What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ctDNA monitoringDiagnostic test

    Patients who undergoing radical surgery for colorectal cancer for 6~12 months and with 2 consecutive positive ctDNA testing results within 1 month will be enrolled, and diagnostic laparoscopy will be performed immediately after enrollment. Patients with positive peritoneal metastasis (PCI score <20) will be treated with CRS+HIPEC. Tumor markers, endoscopic and imaging examinations, and ctDNA monitoring will be performed every 3 months in patients with negative peritoneal metastasis. Laparoscopy will be performed when imaging suggested peritoneal metastasis (oligometastases). Re-diagnostic laparoscopy will be performed 24 months after radical surgery when there is no radiographic evidence of recurrence or metastasis. Follow-up time will up to 36 months after colorectal cancer surgery.

  • ImageologyDiagnostic test

    Patients who undergoing radical surgery for colorectal cancer for 6~12 months and with 2 consecutive positive ctDNA testing results within 1 month will be enrolled. and there will be no need to conduct endoscopic exploration immediately after enrollment. Tumor markers, endoscopic and imaging examinations, and ctDNA monitoring will be performed every 3 months until imaging suggested peritoneal metastasis (oligometastases). Patients with positive peritoneal metastasis (PCI score <20) will be treated with CRS+HIPEC. Re-diagnostic laparoscopy will be performed 24 months after radical surgery when there is no radiographic evidence of recurrence or metastasis. Follow-up time will up to 36 months after colorectal cancer surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Peritoneal Metastasis Free Survival (PMFS)

    The survival rate without peritoneal metastasis (oligometastatic) at 24 months after radical resection of colorectal cancer.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Detection Rate (DR)

    DR of ctDNA monitoring for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    DR of imageological examination for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    DR of combination of ctDNA monitoring and imageological examination for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Interim analyses: After 69 patients have been enrolled, up to 1.5 years

  2. Positive Percent Agreement (PPA)

    PPA of ctDNA monitoring for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    PPA of imageological examination for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    PPA of combination of ctDNA monitoring and imageological examination for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Interim analyses: After 69 patients have been enrolled, up to 1.5 years

  3. Negative Percent Agreement (NPA)

    NPA of ctDNA monitoring for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    NPA of imageological examination for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    NPA of combination of ctDNA monitoring and imageological examination for predicting peritoneal metastasis with abdominal exploration as the reference.

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Interim analyses: After 69 patients have been enrolled, up to 1.5 years

  4. The time of peritoneal metastasis diagnosed after radical surgery

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Interim analyses: After 69 patients have been enrolled, up to 1.5 years

  5. Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) Score

    This scale measures the extent of peritoneal cancer throughout the peritoneal cavity.

    The range of this scale is from 0 to 39.

    0 = no disease within the peritoneal cavity

    0-9 = minimal disease

    10-29 = moderate disease

    30-39 = extensive disease

    Lower values are considered a better outcome for the patient.

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Interim analyses: After 69 patients have been enrolled, up to 1.5 years

  6. Completeness of Cytoreduction (CC) Score

    The degree to which the disease was able to be excised during the procedure.

    This scale ranges from CC0-CC3.

    CC0 = all disease has been cleared, with no visible peritoneal carcinomatosis after CRS

    CC1 = microscopic disease remains (Nodules persisting < 2.5 mm after CRS)

    CC2 = macroscopic disease remains (Nodules persisting between 2.5 mm and 2.5 cm)

    CC3 = Substantial Macroscopic disease remains (Nodules persisting > 2.5 cm)

    Lower values are considered a better outcome, with CC0/1 classed as favourable and CC2/3 indicating an incomplete clearance of disease.

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Interim analyses: After 69 patients have been enrolled, up to 1.5 years

  7. The ctDNA clearance rate before and after CRS+HIPEC treatment

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Interim analyses: After 69 patients have been enrolled, up to 1.5 years

  8. The rate of Disease Free Survival (DFS) at 3 years after radical resection of colorectal cancer

    Whether the patient is still alive and free of disease or not.

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 3 years

  9. The Overall Survival (OS) at 3 years after radical resection of colorectal cancer

    Whether the patient is still alive or not.

    Will be compared in both arms.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 3 years

What does the primary outcome measure?

Peritoneal Metastasis Free Survival (PMFS) (time frame: Through study completion, up to 3 years). 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 NCT04752930, which also lists 18 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.
