Study design details

Main study objective

To describe the long term safety & clinical outcomes of ZALTRAP® in combination with FOLFIRI in patients treated in daily practice for a mCRC after failure of an oxaliplatin-based regimen.
To assess safety of ZALTRAP® in the following cohorts: Elderly patients (?65 years old); Patients with renal or hepatic impairment; Non Caucasian; Number and type of prior anti cancer-therapy.

Outcomes

Safety: TEAEs

Efficacy: OS, physician assessed PFS and RR, Effectiveness in the following cohorts:
• Elderly (≥65 years),
• Hepatic or renal impairment patients,
• Non Caucasian,
• Number and type of prior anti-cancer therapy (e.g. prior bevacizumab)

Health Resource Utilization

Data analysis plan

All statistical analyses will be descriptive. Safety endpoints will be summarized as count and frequencies with 95% confidence interval. Best Overall Response will be summarized as count of patients and frequencies with 95% CI. For the PFS and OS outcomes, the Kaplan-Meier estimates will be computed and the 95% confidence interval for the median survival times / survival rates at given time points will be provided. Subgroups analyses will be performed in following patients cohorts: elderly, hepatic or renal impairment, non-Caucasian and number & type of prior anti-cancer therapy.
