Prospective cohort of patients treated with trifluridine/tipiracil, maximal sample size 250 patients. It is expected, that 89 patients will experience a grade 3-4 neutropenia and will be included in the phase II.
Trifluridine/tipiracil has demonstrated its efficacy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) resistant to standard drugs (fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab, and panitumumab or cetuximab in case of RAS wild-type tumors). This treatment has a marketing authorization. Neutropenia is a classic complication of cytotoxic treatments. Febrile neutropenia are associated with a mortality rate of 9.5% and a hospitalization of 6 days in median. Recent meta-analyses have reported that the use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (GCSF) allows to maintain the dose-intensity of cytotoxic treatment and was associated with a better overall survival (OS). There is currently no clear recommendation for the use of G-CSF with trifluridine/tipiracil. Unpublished analyses that various clinical parameters may be associated with the risk of neutropenia: age ≥ 65 years, female sex, level of leukocytes at baseline, and time of initial diagnostic to randomization ≥ 36 months.These data are too preliminary to allow proposing a G-CSF primary prophylaxis in a defined subgroup of patients. However, a secondary prophylaxis based on the administration of G-CSF seems efficient, with a prescription from day 14 to day 18. The aim of this phase II study is to assess the efficacy of the secondary prophylaxis with G-CSF in case of first episode of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the aim to maintain the optimal dose intensity.

Rate of patients free of trifluridine/tipiracil dose reduction or postponement of cycles of > 7 days at 6 months or at progression or death or stop of treatment for another cause than neutropenia if observed in 6 months.
To assess, in mCRC patients treated with trifluridine/tipiracil after the introduction of G-CSF in a secondary prevention attempt, the rate of patients free of trifluridine/tipiracil dose reduction or postponement of cycles of \> 7 days at 6 months from G-CSF first intake date or at progression or death or stop of treatment for another cause than neutropenia if observed in the 6 months.
Time frame: At 6 months
Overall survival (OS)
OS - defined as the time from study enrollment to death (from any cause) or to the last date the patients was known to be alive
Time frame: Up to 30 months
Progression free survival (PFS)
PFS - defined as the time (in months) from study enrollment until objective PD or death from any cause. If the patient dies before reaching PD, the date of death is considered as the date that PD was reached. For patients that had not reached PD at the time of the analysis, and for patients for whom the PD date is unknown, PFS is censored at the date of patient's final assessment prior to data cut-off.
Time frame: Up to 30 months
Objective response rate (ORR)
ORR - defined as proportion of patients with reduction in tumor burden of predefined amount. It refers to the number of patients with CR, PR according to RECIST v1.1
Time frame: Up to 30 months
Disease control rate (DCR)
The disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the proportion of patients in whom the best overall response is determined as complete response, partial response or stable disease
Time frame: Up to 30 months
