Filter by:Improving personalized cancer treatments and finding the best strategies to treat each patient relies on using new diagnostic technologies. Currently, for colorectal cancer, the methods used to decide who gets additional post-surgery treatment are suboptimal. Some patients get too much treatment, while others do not get enough. There is a new way to explore if there is any cancer left in a patient's body using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in blood samples. This can help decide who needs more treatment after surgery. Even though many tests have been developed, it has yet to be determined which test performs best at relevant time points. The GUIDE.MRD consortium is a group of experts, including scientists, technology, and pharmaceutical companies. The consortium is working on creating a reliable standard for the ctDNA tests, validating their clinical utility, and collecting data to help decide on the best treatment for each patient. FRENCH-MRD-CRC is the French study of the european GUIDE.MRD project.
This is an open-label Phase II trial that will investigate the use of neoadjuvant CAPEOX chemotherapy with Atezolizumab followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized resectable pMMR adenocarcinoma of the colon with a target accrual of 30 patients. The investigators will explore if appropriately timed neoadjuvant CAPEOX with anti-PD-L1 mAb (Atezolizumab) can be administered safely and feasibly for 12 weeks, and that this combination will lead to improved clinical response associated with enhanced numbers of immune cells in surgically resected colon tumors. Participants will receive 4 cycles of atezolizumab in combination with 4 cycles of CAPEOX (atezolizumab will be administered prior to chemotherapy) before standard of care surgical resection. Each cycle of neoadjuvant therapy is 3 weeks. Following surgery, participants still considered to be at high-risk of recurrence (per NCCN guidelines) will receive further adjuvant chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPEOX),for 6 and 4 cycles respectively (for a total of 12 weeks), based on the discretion of the treating oncologist/investigator. Participants will be followed up for an EFFICACY follow-up phase every 2 months during the first 6 months after surgery (months 1, 3, 6) and thereafter participants will enter a SURVIVAL follow-up phase and will be seen every 6 months starting at month 12 until month 36. During this the efficacy and survival follow up visits blood samples will be obtained for purposes of obtaining circulating DNA and stool and optional blood samples for storage for future exploratory analysis. Additionally, during these follow up visits, participants will be asked to complete quality of life questionnaires
