Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a Predictive Biomarker for Immunotherapy in Advanced or Locally Advanced dMMR/MSI-H Colorectal Patients
An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Geneplus-Beijing Co. Ltd. at 2 sites in China.
Trial summary
dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer patients are the dominant population of immunotherapy/neoadjuvant immunotherapy, but imaging evaluation of immunotherapy efficacy is insufficient. There are some cases, although no disease remission was found on imaging,pathological complete response (pCR) was confirmed after surgery. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Study on the Clinical Potential of Circulating Tumor DNA in Advanced or Locally Advanced dMMR/MSI-H Colorectal Patients Treated With Immunotherapy
dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer patients are the dominant population of immunotherapy/neoadjuvant immunotherapy, but imaging evaluation of immunotherapy efficacy is insufficient. There are some cases, although no disease remission was found on imaging,pathological complete response (pCR) was confirmed after surgery. Meanwhile,previous studies have shown that dynamic changes in ctDNA can help assess immunotherapy efficacy. Therefore, we propose to conduct a multicenter, prospective, observational clinical study to explore the efficacy prediction and monitoring value of ctDNA in immunotherapy for advanced or locally advanced dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation of ctDNA changes with pCR rate and the duration of cCR
Correlation of ctDNA changes with rate of pathological complete response or the duration of clinical complete response
Measured: 2023/12-2025/12
Secondary outcomes (1)
Correlation of ctDNA changes with 2 years PFS
Correlation of ctDNA changes with 2 years of progression-free survival after recived immunotherapy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Geneplus-Beijing Co. Ltd. at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Xiaoyan Zhou, PhD (+86 13524324387, xyzhou100@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Correlation of ctDNA changes with pCR rate and the duration of cCR (time frame: 2023/12-2025/12). 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 NCT06098560, which also lists 5 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 30 Jun 2026.
