  • *The Advisory Board determined that 20.0% of patients received 5 mg/kg Folfox and Folfiri and 80.0% received CAPOX or capecitabine.

  • †The Advisory Board determined that 20.0% of patients received a dose of 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks and 80.0% received a dose of 7.5 kg/mg every 3 weeks.

  • ‡The duration was calculated based on posology and the mean durations of all lines.
