ctDNA-guided anti-EGFR retreatment in metastatic colorectal cancer
Official title: Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of ctDNA-driven Selection for Anti-EGFR Retreatment in a Real World Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients Cohort
Run by Niguarda Hospital · NCT07536113 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will see if using a ctDNA blood test to pick people with metastatic colorectal cancer for anti‑EGFR retreatment leads to better treatment outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with MSS, RAS/BRAF wild‑type metastatic colorectal cancer who were screened by ctDNA within the MEN1611‑02 program and have available outcome data after the ctDNA draw.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without ctDNA screening or without outcome data after the ctDNA draw, those enrolled and treated within the MEN1611‑02 interventional trial, or patients with non‑wild‑type RAS/BRAF or MSI‑high tumors would not be candidates for inclusion or likely to benefit from this analysis.

What this trial studies
This is a retrospective, observational, international multicenter effort to collect clinical, molecular and outcome data from MSS, RAS/BRAF wild‑type metastatic colorectal cancer patients who were screened by ctDNA within the MEN1611‑02 protocol. The study compiles archival tissue and liquid biopsy molecular profiles (RAS/BRAF/PIK3CA), timing of sample collection, patient demographics, ECOG performance status, metastasis sites, prior treatments and the first treatment given after the ctDNA draw. Responses will be recorded using RECIST v1.1 and outcomes will include response rate, disease control rate, duration of response, progression‑free survival, time‑to‑treatment failure and overall survival. Analyses will compare real‑world outcomes for patients selected or not selected for anti‑EGFR retreatment based on ctDNA findings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help clinicians use a simple blood test to identify patients likely to benefit from anti‑EGFR retreatment, avoiding ineffective therapy and tailoring care.
How similar studies have gone: Smaller studies and emerging clinical reports have shown promise for ctDNA‑guided anti‑EGFR rechallenge, but the approach remains exploratory and not yet definitively proven.
