Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pathologic complete response rate: The primary efficacy endpoint of this study is complete response rate at the time of surgery as assessed by the investigator. The primary efficacy analysis will be based on the full analysis set (FAS). The FAS analysis is similar to the modified ITT, where all randomized subjects will be reviewed for protocol violations or any other violations, and the minimum level of reasons for exclusion will be applied: violations of major inclusion/exclusion criteria, no administration of investigational products or treatment, or no available data for evaluation of the primary endpoint post-randomization. Except for these major reasons, the subjects will be included in the FAS for analysis as possible.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
a. Treatment Failure Rate - The treatment failure rate is an outcome measure including local treatment failure, metastatic recurrence, secondary colorectal cancer, and treatment-related death. b. Quality of Life and Function (Patient-Reported Outcomes) - They will be measured through EORTC QLQ-C30/QLQ-CR29 and low anterior resection questionnaire. c. Relevant cost - Total number of hospital visits/costs, chemotherapy costs, etc. will be comprehensively evaluated.;a. ctDNA - Among the treatment outcomes, changes in ctDNA will be measured to confirm whether it is possible to detect a response at earlier phase and a risk of relapse based on ctDNA.
