In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a known side effect of the treatment with fruquintinib. Current research does not provide a clear answer whether minority groups such as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a bigger risk of higher blood pressure after treatment with fruquintinib. The main aim of this study is to learn how often adults of a minority group experience hypertension after they have been treated with fruquintinib for refractory mCRC. Other aims are to learn how safe fruquintinib is and how well it is tolerated by participants. Participants will receive fruquintinib in 4-week treatment cycles until their condition worsens, they do no longer tolerate the treatment or stop the treatment for other reasons. After the last treatment, participants will be checked upon every 3 months until study completion.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provide written (or electronic) informed consent. 2. Male or female aged more than or equal to (≥)18 years. 3. Presence of histologically and/or cytologically documented metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Rat sarcoma virus (RAS) status for each participant must be documented. 4. Have been previously treated with standard approved therapies: * Fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, * An anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) biological therapy (e.g., bevacizumab, aflibercept, ramucirumab \[regorafenib is NOT an anti-VEGF biologic\]), and * If RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy (e.g., cetuximab, panitumumab). * If known microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) tumor and medically appropriate, a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitor. 5. Self-identify as Black and/or African American or Hispanic and/or Latino or as both. 6. Body weight ≥40 kilograms (kg). 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 at screening. 8. Have assessable disease according to RECIST version 1.1, assessed locally. 9. In participants of childbearing potential, agreement to use highly effective form(s) of contraception, which results in a low failure rate (less than \[\<\]1 percent \[%\] per year) when used consistently and correctly, starting during the screening period, continuing throughout the entire trial period, and for 2 weeks after taking the last dose of the trial intervention. Such methods include oral (PO) hormonal contraception (combined estrogen/progestogen or progestogen-only) associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomized partner, or true sexual abstinence in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. Those assigned male sex at birth must always use a condom. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<1.5 times 10\^9 per liter (10\^9/L), platelet count \<100 times 10\^9/L, or hemoglobin \<9.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL). Blood transfusion within 1 week prior to enrollment for the purpose of increasing the likelihood of eligibility is not allowed. 2. Serum total bilirubin more than (\>)1.5 times the upper limit of normal range (ULN). Participants with previously documented Gilbert syndrome and bilirubin \<2 times ULN are eligible. 3. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>2.5 times ULN in participants without hepatic metastases; ALT or AST \>5 times ULN in participants with hepatic metastases. 4. Creatinine clearance \<30 milliliters per minute (mL/min). Creatinine clearance can either be measured in a 24-hour urine collection or estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation. Where available and appropriate, other formulae may be used to estimate clearance after consultation with the trial medical monitor. 5. Urine dipstick or urinalysis with protein ≥2 positive or 24-hour urine protein ≥1.0 gram per 24 hours (g/24 hours). Participants with 1+ positive proteinuria must undergo a 24-hour urine collection to assess urine protein level. 6. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic BP ≥140 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) and/or diastolic blood pressure (BP) ≥90 mmHg despite optimal medical management. The participant must have BP below both limits. Repeated assessments are permitted. 7. International normalized ratio (INR) \>1.5 times ULN or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) \>1.5 times ULN, unless the participant is currently receiving or intended to receive anticoagulants for prophylactic purposes. 8. History of or active gastric/duodenal ulcer or ulcerative colitis, active hemorrhage of an unresected gastrointestinal tumor, history of perforation or fistulas, or any other condition that could, in the investigator's judgment, result in gastrointestinal hemorrhage or perforation within the 6 months prior to screening. 9. History or presence of hemorrhage from any other site (e.g, hemoptysis or hematemesis) within 2 months prior to screening. 10. History of a thromboembolic event, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or arterial embolism within 6 months prior to screening. 11. Stroke and/or transient ischemic attack within 12 months prior to screening. 12. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to, acute myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass surgery within 6 months prior to enrollment, severe or unstable angina pectoris, New York Heart Association Class III/IV congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment, or left ventricular ejection fraction \<50% by echocardiogram. 13. QT interval, corrected using the Fridericia method (QTcF) \>480 milliseconds or any factors that increase the risk of QT interval, corrected based on the patient's heart rate (QTc) prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, or family history of long QT syndrome. 14. Systemic antineoplastic therapies (except for that described in exclusion criterion no. 15) or any investigational therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of the trial intervention, including chemotherapy, radical radiotherapy, hormonotherapy, biotherapy, and immunotherapy. 15. Systemic small molecule targeted therapies (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors \[TKIs\]) within 5 half-lives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of the trial intervention. 16. Palliative radiotherapy for bone metastasis/lesion within 2 weeks prior to the initiation of the trial intervention. 17. Brachytherapy (i.e., implantation of radioactive seeds) within 60 days prior to the first dose of the trial intervention. 18. Surgery or invasive procedure (i.e., a procedure that includes a biopsy; central venous catheter placement is allowed) within 14 days prior to the first
