Minimal Residual Disease Assessment in Patients with Colorectal Cancer, the MiRDA-C Study

Description

This study investigates if circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and other tumor-related molecules/chemicals released in the blood can help doctors predict if colorectal cancer may come back or spread. Tumors shed DNA and other cancer related chemicals into the blood that can be identified and studied further to provide information about the cancer. Information gathered from this study may help researchers better understand if ctDNA found in the blood can predict whether colorectal cancer may come back or spread.

Conditions

Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Stage I Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage II Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IIA Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IIB Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IIC Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage III Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IIIA Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IIIB Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IIIC Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IV Colorectal Cancer AJCC V6, Stage IVA Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IVB Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IVC Colorectal Cancer AJCC V8

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Age ≥ 18 years.
  • 2. Histological/cytological confirmation of colorectal adenocarcinoma.
  • 3. Patients with any stage colorectal adenocarcinoma deemed potentially eligible for curative intent treatment. Patients with stages II-IV colorectal cancer post-R0 resection may also be enrolled onto the protocol any time before or up to 3 months post-surgery and prior to initiating adjuvant therapy.
  • 4. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • 5. Willing to pursue standard of care surveillance post completion of curative therapies.
  • 6. Willing to provide blood samples for correlative research.
  • 1. Known active malignancies other than colorectal adenocarcinoma that may interfere with detection and / or interpretation of circulating plasma markers. Patients with known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential are eligible.
  • 2. Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
