About this study

Official title: Value of CtDNA in Surveillance of Adjuvant Chemosensitivity and Regimen Adjustment in Stage III Colon Cancer: a Phase II Randomized Controlled Trial (REVISE Trial)

Colon cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors with an increasing incidence rate in China. Surgical resection is still the main treatment for colon cancer at present. Radical surgery followed by three/six months chemotherapy is the standard of care for stage III colon cancer; however, patients with different risk factors have different prognosis. The IDEA trial divided stage III colon cancer patients into low-risk (T1-3/N1) and high-risk (T4 or N2) groups, and showed that for some low-risk patients, three months chemotherapy did not decrease survival outcomes, while for some high-risk patients, the recurrence risk was still high even after six months chemotherapy. Therefore, it's worth to explore other risk stratification factors beyond T and N stage for these patients.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is derived from cancer cells and can be detected in blood. Literatures have reported that ctDNA can be used for tumor diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and prognosis assessment in multiple cancers, including colon cancer. The GERCOR-PRODIGE trial, an accompanying study of IDEA, reported that in the high-risk group of stage III colon cancer, patients with ctDNA-positive and receiving six months chemotherapy had similar prognosis to these with ctDNA-negative and receiving three months chemotherapy; in the low-risk group, patients with ctDNA-negative and receiving three or six months chemotherapy had similar prognosis to patients with ctDNA-positive and receiving 6 months chemotherapy, but patients with ctDNA-positive and receiving three months chemotherapy had the worst prognosis. The results of this trial suggests that ctDNA can be potentially used as a further stratification factor to guide adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer.

Several RCTs have shown that double-drug regimens chemotherapy based on oxaliplatin (FOLFOX and XELOX) can improve the prognosis of patients with stage III colon cancer. Therefore, the ESMO, NCCN, and CSCO guidelines recommend FOLFOX or XELOX for stage III colon cancer. The 2-year disease-free survival rate of these patients who received FOLFOX or XELOX chemotherapy was about 80%. It is worth to further explore how to improve the prognosis of these patients. Recently, the triple-drug regimens of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and fluoropyrimidine (FOLFOXIRI) has been found to be superior to FOLFOX or XELOX for metastatic colorectal cancer in terms of response rate and survival. Currently, research on FOLFOXIRI plus targeted therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer is progressing rapidly, but there is little research on the use of FOLFOXIRI as adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer. There is an ongoing international multicenter phase III RCT comparing FOLFOXIRI and FOLFOX6 adjuvant chemotherapy for high-risk stage III colon cancer patients, but it did not further stratify patients based on postoperative ctDNA status, which may result in some patients receiving excessive chemotherapy.

The present study plans to enroll patients with stage III colon cancer with positive ctDNA within 1 month after surgery. These patients will receive 2 cycles of XELOX chemotherapy followed by retesting ctDNA. During the waiting period of the ctDNA results (approximately 3 weeks due to the testing time), all patients will receive another cycle of XELOX chemotherapy. If the ctDNA remains positive, the patients will be randomly assigned to receive 8 cycles of FOLFOXIRI as intensified adjuvant chemotherapy or 5 cycles of XELOX regimen as standard adjuvant chemotherapy. If the ctDNA is negative, the patients will continue to receive 5 cycles of XELOX chemotherapy. Within 3 weeks after the completion or termination of chemotherapy, ctDNA will be retested again. The aims of this study are to explore the value of ctDNA in surveillance of chemosensitivity and to preliminarily evaluate whether the intensified chemotherapy with FOLFOXIRI can increase ctDNA clearance as well as its safety in stage III colon cancer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change in value of ctDNA concentration

    Defined as the change in value of ctDNA measured after 2 cycles of XELOX (ctDNA2) and after the completion or termination of chemotherapy (ctDNA3). △ctDNA= ctDNA3 - ctDNA2.

    Measured: six months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. ctDNA clearance rate

    Defined as the proportion of patients whose ctDNA becomes negative after the completion or termination of chemotherapy to the total patient.

    Measured: six months

  2. disease-free survival

    The time from randomization to local recurrence, distant metastasis, or death.

    Measured: two years

  3. metastasis-free survival

    The time from randomization to distant metastasis.

    Measured: two years

  4. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE 5.0.

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE 5.0.

    Measured: two years

  5. quality of life as assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30).

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 consists of 30 items, including 5 functional scales (physical function, role function, cognitive function, emotional function, social function), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting), 6 individual measurement items (dysphagia, loss of appetite, sleep disorders, constipation, diarrhea, economic difficulties), and 1 patient self-assessment item (overall health status). Each of the first 28 items score 1 to 4. The higher the score, the worse the quality of life. The last 2 items score 1 to 7. The higher the score, the best the quality of life.

    Measured: two years

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ziqiang Wang (+8685422480, wangziqiang@scu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in value of ctDNA concentration (time frame: six months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06242418, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Dec 2024.
