What was measured

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease or death. Participants with neither disease progression nor death were censored at the last date of the last tumor assessment that confirmed that their disease had not progressed. Participants with no tumor assessments after baseline who were alive at the time of clinical cutoff were censored at the date of randomization. Participants who underwent surgical resection with curative intent without prior progression were censored at the date of surgery. PFS was based on tumor assessments made by the investigators according to the RECIST criteria. Non-inferiority analysis that followed the general approach took into account all tumor assessments obtained during the primary study treatment phase, the post-study treatment phase and those obtained during the follow-up phase. Non-inferiority of the XELOX-containing arms compared with the FOLFOX-4- containing arms was investigated.

Analysis population: The eligible patient population (EPP) excluded participants from the ITT who had violated major protocol inclusion or exclusion criteria or participants who were randomized and did not receive at least one dose of capecitabine, 5-FU, oxaliplatin, or bevacizumab/placebo.

Groups in this outcome

FOLFOX-4/FOLFOX-4+P/FOLFOX-4+BV

Participants from the initial 2-arm part and the 2x2 factorial part of the study including the following groups - 1. Folfox-4: Participants who received 2-week cycles of infused leucovorin, bolus injection fluorouracil and continuous infusion fluorouracil (given on days 1 and 2), combined with intravenous oxaliplatin (given on day 1). 2. Folfox-4+P: Participants who received 2-week cycles of infused leucovorin, bolus injection fluorouracil and continuous infusion fluorouracil (given on days 1 and 2), combined with intravenous oxaliplatin and placebo control for bevacizumab (both given on day 1 every 2 weeks). 3. Folfox-4+BV: Participants who received 2-week cycles of infused leucovorin, bolus injection fluorouracil and continuous infusion fluorouracil (given on days 1 and 2), combined with intravenous oxaliplatin and intravenous bevacizumab (both given on day 1 every 2 weeks).

XELOX/XELOX+P/XELOX+BV

Participants from the initial 2-arm part and the 2x2 factorial part of the study including the following groups - 1. Xelox: Capecitabine was administered as an oral twice-daily outpatient intermittent treatment (3-week cycles consisting of 2 weeks of treatment followed by 1 week without treatment) combined with intravenous oxaliplatin (given on day 1). 2. Xelox+P: Capecitabine was administered as an oral twice-daily outpatient intermittent treatment (3-week cycles consisting of 2 weeks of treatment followed by 1 week without treatment) combined with intravenous oxaliplatin and placebo (P) control for bevacizumab (both given on day 1 every 3 weeks). 3. Xelox+BV: Capecitabine was administered as an oral twice-daily outpatient intermittent treatment (3-week cycles consisting of 2 weeks of treatment followed by 1 week without treatment) combined with intravenous oxaliplatin and intravenous bevacizumab (both given on day 1 every 3 weeks).

    Equivalence of treatment arm A ('XELOX') to treatment arm B ('FOLFOX-4') was tested via the following hypotheses - H0: HRA/B \>/= 1.23 versus H1: HRA/B \< 1.23. HRA/B denotes the hazard of disease progression or death under treatment A ('XELOX') divided by the hazard of disease progression or death under treatment B ('FOLFOX-4').

    Non-inferiority was demonstrated if the upper limit of the 2-sided 97.5% confidence interval (CI) for the hazard ratio (HR) was less than the predefined limit of 1.23 (the non-inferiority margin). A stratified Cox model was used. In order to retain an experiment-wise two-sided type I error of 5%, the non-inferiority analysis for PFS used a two-sided significance level of 2.5%.
