E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to study the feasibility of using liquid biopsy to guide the post-surgical and post-adjuvant clinical management of stage III and high-risk stage II (T4N0) MSS colon cancer patients. Feasibility is defined as the ability of at least two subsequent negative ctDNA determination to identify patients that will be NED (without radiologic evidence of metastasis) 2 years aftersurgery |
L’obiettivo primario dello studio è di studiare la fattibilità di usare la biopsia liquida per guidare la gestione clinica post-chirurgica e post-adiuvante dei pazienti affetti da tumori MSS del colon di stadio III e II ad alto rischio (T4N0). La fattibilità è definita come la capacità di almeno 2 biopsie liquide consecutive negative di identificare i pazienti che a 2 anni dalla chirurgia non hanno evidenza radiologica di remissione metastatica. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To compare the DFS and OS rates at 2,3 and 5 years in a cohort of 140 stage III and high-risk stage II (only T4N0) MSS colon cancer patients treated post-surgically with a LB guided strategy, with the DFS and OS rates of a 1:3 phenotypically matched cohort of the TOSCA trial treated with FOLFOX/CAPOX either at 3 or 6 months. • To compare the safety profile in a cohort of 140 stage III and high-risk stage II (only T4N0) MSS colon cancer patients treated with a liquid biopsy-guided strategy, with the safety profile of 1:3 phenotypically matched cohort of the TOSCA trial treated with FOLFOX/CAPOX at 3 or 6 months. • To validate LB seroconversion as a proxy of therapy efficacy and to compare its performance with CEA testing whenever CEA levels are above the normal values. • To study the QoL of patients in a cohort of 140 stage III and high-risk stage II (only T4N0) MSS colon cancer patients treated post-surgically with a liquid biopsy-guided strategy |
Confrontare le % DFS e OS a 2,3,5 anni in una coorte di 140 pazienti con cancro MSS del colon stadio III e II ad alto rischio trattati postchirurgicamente con strategia terapeutica guidata da LB, con le % di DFS e OS di una coorte storica accoppiata in rapporto 1:3 dallo studio clinico TOSCA trattati con FOLFOX/CAPOX per 3 o 6 mesi. Confrontare il profilo di sicurezza in una coorte di 140 pazienti con cancro MSS del colon di stadio III e II ad alto rischio trattati postchirurgicamente con strategia terapeutica guidata da LB, con quello di una coorte storica accoppiata in rapporto 1:3 dallo studio clinico TOSCA trattati con FOLFOX/CAPOX per 3 o 6 mesi. Validare la sieroconversione della LB come surrogato dell’efficacia della terapia e confrontarla con la misurazione del CEA quando è sopra i livelli normali. Studiare la QoL in una coorte di 140 pazienti con cancro del colon MSS di stadio III e II ad alto rischio trattati postchirurgicamente con una strategia terapeutica guidata da LB. |
