Authors' recommendations:
Description of Technology: This report focuses on the use of the trifluridine (TFD) and tipiracil hydrochloride (TPI) combination (Lonsurf; previously called TAS-102) for the treatment of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). TFD is an antineoplastic thymidine-based nucleoside analog that acts as a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor, and TPI is a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor. The combination agent is administered orally.
Patient Population: TFD-TPI is used to treat adult patients with metastatic CRC who have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) biological therapy, and, if RAS (KRAS, HRAS, NRAS) wild-type, an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy.
