About this study
Official title: A Cohort Study Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Somatic Mutation Spectrum Model in CRC Prognosis and Prediction Stratification
By analyse the tissue/blood variant spectrum model using NGS, the present clinical trial aims to elucidate the genetic basis of CRC in Chinese; to establish of CRC genetic map in Chinese patients; to identification new genetic biomarkers, drug and pathways; and to subtyping for precision treatment and management for Chinese CRC patients.
Read the detailed description
Colorectal cancer (CRC), as one of the common malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality, is a major health threat in China. Surgical resection is the conventional treatment for early and intermediate stage CRC, chemotherapy is the main treatment for late stage CRC.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is tumor-derived fragmented DNA with an average size of 170bp, mixed with cell free DNA (cfDNA) of other sources in blood circulation. Although the mechanisms of its release have not been fully addressed, apoptosis and/or necrosis of tumor cells and serum exosome are considered as its main source, which makes it a genomic reservoir of different tumor clones. Also, as its half-life is up to hours, ctDNA is reflecting the most up-to-date status of tumor genome. Hence, it allows for noninvasive molecular characterization of tumors,which can be qualitative, quantitative and used for disease monitoring. The possibility of that ctDNA could be used to detect micrometastatic disease in patients received surgical resection was suggested in several studies. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), Newman et al. have shown that the serum level of ctDNA was correlated with tumor progress and prognosis in NSCLC. Isaac et al. demonstrated the postoperative ctDNA level was associated with breast cancer progression, and it was more sensitive compared to CT scan for predicting the early relapse. Tie et al. examined the postoperative ctDNA level of 1046 plasma samples from a prospective cohort of 230 patients with resected stage II CRC by NGS, and their results demonstrated that recurrence happened in 79% of the patients with positive postoperative ctDNA at median follow-up of 27 months, versus 9.8% in the negative postoperative ctDNA group.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Retrospective cohort | Whole exome sequencing of 2500 retrospective tissue sample. | |
| Prospective cohort | Whole exome sequencing of 500 prospectively collected tissue samples. Panel sequencing of 451 genes of prospectively collected blood samples. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
prediction accuracy of survival rate
We will use the gene mutation data and follow-up data of the patients to construct a prediction model,the accuracy of model to anticipating the 5 year survival rate of patients is the primary endpoint
Measured: through study completion, an average of 5 years
prediction accuracy of recurrent rate
We will use the gene mutation data and follow-up data of the patients to construct a prediction model,the accuracy of model to anticipating the 3 year recurrent rate of patients is the primary endpoint
Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Mutation Consistency of tissue and blood sample
We do NGS sequencing of both the tissue sample and blood sample of the CRC patients. The gene mutation data will be analysis, and the percentage of same and different mutation of tissue and blood sample will be reported.
Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Feng Wang, MD.,PhD. (+862087343795, wangfeng@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
prediction accuracy of survival rate (time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04228614, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
