NCT05635630

Brief Summary

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. 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. 2.Whether the patients with ctDNA positive status could benefit from early therapeutic intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (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.

    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)

  • Overall survival (OS) time

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

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

    Post-operation 1 month

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

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

  • The rate of achieving NED status when relapses happen.

    When the relapses happen, up to 2 years.
