Oral fruquintinib combined with tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium for advanced colorectal cancer to obtain longer progression-free survival: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAfter the failure of second-line standard therapy, effective treatment options for metastatic colorectal cancer are limited, and the duration of remission cannot meet clinical needs. In addition, associated drug toxicity may lead to treatment interruption that may affect patient outcomes. Therefore, more safe, effective and convenient treatments are urgently needed. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we describe a patient with advanced colorectal cancer with multiple metastases in both lungs. Oxaliplatin combined with 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine was given as the first-line treatment, and bevacizumab combined with irinotecan was given as the second-line treatment after disease progression. However, treatment was interrupted due to recurrent grade 2 nausea and grade 1 diarrhea. He received targeted therapy with fruquintinib starting on August 26, 2020 and responded well for 12 mo. After slow progression of the lung metastases, progression-free survival was again achieved over 13.5 mo by continued treatment of fruquintinib in combination with tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium chemotherapy. Overall treatment duration was more than 25.5 mo. The treatments delayed tumor progression, reduced drug side effects, maintained a good quality of life, and further extended overall survival.
conclusionThis case report detailed preliminary evidence showing that the combination of fruquintinib with tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium chemotherapy double oral therapy may result in longer progression-free survival in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
