Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective response rate (ORR)
Defined as the percentage of trial participants having a CR or PR, as per RECIST v1.1.
Secondary outcomes
duration of clinical complete response
defined as the time from the first documented date of clinical complete response to the date of documented local tumor regrowth, disease recurrence, or last available follow-up, whichever occurs first.
near-complete clinical response rate
absence of mass at digital rectal exam, small mucosal irregularity or superficial ulcer no more than 2 cm in diameter at endoscopic exam, and no metastatic nodes at MRI.
duration of near-complete clinical response
defined as the time from the first documented date of near-complete clinical response to the date of documented conversion to complete clinical response, local tumor regrowth, disease recurrence, or last available follow-up, whichever occurs first.
rate of surgery (total mesorectal excision or local excision)
defined as the proportion of patients who undergo surgical resection of the primary tumor, including either total mesorectal excision (TME) or local excision
