Inclusion Criteria

Signed and dated IRB/IEC-approved Informed Consent Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (mCRC) Willing to submit unstained archived tumor issue if such tissue is available for analysis from primary surgery or subsequently Willing to undergo pretreatment biopsy Availability of cancerous lesion for biopsy that is both: 1. In a location amenable to image-guided core biopsy; Of adequate size (i.e. diameter at least 1 cm) to permit MGMT and other biomarkers evaluation in sample per investigators judgment Presence of hypermethylation of MGMT promoter evaluated on primary tumor tissue (paraffin embedded block from previous surgery or biopsy). Previous standard treatments including: 5-FU/capecitabine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan in patients with mutated KRAS; 5-FU/capecitabine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, cetuximab and/or panitumumab in patients with wildtype KRAS. Prior bevacizumab treatment is allowed. In order to be included the patients should have received standard available therapies (at least two lines of prior therapies for metastatic disease). Patients treated with oxaliplatin in adjuvant setting should have progressed during or within six months of adjuvant therapy completion.
