About this trial
A phase II clinical trial compared standard TNT (mFolfox6 and CRT) with preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) containing mFolfirinox in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Complete clinical response rate
an absence of clinical, endoscopic or imaging evidence of a rectal tumor during the restaging of a patient with locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.
Secondary outcomes
Toxicity of chemotherapy
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 5
complete pathological response rectal cancer
the absence of malignant cells on the specimen of rectal resection in patients who were previously treated with neoadjuvant CRT.
disease-free survival
Disease-free survival (DFS) will be defined as the time from randomization to recurrence of tumor or death
Overall survival
Overall survival will be defined as the time from randomisation to the time of occurrence of the first death regardless to its cause. Patients alive at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow up.
