Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
RECIST(Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) is not suitable for the target or immunotherapy. The effect of chemotherapy not only displayed as morphology(tumor size reduction), but also as the biological activity change of tumor cells(e.g.cystic degeneration and cavity).PET-CT combined imaging of molecular function and morphology, but PET-CT was low cost -effective. The tumor markers is a rapid, easy to repeat method, but the change of the markers can not evaluation the response of tumor as an individual indicator. So we need a more sensitive effective evaluation marker.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are rare cancer cells released from tumors into the bloodstream that are thought to have a key role in cancer metastasis. The distant metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with mCRC. CTCs is a method to detect the early tumor micrometastasis. CTCs is predictive of PFS and OS in lung cancer and breast cancer. CTCs is also predictive of response of tumor. CTCs is more accuracy, more sensitive way than imageology or other tumor marker to predict therapy effect and outcome.
The anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (cetuximab) target the human epidermal growth factor receptor and have been integrated into treatment regimens of mCRC. The EGFR expression is not the predicted marker of cetuximab, in patients who express EGFR, the ORR only 10%-20%\[5,6\].In CRYSTAL, The addition of cetuximab to FOLFIRI as first-line therapy improves PFS in patients with KRASwild-type mCRC\[2\]. Up to now, we know only RAS wild type patients would benefit from anti-EGFR therapy.\[7\] The CALGB/SWOG80405 confirmed the conclusion. Some study also found the patients with B-raf (V600e) mutation would not benefit from anti-EGFR therapy\[8\]. Taken together, we need a more accuracy, more sensitive method to predict the effect of cetuximab.
The study is a single arm, single-center, observational study undertaken in anticipated 100 patients with histologically confirmed RAS and B-raf wild type mCRC. These patients received FOLFIRI±cetuximab therapy.
Peripheral blood samples of 10 mL were collected from the patients for CTCs analysis and tumor marker in every cycle D0 and D8. The CTCs sued the integrated subtraction enrichment (SET) and immunostaining-fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) platform.Tumor assessments will be performed every four cycles based on RECIST v1.1 criteria using CT/MRI scan. If the assessments are inconsistent, we will collect 10ml peripheral blood for ct DNA test, which using BEAMing, to analyze mutant gene.
The correlation of the RAS status on CTCs and the mutant gene in ctDNA to the therapeutic response will be evaluated, and found the cut-off of CTCs.

RAS and B-raf wild type mCRC
patients with histologically confirmed RAS and B-raf wild type mCRC treated with FOLFIRI±cetuximab
treated with FOLFIRI±cetuximab
Peripheral blood samples of 10 mL were collected from the patients for CTCs analysis and tumor marker in every cycle D0 and D8. Tumor response evaluation will be performed after four cycles of chemotherapy by CT/MRI based on RECIST. Clinical data, including tumor stage, metastatic organ, objective response, progression free survival, overall survival, etc, will be collected according to study protocol.The correlation of the RAS status on CTCs and the mutant gene in ctDNA to the therapeutic response will be evaluated.
