Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

This study will determine the effect of the use of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) to guide adjuvant chemotherapy on recurrence-free survival in stage II colon or rectal cancer patients Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or above, and have been diagnosed with Stage II colon or rectal cancer and have had your cancer curatively resected. Study details Participants in this study are randomly allocated (by chance) to one of two groups. Participants in one group will have blood samples taken and analysed for circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and be treated according to the ctDNA results. Those with positive ctDNA results will receive standard 5FU-based adjuvant chemotherapy, while those with negative ctDNA will not receive adjuvant chemotherapy. Participants in the other group will have a blood sample taken, but the ctDNA result will not be disclosed. Patients in this group will be treated according to standard clinical criteria at the discretion of the treating physician. Participants who had positive ctDNA results and are being treated with adjuvant chemotherapy will have monthly blood samples taken during treatment to track ctDNA levels. All participants will be followed up 3 monthly for 2 years, then 6 monthly for 3 years through their hospital for a total of five years for disease recurrence and survival.
