Overview
Brief Summary
This is an exploratory, translational, non-interventional and multi-centre clinical study.
Detailed Description
Cohort A will consist of 100 CRAC patients with stage II/III resectable disease due for adjuvant chemotherapy. Cohort B will consist of 30 patients with stage II resectable disease for observation only. Both cohorts will have a follow up period of up to 2 years, post chemotherapy for cohort A and post resection for cohort B.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patient must be able to give written informed consent
- •Histologically or cytologically confirmed CRAC
- •Cohort A: colorectal cancer patients with stage II/III resectable disease due for adjuvant chemotherapy OR Cohort B: colorectal cancer patients with stage II resectable disease for observation only
- •Age ≥ 18 years
- •Treatment with curative intent
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0 - 2
Exclusion Criteria
- •Presence of a medical or psychiatric condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would potentially pose a risk to the patient when participating in this trial

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Disease free survival or progression free survival
Time Frame: Duration of treatment and follow up, expected to be 4 years
Identify plasma biomarkers with improved sensitivity to predict early recurrence of CRAC and presence of residual occult metastases following completion of adjuvant chemotherapy
Secondary Outcomes
- Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and concordance index(Duration of treatment and follow up period, expected to be 4 years)
- To investigate the correlation between biomarkers identified in plasma samples with the expression of the same biomarkers at tissue level.(For the duration of treatment and follow up, expected to be 4 years)
