- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To examine the feasibility of a multi-centre prospective registry-based randomised clinical trial evaluating alternating oxaliplatin and irinotecan doublet schedules vs. continuous doublet chemotherapy during initial treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.<br>The primary feasibility endpoint will be evaluated by recruitment rate, defined as the proportion of eligible mCRC patients who enrol onto this study. [Eligible participants will be recruited over 1.5 years. All participants will be followed until death or study completion. ]
