About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) for no Evidence of Disease (NED) Status in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) and Its Utility in Guiding Therapeutic Intervention: an Open-label, Prospective, Phase II Cohort Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to detect the prognostic value of longitudinal monitoring circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for no evidence of disease (NED) status in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients and its utility in guiding therapeutic intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Whether ctDNA monitoring could evaluate NED status ahead of normal radiologic monitoring. What about the concordance of evaluating NED status by ctDNA monitoring compared with normal radiologic monitoring?
  2. Whether the patients with ctDNA positive status could benefit from early therapeutic intervention.

Patients who receive any kinds of therapies with the aim of NED and are confirmed by clinical and radiologic examination will go through longitudinal ctDNA monitoring. According to the results of ctDNA monitoring, the patients will be divided into ctDNA positive group and ctDNA negative group. Patients in ctDNA positive group will receive individual therapeutic plan decided by the investigator. Patients in ctDNA negative group will receive regular examinations. When radiologic recurrences are confirmed, the patients will be re-evaluated for a second opportunity of radical resection.

What participants receive

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

  • ctDNA and adjuvant therapyOther

    Patients of ctDNA positive group receive individual adjuvant chemotherapy. The ctDNA status are evaluated every 2 months.

  • ctDNAOther

    Patients of ctDNA negative group are monitored by ctDNA every 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relapse-free survival (RFS) time

    To detect the RFS time in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with no evidence of disease (NED) status who received circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) guided therapies.

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival (OS) time

    To detect the OS time in mCRC patients with NED status who received ctDNA guided therapies.

    Measured: From the date of surgery until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years.

  2. The positive rate of ctDNA in mCRC patients with NED status.

    When the NED status is confirmed by radiology post-operation, it will also be assessed the ctDNA positive rate.

    Measured: Post-operation 1 month

  3. The concordance index of ctDNA defined NED and radiology defined NED status.

    In this study, we aim to evaluate the NED status by ctDNA and traditional radiologic methods. The concordance index will be used to detect the identity of two methods.

    Measured: When the clinic trail is finished, up to 2 years.

  4. The rate of achieving NED status when relapses happen.

    When the diseases relapse during the follow-up. The multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT) team will discuss the opportunities to achieve a second NED status.

    Measured: When the relapses happen, up to 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ctDNA and adjuvant therapy and ctDNA in people with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer and No Evidence of Disease Status, run by Fudan 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 2 Dec 2022. 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 Junjie Peng (+86-021-64175590, pengjj67@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Relapse-free survival (RFS) time (time frame: From date of surgery until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Dec 2022.
