Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants with non-metastatic resectable colon cancer who have a high risk of peritoneal recurrence, defined as those with perforation or clinical T4 disease will have peritoneal fluid collected at the time of surgery.

This study aims to determine the sensitivity and specificity of tumour DNA detection in peritoneal fluid (peritoneal tumour DNA, ptDNA) to predict for peritoneal recurrence..

Blood samples will be collected pre-surgery, 4-6 weeks post surgery, 12 months post surgery and at recurrence (if applicable) for circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) analysis.

Participants will be followed up for 5 years post surgery.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 339070 0
The primary outcome is peritoneal recurrence-free survival.
Timepoint [1] 339070 0
Peritoneal recurrence free survival will be assessed by 6 monthly CT scans and CEAs for the first two years then yearly between years 3-5.

A ctDNA test will be collected pre-surgery, 4-6 weeks post surgery, 12 months post surgery and at recurrence and a peritoneal lavage will be collected at time of surgery to detect ptDNA. In a small cohort of patients, another peritoneal lavage will be collected after treatment. Both the ctDNA and ptDNA tests will not be analysed in real time so will not be used to inform the primary outcome.

The cut-off date for primary analysis will be when the final patient enrolled has been followed up for 24 months

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
• Histological confirmed colon adenocarcinoma that is amenable to curative intent surgery
• Evidence of perforation as determined by imaging or the surgeon at the time of resection. Perforation is defined as tumour perforation, perforation of the efferent bowel, or a peri-tumoural abscess.
• For patients without evidence of perforation, clinical T2-T4 tumour of the colon will be enrolled initially, but only those with clinical T4 disease at the time of surgery (as determined by the surgeon at the beginning of surgery) will be eligible for the study
• Staging imaging (CT +/- PET) within 8 weeks of surgery showing no metastatic disease.
• Patients with synchronous localised peritoneal metastatic disease (detected at the time of surgery) that is fully resected at the time of primary tumour resection will be allowed (maximum 10 patients)
• ECOG performance status 0-2
• Patients with life expectancy of at least 2 years
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
• Patients with widespread or unresectable synchronous metastatic peritoneal disease
• Patients with a colorectal cancer metastases (non-peritoneal) - resectable and unresectable
• Patients with rectal cancer
• Patients treated with pre-op radiation or chemo-radiation
• Concurrent or previous other malignancy within 2 years of study entry, except curatively treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer, prostate intraepithelial neoplasm, carcinoma in-situ of the cervix, Bowen’s disease or prostate cancer with a Gleason score =6.
• Pregnant or lactating women
• Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that may preclude compliance with the protocol
