Brief Summary

This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with metastatic colorectal cancer will be studied. Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a cancer of the colon (large bowel) or the rectum (lowest part of the bowel just before the anus). Cancer is considered metastatic if it spreads to other parts of the body. The study drug, regorafenib, is already approved for doctors to prescribe to people with mCRC. It is an anti-cancer drug that blocks several proteins, called enzymes, which are involved in the growth of cancer. Other approved treatments for mCRC include TAS and bevacizumab. The combination of the anti-cancer drugs trifluridine and tipiracil is called TAS. Both TAS and bevacizumab prevent cancer cells from growing and multiplying. Some studies have shown that people with mCRC who took TAS along with bevacizumab, lived longer than when TAS was taken alone. This may be especially beneficial for patients who have tried other treatments before. However, there is limited knowledge about how and in which order these drugs are given. To better understand the impact of the order of taking regorafenib and TAS, with or without bevacizumab, more knowledge is needed about how well these treatments work in people with mCRC in European countries. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of treatment in people with mCRC who have already received regorafenib and TAS, with or without bevacizumab, one after the other (also called sequential treatment) in a different order. To do this, researchers will collect the following information:

• how long participants received sequential treatment for mCRC
• number of participants receiving further treatment for mCRC after the sequential treatment
• number and type of further treatments for mCRC
• how long did participants live (also called overall survival). The data will come from the participants' information stored in health records from 4 centers in 3 European countries including France, Italy, and Spain. The data will be from people with mCRC who started sequential treatment between January 2013 and December 2022 or until the most recent date that allows researchers to assess the participants' health for at least 3 months. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests will be required as part of this study.

Study Arms (2)

TAS±BEV-R

Eligible patients who started with trifluridine/tipiracil +/- bevacizumab (TAS+/-Bev) first, followed by regorafenib (R), without other therapies in-between.

Drug: Regorafenib (Stivarga, BAY73-4506)

R-TAS±BEV

Eligible patients who started with regorafenib first, followed by TAS+/-Bev without other therapies in-between.

Drug: Regorafenib (Stivarga, BAY73-4506)

Interventions

Regorafenib (Stivarga, BAY73-4506) DRUG

Follow clinical administration.

R-TAS±BEV; TAS±BEV-R

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This is a retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥18 years at the diagnosis of mCRC in real world clinical practice who received sequential treatment with regorafenib followed by TAS (with or without Bevacizumab, R-TAS±BEV) and vice versa (TAS±BEV-R) from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022 (inclusion period), or the latest available date that allows at least 3 months of follow-up, at multiple clinical centers in France, Italy, and Spain. The study will use longitudinal patients and clinical data recorded at the centers.

You may qualify if:

• Aged ≥18 years at diagnosis of mCRC
• Histologically confirmed diagnosis of mCRC
• Have at least 6 months of available data before index date (baseline period) and at least 3 months of follow-up data

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who had a diagnosis of any other primary cancer (including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)) except non-melanoma skin cancers during baseline
• Patients involved in clinical trials during the study period
