Study Overview
Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) of aflibercept versus placebo in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with FOLFIRI as second-line treatment for metastatic disease.
Secondary Objectives:
To compare the overall survival (OS) in the 2 treatment arms. To compare the overall response rate (ORR) in the 2 treatment arms. To assess the safety profile of the 2 treatment arms. To assess immunogenicity of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in selected centers.
Detailed Description
Screening occurred from signed informed consent to randomization (up to 21 days). A treatment cycle was defined as a 2 week-period. All participants were followed during the study treatment and follow-up period until death or study cut off date, which ever comes first.

Arms & Interventions
Placebo
Placebo for aflibercept intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each cycle (1 cycle = 2 weeks) in combination with FOLFIRI regimen until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or participant's refusal. FOLFIRI regimen: Irinotecan 180 mg/m^2 IV infusion and leucovorin 400 mg/m^2 IV infusion, 5-Fluorouracil IV bolus 400 mg/m^2 followed by continuous IV infusion 2400 mg/m^2.
Intervention: Placebo (Drug)
Aflibercept
Aflibercept 4 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 of each cycle (1 cycle = 2 weeks) in combination with FOLFIRI regimen until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or participant's refusal. FOLFIRI regimen: Irinotecan 180 mg/m^2 IV infusion and leucovorin 400 mg/m^2 IV infusion, 5-Fluorouracil IV bolus 400 mg/m^2 followed by continuous IV infusion 2400 mg/m^2.
Intervention: Aflibercept (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 26.7 months
PFS was defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of first observation of either tumor progression or death due to any cause. Tumor assessment was performed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) as per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.0. Progression was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study or absolute increase and at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. PFS was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Secondary Outcomes
- Overall Survival (OS)(31.6 months)
- Percentage of Participants With Objective Response(26.6 months)
