Recruiting PHASE3 Colon Cancer Stage II

Compares treatment options for Colon Cancer Stage II

Official title Neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI Versus Immediate Surgery for Stage II and III Colon Cancers

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05194878

What this study is testing

What is neoadjuvant chemotherapyI?

neoadjuvant chemotherapyI is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for colon cancer stage ii.

Also referred to as mFOLFOXIR.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
BACKGROUND: In patients with high risk stage II and stage III colon cancer (CC), curative surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX or CAPOX regimens has become a standard treatment. However, 20 to 30 % of these patients will develop distant metastasis, which ultimately result in death.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
