Drug Leucovorin

Infusion

Drug Capecitabine

Tablet

Drug Oxaliplatin

Infusion

Drug Fluorouracil

Infusion

Device Immunoscore® assay

Whole-slide tissue analysis of CD3+ and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in the tumor and in the invasive margin

Other Physical exercise

Increasing stair walking exercise twice a week over 12 weeks total.

Immunoscore stratification Experimental

Immunoscore low (I-Low; I0-1): 3 months CAPOX (oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 IV over 2 h and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 PO twice daily (days 1-14). 21-day treatment cycle.). Concomitantly, standardised physical excise (stair walking excise twice a week for 12 weeks), which will be monitored by an electronic sports device. Immunoscore intermediate-high (I-IntHi; I2-3): 6 months FOLFOX (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV (on day 1) and folinic acid 200 mg/m2 IV over 2 h, followed by a bolus of fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 IV over 2-4 min, followed by fluorouracil 600 mg/m2 IV over 22 h (for 2 consecutive days). 14-day treatment cycle.) Immunoscore high (I high; I4): no adjuvant treatment.

TNM stratification Active Comparator

TNM-based low-risk (pT1, pT2 or pT3 and pN1): 3 months CAPOX (oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 IV over 2 h and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 PO twice daily (days 1-14). 21-day treatment cycle.) TNM-based high-risk (pT4 and/or pN2): 6 months FOLFOX (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV (on day 1) and folinic acid 200 mg/m2 IV over 2 h, followed by a bolus of fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 IV over 2-4 min, followed by fluorouracil 600 mg/m2 IV over 22 h (for 2 consecutive days). 14-day treatment cycle.)
