Panelists discuss how the SUNLIGHT trial and real-world evidence support FTD/TPI with or without bevacizumab as an effective third-line option in metastatic colorectal cancer.
Panelists examine the SUNLIGHT trial, which evaluated trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) alone vs in combination with bevacizumab. The addition of bevacizumab demonstrated enhanced outcomes, supporting its role in extending survival while maintaining tolerability.
The rationale for combining bevacizumab with FTD/TPI lies in its complementary mechanisms, offering potential synergy that translates to improved patient benefit.
They also note that real-world experiences largely align with trial data, reinforcing clinical confidence in the regimen’s effectiveness across diverse patient populations.
