Plasma ctDNA detects minimal residual disease (MRD) and is associated with disease recurrence in curatively treated CRC. In a randomised, double-blinded, phase III study (The ASpirin for Dukes C and high risk Dukes B COLorecTal cancer trial [ASCOLT], NCT00565708) evaluating the benefit of adjuvant aspirin, pts in the Australian and New Zealand cohort underwent prospective collection of plasma at baseline (within 90 days of completing adjuvant chemotherapy), 6 and 12 months, as well as surgical specimens. In a pilot cohort of 51 pts, we studied the utility of an ultra-sensitive ctDNA assay (SafeSEQ, Sysmex Inostics) for MRD detection. |
