ctDNA-guided Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in resectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients.The main question it aims to answer is whether the 3-year progression-free survival rate (PFS) of "watching and waiting" is non-inferior to adjuvant chemotherapy in postoperative ctDNA-negative resectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients.Participants will undergo ctDNA testing after resection of colorectal cancer liver metastasis, and will be randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or "watching and waiting" treatment strategy. The researchers will compare the outcomes between the two groups to see if the PFS between the two groups is similar.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Watching and waiting group Watch and Wait strategy is one of the treatment strategies of advanced rectal cancer, which recommends no immediate surgery with close surveillance. |
Procedure: Colorectal cancer resection combined with liver metastasis resection.
The preferred surgical approach is resection of the corresponding colon segment with regional lymph node dissection. If conditions permit, synchronous resection of the primary lesion and liver metastases of colorectal cancer can be performed to achieve curative resection.
|
| Active Comparator: Adjuvant chemotherapy group Chemotherapy regimens recommended include oxaliplatin-based CapeOx or FOLFOX regimens, or single-agent 5-FU/LV, capecitabine, or combination with targeted therapy. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 3-year progression-free survival [3 years after operation.]
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of any progression or death from any cause.
- 5-year progression-free survival [5 years after operation.]
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of any progression or death from any cause.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- 3-year overall survival [3 years after operation.]
Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. For patients who are still alive at the time of the final analysis, the date of the last contact will be recorded.

Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. For patients who are still alive at the time of the final analysis, the date of the last contact will be recorded.
- Complications [5 years.]
When evaluating the safety and tolerability of adjuvant therapy, researchers typically assess adverse events (AEs) based on their incidence and severity, and then grade them according to the NCI CTCAE version 5.0. NCI CTCAE 5.0 categorizes AEs into 5 grades based on severity, including grade 1 (mild), grade 2 (moderate), grade 3 (severe), grade 4 (life-threatening), and grade 5 (death).
