Study summary

This trial has been designed to prove the feasibility of using liquid biopsy detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) to guide the postsurgical clinical management of early colon cancer patients. Moreover, it is important to define if conventional (CAPOX) versus intensive (FOLFOXIRI) adjuvant chemotherapy could convert plasma ctDNA positive into a ctDNA negative status.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. CIRCULATE-SPAIN-01 trial written informed consent. 2. Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years. 3. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of operable stage II or stage III Colon Cancer. 4. Postoperative, ctDNA positive. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1. 6. Normal organ functions, as follows: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/μL. * Platelets ≥ 100.000/μL. * Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL OR ≥ 5.6 mmol/L. * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper level of normality (ULN) OR direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for participants with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 x ULN. * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN. Note: Synchronous primary tumours are accepted. Note: Patients with rectal cancer above the peritoneal reflection, who have not undergone postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy and who have risk factors, may be included in the trial. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients having a MicroSatellite Instability High (MSI-H) or MisMatch Repair Deficient (MMRd) tumor are excluded from the study (done according to standard clinical practice). 2. History of another neoplastic disease, unless in remission for ≥ 5 years. Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ (e.g., breast carcinoma, cervical cancer in situ) that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded. 3. Had an incomplete diagnostic colonoscopy and/or polyps' removal for patients in whom the remaining colon was not removed or explored. Note: Patients with intraoperative complete colonoscopy or early perioperative complete colonoscopy and/or patients with incomplete colonoscopy, but who do have a CT Colono or Intraoperative Colonoscopy, may be eligible to be recruited in the study. 4. Macroscopic or microscopic evidence of residual tumor (R1 or R2 resections). Patients should never have had any evidence of metastatic disease (including presence of tumor cells in the peritoneal lavage). 5. Current treatment with another investigational drug or participation in another investigational study. 6. Patient unable to comply with the study protocol owing to psychological, social or geographical reasons. 7. Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study. 8. Inadequate contraception (male or female patients) if of childbearing or procreational potential. 9. Current clinically unresolved cardiovascular disease. 10. Acute or subacute intestinal occlusion or history of inflammatory bowel disease. 11. Pre-existing neuropathy \> grade 1. Known grade 3 or 4 allergic reaction to any of the components of the treatment. 12. Has a known DihydroPyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency. 13. Has a known Gilbert Syndrome or UGT1A1 homozygous \*28/\*28 germline variant. 14. Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Note: No HIV testing is required. 15. Has a known history of Hepatitis B (defined as Hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] reactive) or known active Hepatitis C virus infection. Note: no testing for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C is required. 16. Has a known history of active Bacillus Tuberculosis (TB).

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Proportion of patients with ctDNA clearance following FOLFOXIRI treatment — Prior to treatment initiation, immediately after adjuvant chemotherapy completion, and every 4 months for 2 years (phase IIa).
    Proportion of patients with detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) prior to treatment who become ctDNA-negative following intensive adjuvant treatment with FOLFOXIRI.
  • Difference in ctDNA clearance rate between FOLFOXIRI and CAPOX(FOLFOXIRI) versus conventional adjuvant therapy (CAPOX). — Prior to treatment initiation, immediately after adjuvant chemotherapy completion, and every 4 months for 2 years (phase IIb).
    Proportion of patients with detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) prior to treatment who become ctDNA-negative following adjuvant chemotherapy, compared between the intensive treatment group (FOLFOXIRI) and the standard-of-care group (CAPOX).
