Exclusion criteria: 1.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary oObjective of the trial is to assess: •the efficacy of observation against 24 weeks of adjuvant post-operative chemotherapy •the efficacy of 24 weeks of adjuvant post-operative 5-FU/Capecitabine monotherapy versus 5-FU/Capecitabine plus Oxaliplatin ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to: •Assess the toxicity of chemotherapy, the overall survivall, the cost-effectiveness of the treatment alternatives, the quality of life and establish a central tissue bank for patients with this rare cancer. ;Primary end point(s): Disease free survival is the primary end point for the trial. This is defined at time from randomisation to the first occurrence of the following events: •Disease relapse (confirmed by imaging) •Incidence of a new primary (confirmed by imaging and histology/cytology) •Death from any cause Patients who experience none of these events are censored at the last date known to be alive. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 3 years after the last patient is randomized | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Overall survival: The patient’s survival status is determined at each follow-up visit. After the mandated clinic visits survival status data will come from responsible cancer centres, cancer registries and national databases and include long-term passive follow-up data such as that collected through collaboration with the National Cancer Intelligence Network and the Office of National Statistics in the U.K. Toxicity of chemotherapy: Toxicity will be assessed using CTCAE version 4.0. Only toxicities that are at least grade 2 will be recorded on the CRF Quality of life: This is assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-CR29 v2.1 and EQ-5D scales as per the schedule indicated in section 4.1.5 Health Economics: Assess the cost-effectiveness of 24 weeks adjuvant chemotherapy in comparison to observation alone; and assess the cost-effectiveness of 24 weeks adjuvant 5-FU/Capecitabine monotherapy compared to 5-FU/Capecitabine plus Oxaliplatin. Outcomes will be reported as incremental cost per DFS and incremental cost per QALY. Establishment of a central tissue bank for patients with SBA – further details on this tissue bank can be found in section 4.2, Translational Research. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 3, 5 and 7 years after the last patient is randomized | — |
