This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter, phase III study with two parallel arms. Patients with advanced colon cancer, including the upper third of the rectum, clinically staged cT3-4 and or cN+ (defined as lymph nodes with short axis of at least 1cm) are randomized in a 2:1 fashion (favoring preoperative therapy= Arm A) to investigate the efficacy, patient reported quality of life and safety of preoperative mFOLFOXIRI or mFOLFOX-6 or CAPOX followed by surgery versus the standard of care algorithm (surgery followed by stage-guided adjuvant therapy as recommended by the local multidisciplinary tumor board (Arm B)).

This is a multicentre open labelled phase III adjuvant trial of disease-free survival in patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma randomized to allocation of oxaliplatin- or gemcitabine-based chemotherapy by standard clinical criteria (control arm) or by a transcriptomic treatment specific stratification signature or TSS (test arm).
