Title: A Multinational, Randomized, Double-blind Study, Comparing the Efficacy of Aflibercept Once Every 2 Weeks Versus Placebo in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (MCRC) Treated With Irinotecan / 5-FU Combination (FOLFIRI) After Failure of an Oxaliplatin Based Regimen
Brief Summary: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aflibercept (versus placebo) in increasing the overall survival in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin) and that have previously failed an oxaliplatin based treatment for metastatic disease.

The secondary objectives were to compare progression-free survival, to evaluate overall response rate, to evaluate the safety profile, to assess immunogenicity of intravenous (IV) aflibercept, and to assess pharmacokinetics of IV aflibercept in both treatment arms.


Options:
A: Participants who met the following main selection criteria were included in the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histologically or cytologically proven adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum
* Metastatic disease that is not amenable to potentially curative treatment
* One and only one prior line of treatment for metastatic disease. This prior line should be an oxaliplatin based chemotherapy (participants who relapse within 6 months of completion of oxaliplatin based adjuvant chemotherapy are eligible)
* Prior treatment with bevacizumab is permitted.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior therapy with irinotecan
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status \>2

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to participation in a clinical trial.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Adequate renal function (serum creatinine, less than 125 micromol per liter)
* Adequate liver function (bilirubin, not more than 5 times the upper limit of normal)
* No previous chemotherapy other than previous adjuvant chemotherapy or concomitant chemoradiotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin for the treatment of the primary tumor completed at least 6 months before inclusion

D: Inclusion Criteria:
