Candidate for sphincter-sparing surgical resection prior to neoadjuvant therapy according to the primary surgeon, i.e. no patient will be included for whom surgeon indicates need for abdomino-perineal resection (APR) at baseline. 6. Clinical staging is based on the combination of the following assessments: - Physical examination by the primary surgeon - CT scan of the chest/abdomen - Pelvic MRI - Rigid rectoscopy / endoscopic ultrasound (ERUS). - Both examinations (i.e. MRI and ERUS) are mandatory. 7. The tumor has to fulfill the following criteria: - No symptomatic bowel obstruction - Locally advanced rectal and rectosigmoid cancer, i.e. lower border of tumor > 5 cm and < 16 cm from anal verge as determined by rigid rectoscopy - MRI criteria: 1. Lower border of tumor below a line defined by promontorium and symphysis, regardless of the criterion "< 16 cm from anal verge as determined by rigid rectoscopy". 2. No evidence that tumor is adjacent to (defined as within 2 mm of) the mesorectal fascia on MRI (i.e. CRM > 2 mm) 3. Only T3-tumors are included, i.e infiltration into perirectal fat < 10 mm provided CRM > 2 mm 4. Note: MRI criteria are used for the definition of T3 tumor (i.e. exclusion of T2 and T4 situation). 8. Hematological status: - Neutrophils (ANC) = 2 x 10^9/L - Platelets = 100 x 10^9/L - Hemoglobin = 9 g/dL (previous transfusion of packed blood cells allowed) 9.

Any other serious and uncontrolled non-malignant disease, major surgery or traumatic injury within the last 28 days prior to study entry 18. Pregnant or breastfeeding women 19. Patients with known allergy to any constituent to study drugs 20. History of myocardial infarction and/or stroke within 6 months prior to randomization, NYHA class III and IV congestive heart failure 21. Severe renal insufficiency (creatinin clearance < 30 ml/min) 22. Bowel obstruction 23. Contra-indication to the assessment by MRI 24. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both Sanofi staff and/or staff of Sponsor and study site) 25. Patient who might be dependent on the sponsor, site or the investigator 26. Patient who has been incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized by court order or by the authorities § 40 Abs. 1 S. 3 Nr. 4 AMG 27.

Primary | Pathologic complete response (pCR) | number of patients with a pCR finding divided by the number of patients in the analysis set pCR will be assessed in a standardized manner independently by a central pathology | 20 weeks | |
Secondary | Dose intensities of study medication | The dose intensities of study medication will be calculated over the whole study duration and will be summarized descriptively by summary statistics. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Type, incidence and severity of AEs, SAEs | AEs will be coded according to the NCI-CTC Criteria Version 4.03. For the analysis, all AEs will be classified as related and not related.
