What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Trifluridine/Tipiracil (TAS-102) combined with ApatinibDrug

    TAS-102: 35 mg/m2/dose, taken orally within 1 hour after breakfast and dinner, twice daily, on days 1-5 of each cycle, followed by a 9-day drug-free interval, with 28 days constituting one cycle.

    Apatinib: 500 mg/dose, once daily, administered continuously for 5 days followed by a 2-day break, with 28 days as one cycle. Imaging evaluation should be performed every 2-3 cycles until disease progression or intolerance occurs.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Duration of Response,DOR

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months.

  2. Progression-Free Survival,PFS

    Measured: From date of first dose administration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months.
