Comparing IV telisotuzumab adizutecan versus standard care for colorectal cancer patients who are ctDNA-positive with no visible disease
Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Open-Label Study Comparing Telisotuzumab Adizutecan (ABBV-400) Monotherapy to the Current Standard of Care in Subjects With Post Adjuvant ctDNA Positive Colorectal Cancer and No Radiographic Evidence of Disease (NED)
Run by AbbVie · NCT07023289 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This tests whether an IV drug, telisotuzumab adizutecan, or standard care can help adults with colorectal cancer who are ctDNA-positive after adjuvant therapy but have no visible disease on scans.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with histologically confirmed colon or rectal adenocarcinoma who completed at least three months of platinum-based doublet adjuvant chemotherapy, have no radiographic evidence of disease, are ctDNA-positive after adjuvant therapy, and can provide surgical tumor material for testing are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with visible radiographic disease, who are ctDNA-negative after adjuvant therapy, who did not receive the required adjuvant chemotherapy regimen, or who cannot provide tumor tissue are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This randomized Phase 2 interventional trial enrolls about 140 adults with resected colorectal adenocarcinoma who are ctDNA-positive after finishing adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy and have no radiographic evidence of disease. Participants are assigned to one of two arms: intravenous telisotuzumab adizutecan alone or standard of care alone, with tumor tissue submitted for biomarker (c-Met) testing and personalized ctDNA panel confirmation. The study monitors safety (adverse events) and change in disease activity over a planned duration of roughly 51 months, with regular on-site visits for infusions and follow-up imaging and blood tests. The protocol includes requirements for available surgical tumor material and timely start of treatment after ctDNA confirmation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce cancer recurrence in patients with molecular evidence of residual disease and provide a targeted adjuvant option for ctDNA-positive colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have gone: ctDNA-directed adjuvant strategies are an active and promising area of research with early signals of benefit, but telisotuzumab adizutecan itself is investigational in this setting and not yet proven effective.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Has histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum. * Surgical tumor material should be available for Signatera ctDNA personalized panel design. * Must have received at least 3 months of platinum-based doublet adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant chemotherapy but may not have been treated with topoisomerase inhibitors as part of adjuvant therapy. * Has no radiographic evidence of disease (NED) confirmed by chest, abdominal, and pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans within 6 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) dosing. * Circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) positive within 1 year either after the end of adjuvant therapy or after tumor resection in subjects who are receiving neoadjuvant therapy and begin treatment within 6 weeks after ctDNA positivity is confirmed (reported). * For participants with rectal cancer a total of at least 3 months of perioperative and/or adjuvant platinum-based doublet must have been administered. Please note that short course radiation or long-course chemoradiation does not count towards this 3-month minimum of platinum-doublet perioperative and/or adjuvant therapy. Exclusion Criteria: * No availability of surgical tissue sample. * History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required treatment with systemic steroids, or any evidence of active ILD or pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan.
