Renal and liver function parameters included: creatinine, hyperbilirubinemia, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase. Number of participants with each of these parameters were analyzed by grades (All Grades and Grades 3-4) as per NCI CTCAE version 4.03, where Grade 1=mild, Grade 2= moderate, Grade 3= severe, Grade 4= life-threatening/disabling. All Grades included Grades 1-4.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Baseline up to 30 days after the last treatment administration (either Aflibercept or FOLFIRI whichever comes last) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

Any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational medicinal product (IMP) was considered an adverse event (AE) without regard to possibility of causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE (SAE): Any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. Any TEAE included participants with both serious and non-serious AEs. National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03 was used to assess severity (Grade 1=mild, Grade 2= moderate, Grade 3= severe, Grade 4= life-threatening/disabling) of AEs.

All Grades included Grades 1-4.

Number of Participants With International Normalized Ratio (INR)Baseline up to 30 days after the last treatment administration (either Aflibercept or FOLFIRI whichever comes last) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

The INR is a derived measure of the prothrombin time. The INR is the ratio of a participant's prothrombin time to a normal control sample. Normal range (without anti coagulation therapy): 0.8-1.2; Targeted range (with anti coagulation therapy) 2.0-3.0.

Number of Participants With Abnormal Electrolytes ParametersBaseline up to 30 days after the last treatment administration (either Aflibercept or FOLFIRI whichever comes last) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

Abnormal electrolytes parameters included: hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, and hyperkalemia. Number of participants with each of these parameters were analyzed by grades ( All Grades and Grades 3-4 as per NCI CTCAE Version 4.03, where Grade 1=mild, Grade 2= moderate, Grade 3= severe, Grade 4= life-threatening/disabling. All Grades included Grades 1-4.

Creatinine Clearance of Aflibercept Plus FOLFIRIBaseline up to 30 days after the last treatment administration (either Aflibercept or FOLFIRI whichever comes last) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

Creatinine clearance is a measure of kidney function. Creatinine clearance rate is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine by the kidneys per unit time. Creatinine clearance can be measured directly or estimated using established formulas. For this study, the creatinine clearance was calculated using the Cockroft-Gault or Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD).

Number of Participants With Other Abnormal Biochemistry ParametersBaseline up to 30 days after the last treatment administration (either Aflibercept or FOLFIRI whichever comes last) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

Other abnormal biochemistry parameters included: hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and hypoalbuminemia. Number of participants with each of these parameters were analyzed by grades (All Grades and Grades 3-4) as per NCI CTCAE Version 4.03, where Grade 1= mild, Grade 2= moderate, Grade 3= severe, Grade 4= life-threatening/disabling. All Grades included Grades 1-4.

Number of Participants With Cycle Delay and/or Dose ModificationBaseline up to 30 days after the last treatment administration (either Aflibercept or FOLFIRI whichever comes last) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

A theoretical cycle is a 2 week period i.e. 14 days. A cycle is delayed if duration of previous cycle is greater than 14+2 days ; dose modification includes dose reduction and dose omission.

Number of Participants With Abnormal Non-Gradable Biochemistry ParametersBaseline up to 30 days after the last treatment administration (either Aflibercept or FOLFIRI whichever comes last) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

Change From Baseline in HRQL EQ-5D-3L VAS ScorePre-dose at Baseline, Day 1 of every odd cycle (from Cycle 3 to 35); at EOT (within 30 days of last treatment) (maximum exposure: 214 weeks)

EQ-5D was a standardized HRQL questionnaire consisting of EQ-5D descriptive system and VAS. EQ-5D descriptive system comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression measured on 3 levels (no problem, some problems \& severe problems) within a particular EQ-5D dimension. 5 dimensional 3-level system was converted into single index utility score. The VAS recorded the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale. The VAS 'thermometer' has endpoints of 100 (Best imaginable health state) at the top and 0 (Worst imaginable health state) at the bottom. This information can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome as judged by the individual respondents.
