open-label, organoid-based adjuvant treatment selection with and without mfolfirinox; comparison to historical controls from the prodige 24 trial. specific per-patient chemotherapy regimens include standard cytotoxic agents (e.g. mfolfirinox components and alternatives such as gemcitabine, capecitabine, paclitaxel, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, calcium folinate) in accordance with smpc/clinical practice; no specific randomised comparator dosing/schedule specified in the available record.
