A tumor-naive ctDNA assay detects minimal residual disease in resected stage II or III colorectal cancer and predicts recurrence: subset analysis from the GALAXY study in CIRCULATE-Japan
Purpose: Analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may enable early identification of patients likely to relapse, presenting an opportunity for early interventions and improved outcomes. Tumor-naïve plasma-only approaches for molecular residual disease (MRD) assessment accelerate turnaround time, enabling rapid treatment decisions and ongoing surveillance. Experimental Design: Plasma samples were obtained from 80 study participants with stage II or III colorectal cancer (CRC) selected from CIRCULATE-Japan GALAXY. MRD status was assessed using a tumor-naïve ctDNA assay (xM) that integrates methylation and genomic variant data, delivering a binary call. MRD was assessed at 4 weeks post-surgery (landmark timepoint (LMT)) using methylation and genomic variant data and longitudinally (median 22.1 months) using only methylation data. Results: At LMT, 69/80 study participants were evaluable (36 recurrent; 33 non-recurrent). Of recurrent study participants, 22/36 had detectable ctDNA (MRD+) at LMT and 29/33 non-recurrent study participants had undetectable ctDNA (MRD-), yielding clinical sensitivity of 61.1% and specificity of 87.9%. Additionally, 74 study participants were evaluable for longitudinal performance with a clinical sensitivity of 83.3% and specificity of 89.5%. Median lead time from first MRD+ result to recurrence was 4.77 months overall, and 5.30 months for study participants with no adjuvant treatment. At 12 weeks post-surgery, MRD status strongly correlated with disease-free survival (DFS) [adj. HR 9.69], outperforming carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) correlation [HR 2.13]. Conclusions: This tumor-naïve MRD assay demonstrated clinically meaningful performance at LMT and longitudinally, accurately predicting clinical recurrence. MRD status was a stronger prognostic biomarker to DFS compared to standard of care CEA.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Cancer Research is a journal focusing on groundbreaking research in cancer, specifically in the areas where the laboratory and the clinic intersect. Our primary interest lies in clinical trials that investigate novel treatments, accompanied by research on pharmacology, molecular alterations, and biomarkers that can predict response or resistance to these treatments. Furthermore, we prioritize laboratory and animal studies that explore new drugs and targeted agents with the potential to advance to clinical trials. We also encourage research on targetable mechanisms of cancer development, progression, and metastasis.
