Irinotecan with trifluridine/tipiracil and bevacizumab for second-line metastatic colorectal cancer: a phase II multicenter study.
Trial report in Signal transduction and targeted therapy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06202001 (Phase I/II Study of Irinotecan Plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) face a constrained therapeutic landscape following the failure of initial treatment. This multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial (NCT06202001) aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel second-line regimen comprising trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102), irinotecan, and bevacizumab. Patients with mCRC resistant to prior fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy were enrolled. Based on a preceding phase I trial, patients received biweekly cycles of oral TAS-102 (30 mg/m² twice daily, days 1-5), intravenous irinotecan (150 mg/m²), and intravenous bevacizumab (5 mg/kg). The primary outcome measure was the objective response rate (ORR). From October 2023 to August 2024, 60 patients were enrolled. As of December 2024, the ORR was 18.3% (2 complete and 9 partial responses), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 83.3%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.6 months (95% CI, 4.39-8.81), and the median overall survival (OS) was 17.3 months (95% CI, 13.55-21.05). Subgroup analyses indicated that prior resection of the primary tumor was associated with significantly longer median OS (21.9 vs. 16.2 months; p = 0.048) and PFS (8.9 vs. 5.2 months; p = 0.004). The most frequently reported treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were nausea (100%), neutropenia (86.7%), and anemia (83.3%). The predominant grade 3/4 TRAEs included neutropenia (48.3%), febrile neutropenia (8.3%), and diarrhea (6.7%). In conclusion, the combination of irinotecan, TAS-102, and bevacizumab shows encouraging efficacy and a manageable safety profile as a second-line therapy for mCRC, meriting further investigation.
