Brief summary

Earlier detection of disease recurrence will enable greater treatment options and has strong potential to improve patient outcomes. This project is translational and has the potential to lead to future translational research opportunities, including interventional trials in which therapeutic escalation is offered at the early circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) molecular residual disease (MRD) detection timepoint. Ultimately, the integration of ctDNA into the clinical workflow has the potential to enhance cancer diagnosis, treatment, surveillance, and prognosis, and guide clinical decision-making in this era of personalized precision medicine.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Freedom from progressionThrough completion of study (estimated to be 6.5 years)-Defined as RECIST 1.1 based radiographic or clinical progression, with non-progressors censored at last radiographic follow-up

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Event-free survivalThrough completion of study (estimated to be 6.5 years)-Defined as post-treatment ctDNA detection or RECIST 1.1 based radiographic progression
Disease-specific survivalThrough completion of study (estimated to be 6.5 years)-Defined as death from cancer
Overall survivalThrough completion of study (estimated to be 6.5 years)-Defined as death from any cause
Pathologic complete response rateThrough completion of study (estimated to be 6.5 years)
Locoregional failureThrough completion of study (estimated to be 6.5 years)-Defined as clinical or radiographic progression within the localized tumor/treatment area or regional lymph nodes
Distant-metastasis-free survivalThrough completion of study (estimated to be 6.5 years)-Defined as clinical or radiographic progression outside the localized tumor/treatment area and regional lymph nodes
