    Journal, HEOR:  Economic evaluation of trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in Greece. (Pubmed Central) -  May 7, 2020   
    In real-world settings, trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab prolonged PFS and helped achieve higher 16-week PFS rate compared with trifluridine/tipiracil monotherapy in patients with heavily pretreated mCRC with manageable toxicities. The results indicate that FTD/TPI may represent a cost-effective treatment option compared with other alternative therapies as a third-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in Greece.

    [VIRTUAL] Meta-analysis and systematic review of the cardiotoxicity of TAS-102. () -  Apr 29, 2020 - Abstract #ASCO2020ASCO_3879;    
    Since fluoropyrimidines remain the backbone of treatment for gastrointestinal malignancies, TAS-102 can offer an alternative to patients who developed cardiotoxicities from other agents. Prospective studies with consideration of cardiac risk factors are required.

    When sequencing these agents, physicians should consider patient characteristics, including comorbidities, prior adverse reactions to treatments, and overall performance status. Ongoing studies are further defining the role of regorafenib and trifluridine/tipiracil in the treatment of mCRC.

    Journal:  Regorafenib Is Associated With Increased Skeletal Muscle Loss Compared to TAS-102 in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 4, 2020   
    The frequency of sarcopenia increases during the course of mCRC and negatively affects survival. In contrast to TAS-102, regorafenib is associated with increased skeletal muscle loss during mCRC treatment and should therefore be used with caution in mCRC patients with preexisting sarcopenia or a history of recent weight loss.

    P2,  N=47, Recruiting, 
    Results suggest reconsidering TAS-102 in patients with ECOG > 0, something that should be investigated in prospective randomized clinical trials. Initiation date: Sep 2019 --> Dec 2019
