Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of pathological complete responses (pCR)

Percentage of patients with pCR referring to the total number of enrolled and eligible patients, as evaluated centrally by a reference pathologist.

Time frame
From enrollment to surgery after pre-operative treatment (up to approximately 36 months)

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival

Overall survival (OS) will be determined by measuring the time interval from enrollment to the end of follow up or death from any cause

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of follow up or death from any cause (up to approximately 60 months)
2

Progression-free survival

Progression-free survival (PFS) will be defined as the time from enrollment to the end of follow up or the time of disease progression or relapse or death from any cause

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of follow up or the time of disease progression or relapse or death from any cause (up to approximately 60 months)
3

The incidences and types of adverse events (AE) and severe adverse events (SAE)

The incidences and types of adverse events that occur during treatment will be evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0

Time frame
From enrollment to 90-day after the last dose administration (up to approximately 27 months)
