Inclusion criteria

Patients with histologically proven metastatic colorectal cancer in progression after a first line of chemotherapy +/- targeted therapy
Patients must have been treated for their metastatic disease with one of the following regimens as first-line therapy:
- FOLFOX (Oxaliplatine, 5-Fluoro-uracil)
- FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluoro-uracil)
- FOLFIRINOX (Irinotecan, oxaplipatin, 5-Fluoro-uracil) or FOLFOXIRI (irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-Fluoro-uracil)
- FOLFOX and anti-VEGFA (bevacizumab only)
- FOLFIRI and anti-VEGFA (bevacizumab only)
- FOLFIRINOX or FOLFOXIRI and anti-VEGFA (bevacizumab only)
- FOLFOX and anti-EGFR (Epiderman Growth Factor Recepto)
- FOLFIRI and anti-EGFR
- FOLFIRINOX or FOLFOXIRI and anti-EGFR
Of note, a chemotherapy prescribed for metastases occurring within six months after the end of an adjuvant chemotherapy are considered as a second line of therapy.
Patients should have a history of resistance to first line chemotherapy defined by:
- Disease progression during the first line of their metastatic disease, less than 3 months after the last exposition to chemotherapy (even a chemotherapy regimen mentioned above or a 5-Fluoro-uracil-based maintenance therapy).
- Disease relapse within 6 months after the end of an adjuvant FOLFOX based chemotherapy.
- Disease relapse within 6 months after the surgical resection of metastases following a first line of chemotherapy.
Life expectancy of at least 3 months
Female or male with age ≥18 years old
Performance status Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group World Health Organization (ECOG-WHO) ≤1 (Appendix 1),

Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal functions.
- Haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L; platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L
- Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper normal value (ULN), serum alkaline phosphatase < 5 times ULN, aminotransferases (AST/ALT) ≤ 3 × ULN in absence of hepatic metastasis or ≤ 5 if presence of hepatic lesions
