Study Design § We hypothesize that sequential chemo-radiotherapy using accelerated, dose escalated radiotherapy will intensify loco-regional treatment, improve local control and overall survival compared to conventionally fractionated sequential chemo-radiotherapy treatment. This study will take 4 dose escalated accelerated sequential chemo-radiotherapy schedules and compare them with a UK standard sequential chemo-radiotherapy regimen in order to identify the best accelerated regime to take forward into phase III trials. § Randomised phase II screening/”pick-the-winner” design to select a single regimen to go forward for phase III testing. § A novel design will be used that will allow individual centres to randomise to one or more (depending on local resources) of the experimental schedules. In order to maximise the efficiency of the design, sites are encouraged to open as many experimental arms as they can. § The study will enrol 360 patients; 120 patients on the standard arm and 60 on each experimental arm.

Data Management The trial uses the electronic data capture system MACRO and paper randomisation forms. A user guide will be provided and site staff access will be provided once the site is activated to recruitment. PAPER CRFs FOR THE TRIAL: • • Randomisation Form Pregnancy Notification Form SAE Form CRF Completion Guidelines will be provided. ELECTRONIC CRF VISITS: • • • Baseline Weekly Treatment and Treatment Summary Follow Up and Tumour Assessment Pregnancy Notification Consent Withdrawal Notification CRF/ e. CRF COMPLETION TIMELINES: • • Data entry – within 6 weeks of the patient visit Resolution of queries – within 6 weeks of receipt Central Review of Data CRUK CTU will regularly review the data for compliance with the protocol, and for inconsistent or missing data. Should any missing data or data anomalies be found within the e. CRFs upon CTU review, queries will be generated within the MACRO ® study database for the site to access and resolve. Sites are expected to review and respond to queries within the database in a timeous manner. Any issues identified at sites in relation to poor data/slow response to data queries will be managed as per the data escalation process. To minimise the number of data queries being sent to sites, the CRUK CTU will develop a data rulings document and resolve as many self-evident queries as possible in-house.

Data Management (2) DATA ESCALATION PROCESS § CRUK CTU will regularly chase outstanding data

Data Management (2) DATA ESCALATION PROCESS § CRUK CTU will regularly chase outstanding data from participating sites. Routine requests for outstanding data and data queries will be performed quarterly or more regularly if required. § Sites will be routinely requested to complete outstanding data and data queries within 6 weeks of receiving the queries or the e. CRF being due for completion. § Trigger reports will be run quarterly at the same point as the routine requests for data. If 20% of forms are overdue for more than 3 months (at least 10 forms meeting this criteria) or any forms greater than 6 months overdue the site will be contacted. A log will be kept of any sites meeting a trigger point. § If a site consistently meets a trigger point an escalation process will begin. See the protocol for further information.
