Statistical analysis • Sample Size: 470 patients; 235 per arm • Non-inferiority design • Assuming 10 months as median PFS • Non-inferiority limit of 7.6 m (HR=1.32) • Alpha error = 0.025, one side • Power = 80% • Randomization 1:1 • Efficacy analysis populations: • ITT population: All randomized patients • Safety population: All patients with, at least, one dose of treatment • Statistical Analysis: • Kaplan-Meier curves • Cox model hazard ratio (if proportional assumptions are met)
Study Objectives • Primary endpoint • Progression free survival* (PFS) • Secondary endpoints • Overall survival (OS) • Objective tumor response by RECIST • Time to response (TTR) • Response duration • Number of treatment cycles • Safety * Time from randomization to progression or death
Inclusion Criteria • Age ≥ 18 years • Histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma • Measurable disease (RECIST) • ECOG ≤ 2 • No previous exposure to bevacizumab • No previous chemotherapy for metastatic or advanced colorectal cancer • No adjuvant chemotherapy within 6 months before randomization • No clinically significant cardiovascular disease
Treatment • XELOX-BEV • Bevacizumab (BEV): 7.5 mg/kg, iv, d1 q3wk • Oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m2, iv, d1 q3wk • Capecitabine: 1000 mg/m2 oral bid, d1-14 q3wk • Administered until progression of disease, severe toxicity or consent withdrawal • s/a BEV • 6 cycles XELOX-BEV q3wk • BEV 7.5 mg/kg, iv, d1 q3wk until progression of disease, severe toxicity or consent withdrawal

Conclusions • This data indicate that a priori specified non-inferiority cannot be still confirmed, but we can reliably exclude a detriment of larger than 3 weeks in PFS. • This study suggests that maintenance therapy with single agent BEV may be an appropriate option following induction XELOX-BEV in pts with mCRC. • Further studies evaluating single agent BEV after standard chemotherapy in mCRC are warranted.
