Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with FOLFIRI-aflibercept compared to initial treatment with FOLFIRI-aflibercept (for 6 cycles) followed by maintenance with 5FU-aflibercept, in an elderly population with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) after failure of an oxaliplatin-based regimen
