Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the capecitabine and oxaliplatine plus bevacizumab combination as first-line treatment in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Capecitabine, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab are well known active agents in the treatment of mCRC. The treatment of elderly patients with mCRC is an area of investigation. The role of comprehensive geriatric assessment in treatment efficacy and tolerance is an area of investigation.
