CORRECT-MRD II: Second Colorectal Cancer Clinical Validation Study to Predict Recurrence Using a Circulating Tumor DNA Assay to Detect Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)
We are enrolling people who have had complete surgical removal of a stage II or stage III colorectal cancer. We will draw blood samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to find out if this blood test can be used to detect recurrence of the cancer. People will be followed for at least 3 years and up to 5 years.
• diagnosis of cancer of the colon or rectum (CRC)
• complete surgical resection, with last surgery occurring within 180 days prior to enrollment
• started adjuvant (after surgery) therapy for current CRC diagnosis
• women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• history of any invasive cancer except non-melanoma skin cancer
A Phase 3, Open-Label, Randomized Study of Perioperative Dostarlimab Monotherapy versus Standard of Care in Participants with Untreated T4N0 or Stage III dMMR/MSI-H Resectable Colon Cancer (AZUR-2)
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of dostarlimab as compared with standard treatment with surgery in participants with untreated T4N0 or Stage III (resectable), dMMR/MSI-H colon cancer
• has adenocarcinoma of the colon that has not been treated
• plan is to do surgery for the cancer that is T4N0 or Stage III
• tumor shows presence of either dMMR status or MSI-H
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete inclusion and exclusion criteria
• received prior medical therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic, or targeted therapy), radiation therapy or surgery for management of colon cancer
• history of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis
• cirrhosis or current unstable liver or biliary disease
• history of allogenic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation
• women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive children during the study
Colorectal Cancer Metastatic dMMR/MSI-H Immuno-Therapy (COMMIT) Study: A Randomized Phase III Study of mFOLFOX6/Bevacizumab/Atezolizumab Combination Versus Single Agent Atezolizumab in the First-Line Treatment of Patients With Deficient DNA Mismatch Repair (dMMR)/Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H) Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
We are studying how well combination chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and/or atezolizumab work in treating people with deficient deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair colorectal cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab may stop or slow colorectal cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combination chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and atezolizumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.
• diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma of colon or rectum without previous chemotherapy or any other systemic therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer except for one cycle of FOLFOX or capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX), with or without bevacizumab
• tumor determined to be mismatch-repair deficient (dMMR)
• able to walk & do selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities; up and about more than 50% of waking hours
• additional criteria apply (study staff will review)
• women who are pregnant or breast feeding
• treatment with oxaliplatin chemotherapy within 6 months prior to randomization
• history of significant liver, heart, lung, or autoimmune disease etc. (study staff will review)
