NCT02967289

Brief Summary

The trial is a phase III, multicenter, open-labeled randomized trial comparing the association of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), folinic acid, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) versus oxaliplatin, folinic acid, and 5-FU (mFOLFOX 6) chemotherapy protocols in patients with high-risk stage III colon cancer in the adjuvant setting.

Masking Details
The primary end-point is the Disease Free Survival (DFS) at 3 years, defined as the time from the date of randomization up to the date of: * first local, regional or distant relapse; * second colorectal cancer; * death from any cause included treatment-related death. Other primary cancer (except second primary colorectal) will be ignored. Second primary cancer will be recorded to have the opportunity of evaluating other definition of DFS.
