Circulating Tumour DNA as a Marker of Occult Disease in Stage II Colorectal Cancer and Response to Therapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Interventions: This is a prospective study involving the collection of blood samples for the purposes of measuring circulating tumour DNA from two distinct cohorts of patients:
COHORT A: Patients with curatively resected stage II colon cancer- subgroups will be enrolled according to whether adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended by patient’s treating oncologist. Group A - Chemotherpay; Group B - No Chemo (serial blood collection) and Group C - No chemotherapy (baseline sample). Timepoints for each group in COHORT A are as follows:
Group A - 60mls of blood will be collected at 11 timepoints-
Timepoint 1 - Baseline (4-8 weeks post operation)
Timepoint 2 - Post 3 month of chemotherapy
Timepoint 3 - Completion of chemotherapy
Timepoint (4 - 11) -3 monthly follow ups post completion of treatment (3mths; 6mths; 9mths; 12mths; 15mths; 18 mths; 21 mnths and 24mths)
Group B - 60mls of blood will be collected at 9 timepoints -
Timepoint 1 - Baseline (4-8 weeks post operation)
Timepoint (2 - 9) -3 monthly follow ups post completion of treatment (3mths; 6mths; 9mths; 12mths; 15mths; 18 mths; 21 mnths and 24mths)
Group C - 60mls of blood will be collected at 1 timepoint -
Timepoint 1 Baseline (4-8 weeks post operation)
COHORT B - Patients with metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer undergoing first line chemotherapy.
60 mls of blood will be collected at 3 timepoints -
Timepoint 1 - Priot to Cycle 1 Day 1 chemotherapy
Timepoint 2 - Cycle 1 Day 3 chemotherapy
Timepoint 3 - Cycle 2 Day 1 cemotherapy
Primary outcome(s): COHORT A Stage II Colrectal Cancer - to demonstrate that persistence of tumour derived DNA in peripheral blood following complete resection of the primary tumour is a sensitive and specific arker of subsequent disease recurrence.[COHORT A - At the completion of the analysis of blood, plasma and tissue samples.
COHORT A are as follows:
Group A - 60mls of blood will be collected at 11 timepoints-
Timepoint 1 - Baseline (4-8 weeks post operation)
Timepoint 2 - Post 3 month of chemotherapy
Timepoint 3 - Completion of chemotherapy
Timepoint (4 - 11) -3 monthly follow ups post completion of treatment (3mths; 6mths; 9mths; 12mths; 15mths; 18 mths; 21 mnths and 24mths)

Timepoint (2 - 9) -3 monthly follow ups post completion of treatment (3mths; 6mths; 9mths; 12mths; 15mths; 18 mths; 21 mnths and 24mths)
Group C - 60mls of blood will be collected at 1 timepoint -
Timepoint 1 Baseline (4-8 weeks post operation)];COHORT B Stage IV Colorectal Cancer - To confirm that early changes in the level of circulating tumour DNA are a
sensitive and specific marker of treatment response or resistance.[COHORT B - At the completion of the analysis of blood, plasma and tissue samples.
COHORT B - Patients with metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer undergoing first line chemotherapy.
60 mls of blood will be collected at 3 timepoints -
Timepoint 1 - Priot to Cycle 1 Day 1 chemotherapy
Timepoint 2 - Cycle 1 Day 3 chemotherapy
Timepoint 3 - Cycle 2 Day 1 cemotherapy]
