Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.
