A Randomized Phase III Study of Irinotecan Plus 5-fluorouracil Plus Leucovorin and Bevacizumab (FOLFIRI+Avastin) Versus Irinotecan Plus Capecitabine and Bevacizumab (XELIRI+Avastin) as 1st Line Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
There is no data of comparison for Folfiri and Xeliri regimens. The reported data
demonstrated that the addition of Avastin in the combination of irinotecan/bolus 5-FU/LV has
significant improvement of overall survival. Further analysis of these results showed that
patients receiving irinotecan in combination with Avastin, as 1st line treatment and
oxaliplatin with Avastin, as second line treatment, have median overall survival 25, 1
months, which is the longest survival that has been reported.
