About This Colorectal Cancer Study in Somerset

This study is to evaluate the disease control rate and time to progression of the sequential combination of oxaliplatin with an alternative anti-metabolite Trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride mixture, TAS-102,(TAS-OX) as well as irinotecan in combination with TAS-102 oxaliplatin(TAS-OX) + Bevacizumab in late-line metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)

Sponsor: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Histologically confirmed stage IV colon cancer (AJCC 7th edition) that has progressed after standard therapy that included 5-FU, irinotecan, oxaliplatin and appropriate antibody therapy. Antibody therapy with bevacizumab and an anti-EGFR antibody, if RAS wild type, should have been given unless medical reasons have precluded their use. Participants who could not tolerate standard agents because of unacceptable, but reversible toxicity necessitating their discontinuation will be allowed to participate.
Participants who had received adjuvant chemotherapy and had recurrence during or within six months of completion of the adjuvant chemotherapy will be allowed to count the adjuvant therapy as one chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease.
Progression of disease must be documented on the most recent scan.
Presence of measurable disease
RAS mutation and MMR status must be determined (or tissue availability for testing if not already determined).
Age 18 years or older.
ECOG performance status 0-1.
Life expectancy of at least three months.
Participants with adequate organ function:
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5 x 109/L
Hemoglobin \> 9 g/dL
Platelets (PLT) \> 70 x 109/L

History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to TAS-102.
Current therapy with other investigational agents or participation in another clinical study or any investigational agent received within prior four weeks.
