bespoke study of ctdna guided therapy in colorectal cancer

Conditions: Colorectal Cancer; Colon Cancer

Summary: the bespoke crc study will prospectively enroll patients who have undergone surgery for stage i to iv colorectal cancer (crc) and who have residual formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (ffpe) tissue available will provide ffpe and whole blood samples. patients will receive signatera™ test results and may be recommended for post-operative systemic therapy or observation by their treating clinician. patients will be followed for up to two years with periodic whole blood collection. the study also has a control arm that will consist of matched stage i to iv crc cases that have a minimum of least 2 years clinical follow-up data.

primary objectives: * examine the impact of signatera™ on adjuvant treatment decisions * determine the rate of recurrence of patients diagnosed with crc while asymptomatic using signatera™ secondary objectives: * molecular residual disease clearance as assessed by signatera™ * percent of patients undergoing surgery for oligometastatic recurrence * survival in patients treated with adjuvant versus no adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with signatera™ negative test results * overall survival * impact of signatera™ test results on patient quality of life
