Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: To confirm clinical benefit for treatment through an evaluation of Overall survival (OS), Overall response rate (ORR), Disease control rate (DCR), Duration of response (DoR), Time to treatment failure (TTF) and to compare the safety and the impact on quality of life of S 95005 in combination with bevacizumab to capecitabine in combination with bevacizumab in first-line treatment of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who are not candidate for intensive therapy.

Main Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of S 95005 in combination with bevacizumab over capecitabine in combination with bevacizumab in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) based on Investigator assessment in first-line treatment of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who are not candidate for intensive therapy.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Tumour assessments at baseline, every 8 weeks from C1D1 until radiological progression is documented and at the withdrawal visit if not done in the previous 8 weeks.
­

Primary end point(s): Progression-free survival (PFS) based on investigator judgement

Secondary Outcome(s)

Secondary end point(s): ­- Overall survival (OS)
- Overall response rate (ORR)
­- Disease control rate (DCR)
- ­Duration of response (DoR)
- ­Time to treatment failure (TTF)
- ­Safety and tolerability assessed by incidence of adverse events (AE), laboratory tests, physical examination and performance status (ECOG), vital signs, 12-leads ECG parameters
- Quality of life (QoL)

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - ORR, DCR, DoR, TTF: at baseline, every 8 weeks from C1D1 until radiological progression, and at withdrawal visit if not done in the previous 8 weeks.
- OS: survival status obtained at 8 week intervals until patient death or end of the study.
- AE: all over the study
­- Laboratory tests, physical examination, ECOG, vital signs:
Within 4 days prior to randomisation,
At pre-dose of C1D1,
At C1D15 (not for coagulation, physical examination and ECOG),
Beginning with cycle 2, prior to start of study treatment in every cycle,
Only for haematology and vital signs: At CxD15 (experimental arm only) prior to bevacizumab injection,
Withdrawal visit.
- ECG: ­within 28 days prior to randomisation and at withdrawal visit.
- QoL: at baseline, every 6 weeks and at withdrawal visit.
