Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients in the Prospective Dutch ColoRectal Cancer cohort (PLCRC) with non-metastatic colon cancer that gave consent for additional blood withdrawals are enrolled in the observational PLCRC-MEDOCC substudy. In this study, blood is collected before surgery, after surgery and during follow-up. Within PLCRC-MEDOCC, patients with stage II colon cancer that are not considered to have an indication for adjuvant chemotherapy, can be included in the MEDOCC-CrEATE subcohort under the condition that they gave informed consent in PLCRC for biobanking of tissue and for future studies (Trial within Cohorts design).

Patients included in MEDOCC-CrEATE will be randomized 1:1 to the (A) ctDNA-based treatment group versus (B) the standard of care group. A total of 1320 patients will be randomized. Patients randomized to the ctDNA-based treatment group will have their post-surgery samples analysed directly after informed consent for MEDOCC-CrEATE. All patients with detectable ctDNA will be offered adjuvant chemotherapy (3 months CAPOX). Patients with undetectable ctDNA will receive routine follow-up at the surgical department. The aim of this Trial within Cohorts study is to investigate how many patients with detectable ctDNA after surgery start with adjuvant chemotherapy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ctDNA-based treatment group

Patients randomized to the ctDNA-based treatment group will have their post-surgery samples analysed directly after informed consent for MEDOCC-CrEATE. Results are reported to the treating physician and patients. All patients with detectable ctDNA are considered high risk stage 2 patients and will be offered adjuvant chemotherapy for 3 months (4 cycles CAPOX) according to routine clinical practice. Patients with undetectable ctDNA will receive routine follow-up at the surgical department.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ctDNA analysis after surgery

Intervention Type OTHER

ctDNA analysis of post-surgery blood samples will be performed directly after informed consent for MEDOCC-CrEATE.

Standard of care group

The treating physician and patient are not informed about the ctDNA result and these patients will receive routine follow-up at the surgical department.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
