Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Event‐free survival at 1 year after randomisation (events: local recurrence, regional recurrence, local‐regional recurrence or progression, distant recurrence, or death from any cause).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Event-free survival at 1 year after randomisation; events defined as local recurrence, regional recurrence, local-regional recurrence or progression, distant recurrence, or death from any cause."}

Other endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- To assess time to event of all treatment arms\n- To assess which preoperative regimen provides superior time-to-recurrence (TTR)\n- To assess which preoperative regimen is most feasible, based on toxicity, pCR and R0 resection rates\n- To assess the toxicity profile of all treatment arms\n- To document surgical morbidity, including incidence of anastomotic leakage\n- To determine the pCR rates of all treatment arms\n- To determine the R0 resection rates of all treatment arms\n- To determine the response rate (RR) of all treatment arms\n- To determine the OS of all treatment arms\n- To identify which preoperative regimen (CRITICS-II) will be compared with the new standard treatment (CRITICS-I) in a nextphase III trial","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Most items are stated as objectives without detailed measurement methods in the provided record. \"Time to event\" and TTR are time-to-event endpoints; pCR rates, R0 resection rates, response rate (RR) and overall survival (OS) are standard clinical endpoints measured per pathology/survival/response assessments. Toxicity profile assessed by toxicity assessments (not further specified). Surgical morbidity documented including incidence of anastomotic leakage (not further specified)."}
