Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: Study Part 1: To determine the recommended dose for the aflibercept, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX) combination to be used in the Part 2 of the study
Study Part 2: To assess the percentage of patients without progression of the disease at 6 months after the start of maintenance therapy with aflibercept single-agent, following the first-line induction therapy with XELOX and aflibercept combination in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer

Secondary Objective: Study Part 2: Include the evaluation of progression free survial, overall survival, response to treatment, the overall safety (during induction and maintenance therapy) and the assessment of aflibercept pharmacodynamics and biomarkers parameters.

Primary end point(s): Study Part 1: treatment related Dose Limiting Toxicity(ies) (DLTs) observed at first cycle
Study Part 2: proportion of patients alive without progression at 6 months after the start of the maintenance therapy

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Study Part 1: at the end of the first cycle of treatment up to the end of dose-escalation study Part 1
Study Part 2: 6 months after the start of the maintenance therapy

Secondary Outcome(s)

Secondary end point(s): a) Study Part 1: number of patients reporting adverse events or laboratory abnormalities per each dose level tested
b) Study Part 1: Tumor response category: Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), No Change (NC) or Progressive Disease (PD)
c) Study Part 2: Progression free survival
d) Study Part 2: Overall survival
e) Study Part 2: Proportion of patients reaching a total metastases resection (if applicable)
f) Study Part 2: Proportion of patients with complete or partial response as defined in RECIST 1.1 criteria
g) Study Part 2: Number of patients reporting adverse events or laboratory abnormalities as per NCI-CTCAE 4.03 criteria
h) Study Part 2: Aflibercept pharmacodynamic parameters evaluation
i) Study Part 2: Aflibercept biomarkers evaluation

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: a) Every cycle up to 30 days after the last treatment administration, study period
b) Every 9 weeks up to disease progressio
c) Study period, approximately 2.5 years
d) Study period, approximately 2.5 years
e) Up to 12 months after the end of study enrollment
f) Up to 12 months after the end of study enrollment
