- Registration Number
- NCT03750175
- Lead Sponsor
- Karen-Lise Garm Spindler
- Brief Summary
The present study will investigate the feasibility and clinical value of using circulating tumor DNA as selection for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.
- Detailed Description
The primary aim of this prospective study is to investigate if cfDNA in plasma is feasible and reliable for selection of mCRC patients who will benefit of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy
Secondary, to analyze developments in mutational status as reflected by cfDNA in plasma during therapy and at time of progression

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method OS 3 years Overall survival rate
Retrospective concordance analysis By end of study, expected after 3 years Retrospective comparison of tumor mutation and plasma mutation analysis at baseline
Disease control rate 1 year Rate of disease control
Resistance mutations At time of progression, data analysis expected after 3 years Rate of Ectoderm mutations at time of progression
Lead time At time of progression, data analysis expected after 3 years Calcualted lead time between radiologically detected progression and molecular biologically detected ( by Ectoderm and other resistance mutations) in the ctDNA.
