About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Colorectal Cancer focused on measuring Colorectal Cancer, Liver Metastases, Circulating Tumor DNA

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Both genders are eligible; aged between 18-75 years old; have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy; Patients with liver metastatic colorectal cancer who have achieved R0 resection according to MDT evaluation (including patients with metastases treated with ablation therapy that achieved similar R0 resection effects); Patients with negative ctDNA after surgery; ASA grade <IV and/or ECOG performance status score ≤ 2; Have sufficient understanding of the study and voluntarily sign an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with distant metastases, including pelvic, ovarian, peritoneal, etc.; Patients with a history of other malignancies; Patients with severe liver, kidney, heart and lung dysfunction, coagulation dysfunction, or serious underlying diseases who cannot tolerate chemotherapy; Patients who are allergic to any component in the study; Patients who have received other tumor-related investigational drug therapy; Patients with severe uncontrolled recurrent infections or other serious uncontrolled concurrent diseases; Patients with other factors that may affect the study results or lead to premature termination of the study, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, other serious diseases that require comprehensive treatment (including mental disorders), and serious abnormal laboratory tests; Patients with a history of severe mental illness; Pregnant or lactating women; Patients with other clinical or laboratory conditions that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in the trial.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Watching and waiting group

Adjuvant chemotherapy group

Arm Description

Watch and Wait strategy is one of the treatment strategies of advanced rectal cancer, which recommends no immediate surgery with close surveillance.

Chemotherapy regimens recommended include oxaliplatin-based CapeOx or FOLFOX regimens, or single-agent 5-FU/LV, capecitabine, or combination with targeted therapy.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

3-year progression-free survival
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of any progression or death from any cause.
5-year progression-free survival
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
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
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).

5. 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.

Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Colorectal cancer resection combined with liver metastasis resection.
