Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is an observational trial of a potential biomarker, with no influence on the patients' treatment and is therefore non-interventional

1. Colvera and CEA will be taken at the following time points
a. Cohort A (first 5 patients): daily (Mon-Fri) for 1 week prior to starting systemic therapy, and daily (Mon-Fri) during cycle 1 week 1 of systemic therapy. Then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter. An interim analysis will be undertaken to evaluate preliminary results to determine the frequency of testing in subsequent cohorts.
b. Cohort B (next 20 patients): at baseline (prior to commencement of systemic therapy), then frequency of testing is to be determined, likely every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter.
c. Cohort C (next 25 patients): at baseline (prior to commencement of systemic therapy), then frequency as determined by the emerging data from the first 2 cohorts, likely every 4 to 6 weeks.

Upon cessation of all anti-cancer therapy (i.e. patients receiving best supportive care only), Colvera and CEA blood testing will become voluntary only up until death for a maximum of 20 years.

Comparator / control treatment
CtDNA Colvera test will be compared to standard measures of CAE and radiographic imaging

Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 306289 0
Evaluate the quantitative changes of Colvera as a marker of response to therapy as compared with standard measures including CEA and radiographic imaging in metastatic colorectal cancer. CEA and radiographic imaging are standard measures
Timepoint [1] 306289 0
Cohort A (first 5 patients): daily for 1 week prior to sytemic therapy, daily for 1st week of therapy, then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years.
Cohort B (next 20 patients): at baseline (prior to therapy), then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years
Cohort C (next 25 patients): at baseline (prior to treatment) then every 4-6 weeks for a maximum of 3 years.
Primary outcome [2] 306453 0
To evaluate the prognostic value of Colvera as determined by survival outcomes
Timepoint [2] 306453 0
Survival follow-up will continue every 3 months until death.
Secondary outcome [1] 348088 0
Evaluate the time course of changes in Colvera and compare it to changes in standard measures of response including CEA and radiographic imaging.
Timepoint [1] 348088 0
Cohort A (first 5 patients): daily for 1 week prior to sytemic therapy, daily for 1st week of therapy, then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years.
Cohort B (next 20 patients): at baseline (prior to therapy), then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years
Cohort C (next 25 patients): at baseline (prior to treatment) then every 4-6 weeks for a maximum of 3 years.
Secondary outcome [2] 348090 0
Evaluate the dynamic range of the Colvera assay.
We are assessing quantitative range of Colvera values, testing in three patient cohorts
Timepoint [2] 348090 0
Cohort A (first 5 patients): daily for 1 week prior to sytemic therapy, daily for 1st week of therapy, then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years.
Cohort B (next 20 patients): at baseline (prior to therapy), then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years
Cohort C (next 25 patients): at baseline (prior to treatment) then every 4-6 weeks for a maximum of 3 years.
Secondary outcome [3] 348091 0
Determine the sensitivity of Colvera in various advanced or metastatic disease scenarios including 1st line therapy through to refractory disease. The sensitivity will be assessed by measuring the levels of DNA methylation in comparison with standard measures CT imaging and CEA.
Timepoint [3] 348091 0
Cohort A (first 5 patients): daily for 1 week prior to sytemic therapy, daily for 1st week of therapy, then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years.
Cohort B (next 20 patients): at baseline (prior to therapy), then every 2 weeks for 12 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter for a maximum of 3 years
Cohort C (next 25 patients): at baseline (prior to treatment) then every 4-6 weeks for a maximum of 3 years.
Secondary outcome [4] 348599 0
Determine the specificity of Colvera in various advanced or metastatic disease scenarios including 1st line therapy through to refractory disease. The specificity will be assessed by measuring the levels of DNA methylation in comparison to standard measures CT imaging and CEA.
