Smart Measurement of Circulating Tumor DNA

Smart Measurement of Circulating Tumor DNA: a Tumor-agnostic Computational Tool to Improve Colorectal Cancer Care


Sponsor

Erasmus Medical Center

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

May 16, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to develop a blood-test which can detect colorectal cancer in early stages. Participants will be asked to take an extra blood test, which will be analyzed further in the lab.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating whether a blood test that detects circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) — tiny fragments of cancer DNA found in the bloodstream — can be used to monitor cancer in people with Lynch syndrome who have recently been diagnosed with cancer but have not yet started treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You have confirmed Lynch syndrome (a genetic condition that increases cancer risk), meaning you carry a mutation in an MMR gene or EPCAM gene, OR your cancer tested positive for microsatellite instability - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with any form of cancer and have not yet started treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not have confirmed Lynch syndrome or MSI-H (microsatellite instability high) cancer - You have already begun cancer treatment - You are under 18 Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
