Comparison of study design, MOSAIC and NSABP C-07

MOSAICa NSABP C-07b

Sample size 2246 2407

Study design Randomized, phase III Randomized, phase III

Tumor stage Resected stage II, III Resected stage II, III

Stratification • T stage: 2, 3 vs. T4 N stage: 0, 1, 2
• N stage: 0, 1, 2
• Perforation or obstruction or venous invasion

Planned cumulative doses:
   Oxaliplatin 1020 mg/m2 765 mg/m2
   5-FU 24,000 mg/m2 9,000 mg/m2

Primary endpoint DFS DFS

DFS definedc Time to relapse or death whichever comes first (non-colorectal cancers were disregarded in the analysis) Time to first recurrence, death or second primary cancer

Primary analysis cut-off 3 years from enrollment of last patient or 303 events (relapse or death) in test arm whichever comes later 675 events on the combined arms (estimated to be at approximately 3 years from enrollment of last patient)

Secondary endpoints Safety, overall survival, long-term adverse events Safety, overall survival, and recurrence-free interval

Statistical power 90% to detect a 6% increase in DFS at 3 years 89% to detect a 5.4% increase in DFS at 3 years
