简要总结
This study looks at the level of circulating tumor elements (cancer cells or DNA pieces floating in the blood) and how it may be related to how the tumor responds to standard treatment in patients with rectal cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Researchers will also compare the level and genetic characteristics of circulating tumor elements between individuals with rectal cancer and healthy individuals to understand how they may change over time. Information from this study may help researchers better understand rectal cancer.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish the rate of circulating tumor elements (CTE), including but not limited to circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) detection in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), relative to other stages.
II. To assess changes in detected CTEs associated with neoadjuvant therapy in patients with LARC.
III. To correlate CTEs with neoadjuvant treatment response as an indicator of disease risk.

研究组 & 干预措施
Ancillary-Correlative (biospecimen collection)
Patients and healthy participants undergo collection of blood sample at baseline. Patients may also undergo collection of blood sample collections during tumor surgery, 4 weeks after surgery or after completion of treatment if you are not surgery, 8 weeks after the last dose of chemotherapy, 1 year after surgery or 1 year after completion of treatment if not having surgery, 2 years after surgery or 2 years after completion of treatment if not having surgery, and within 6 years after treatment or at the end of the 6 year follow-up if the disease gets worse with treatment or comes back.
干预措施: Biospecimen Collection (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in circulating tumor cells status
时间窗: Baseline and 8 weeks after completion of treatment
A McNemar's test will be used to test whether neoadjuvant therapy (NEO) provided any improvement in the proportion of patients with any CTC. The CTC counts at baseline versus 8 weeks after completion of treatment will be compared with a paired t-test.
Proportion of treatment naive locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients with circulating tumor cells (CTC)
时间窗: Baseline up to 6 years
The proportion of patients with any CTC will be calculated with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Additionally, the actual CTC count will be plotted with a box-plot. Proportions of patients with 2 or more, and 3 or more CTCs will be calculated. Will also explore correlations between the presence of 1 or more CTC and primary tumor characteristics using Chi-Squared or Fischer's exact tests as appropriate.
