Eligibility
Recruits 162 The trial flags vulnerable population selection (isVulnerablePopulationSelected: true). However, inclusion requires signed and dated informed consent by the participant and age ≥ 18 years (minors excluded). The protocol explicitly excludes persons under a legal protection regime (guardianship, curatorship, judicial safeguard) or those incapable of giving consent. Adult ICF materials are provided (subject information and informed consent forms). Assent for minors is not applicable because age ≥18 is required..
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Women must be surgically sterile or postmenopausal, or not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive during the study. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours (3 days) prior to starting trifluridine/tipiracil treatment. WOCBP must agree to use an adequate method of contraception or birth control for the duration of study treatment and least 6 months (trifluridine/tipiracil, bevacizumab) after the last dose of the study treatment,

Such medicinal products, if used concomitantly with trifluridine/tipiracil, may compete with the effector, trifluridine, for activation via thymidine kinases. Therefore, when using antiviral medicinal products that are human thymidine kinase substrates, monitor for possible decreased efficacy of the antiviral medicinal product, and consider switching to an alternative antiviral medicinal product that is not a human thymidine kinase substrate, such as lamivudine, didanosine, and abacavir. NB: It is unknown whether trifluridine/tipiracil may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.
