Phase II randomized trial to assess the effect of intensive vs standard adjuvant chemotherapy in localised colon cancer with circulating tumor DNA
EU CTIS ID: 2024-518131-11-02
What this study is testing
Phase IIa: To analyse the potential effect of FOLFOXIRI as an intensive adjuvant treatment for ctDNA clearance as a surrogate biomarker of treatment efficacy. Phase IIb: To study differences on the conversion rate between an intensive adjuvant treatment (FOLFOXIRI) versus conventional adjuvant therapy (CAPOX).

- Current treatment with another investigational drug or participation in another investigational study
- Patient unable to comply with the study protocol owing to psychological, social or geographical reasons.
- Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study.
