression, death due to any cause or data cut-off date whichever comes first (i.e., up to 20 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
From baseline (Cycle 1 Day 1) up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (i.e., up to 30.7 months)
- +4 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Trifluridine/Tipiracil + Bevacizumab
EXPERIMENTALParticipants were administered 35 milligrams per square meter per dose (mg/m²/dose) trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) orally twice a day (BID), within 1 hour after completion of morning and evening meals, 5 days on (Day 1 to 5 and Day 8 to 12) with 2 days off (Day 6 to 7 an Day 13 to 14), over 2 weeks, followed by a 14-day rest; with bevacizumab (5 milligrams per kilogram \[mg/kg\], intravenous \[IV\] infusion administered every 2 weeks (Day 1 and Day 15). This treatment cycle was repeated every 4 weeks.
Trifluridine/Tipiracil
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants were administered 35 mg/m²/dose of FTD/TPI orally BID, within 1 hour after completion of morning and evening meals, 5 days on (Day 1 to 5 and Day 8 to 12) with 2 days off (Day 6 to 7 and Day 13 to 14), over 2 weeks, followed by a 14-day rest. This treatment cycle was repeated every 4 weeks.
Interventions
Taken by mouth two times a day, 5 days on/2 days off, over 2 weeks, followed by a 14-day rest
administered every 2 weeks (Day 1 and Day 15)
