Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Disease Free Survival (DFS)
DFS : defined as the time from the date of randomization up to the date of: first local, regional or distant relapse; second colorectal cancer; death from any cause included treatment-related death.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Disease Free Survival
DFS : defined as the time from the date of randomization up to the date of: first local, regional or distant relapse; second colorectal cancer; death from any cause included treatment-related death.
Overall Survival
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of documented death from any cause
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]
Safety of the study treatment will be assessed on occurrence of Adverse Events (AEs), intake of concomitant treatments, per-treatment arising changes in physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate and body temperature), ECG, and clinical laboratory tests (biochemistry, haematology). Safety parameters will be graded based on NCI CTCAE v4.03 classification. The following parameters will be particularly followed: The incidence of haematological toxicities (grade 3-4, in particular neutropenia and febrile neutropenia); The incidence of GI toxicities, in particular diarrhea; The incidence of peripheral neuropathy.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The trial is a phase III, multicenter, open-labeled randomized trial comparing the association of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), folinic acid, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) versus oxaliplatin, folinic acid, and 5-FU (mFOLFOX 6) chemotherapy protocols in patients with high-risk stage III colon cancer in the adjuvant setting.
Detailed Description
After inclusion and non-inclusion criteria have been fulfilled and the patient consent has been obtained, the patient will be included and randomized in the trial. The maximum delay allowed between the signature of the consent form by the patient and the randomization in the study is 28 days. The randomization procedure using minimization method will allocate the treatments mFOLFIRINOX or mFOLFOX 6 with a 1:1 ratio, and will be stratified by the following criteria: Perforation or urgent surgery versus no perforation and no urgent surgery. T1-T3N2 vs T4aN1 versus T4bN1 versus T4N2. Right colon (right of splenic flexure) vs left colon. Country (France vs Canada vs Italy). Patient eligible and who have signed the informed consent will be randomized in one of the two treatments arms and will receive every 14 days their treatment for a duration of 12 cycles. Arm A: mFOLFIRINOX Arm B: mFOLFOX 6

Model Description
The trial is a phase III, multicenter, open-labeled randomized trial comparing the association 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid, irinotecan and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) versus oxaliplatin, folinic acid, 5FU (mFOLFOX 6) chemotherapy protocols in patients with high-risk stage III colon cancer in the adjuvant setting.
Masking
None (Open Label)
Masking Description
The primary end-point is the Disease Free Survival (DFS) at 3 years, defined as the time from the date of randomization up to the date of: first local, regional or distant relapse; second colorectal cancer; death from any cause included treatment-related death. Other primary cancer (except second primary colorectal) will be ignored. Second primary cancer will be recorded to have the opportunity of evaluating other definition of DFS.
