Research on Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Monitoring and Individualized Treatment Based on MRD
This study aims to evaluate whether plasma molecular residual disease (MRD), assessed using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), can help optimize the duration of immunotherapy in patients with metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) colorectal cancer.
Patients with MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer can achieve durable responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors, but the optimal duration of treatment remains uncertain. Prolonged immunotherapy may increase treatment burden and the risk of immune-related adverse events. ctDNA-based MRD testing may provide a sensitive method for detecting residual tumor burden and identifying patients who may be able to safely stop treatment.
In this study, patients receiving immunotherapy will undergo serial plasma MRD testing. After completing 1 year of immunotherapy, patients with two consecutive negative MRD results will be randomly assigned to either continue immunotherapy or stop treatment and enter observation. Patients will then be followed every 3 months for 2 years with MRD testing and routine clinical assessments, including imaging and laboratory examinations.
The study will compare clinical outcomes between the two groups and evaluate whether serial plasma MRD monitoring can support a more individualized approach to the duration of immunotherapy in MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer.

实验性的:MRD-Guided Treatment Discontinuation
Patients with dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer who achieve an objective response after 1 year of immunotherapy and have two consecutive negative plasma MRD results will be randomized to discontinue immunotherapy.
Patients will enter observation and undergo routine clinical and imaging assessments, with plasma MRD testing every 3 months until the study endpoint.

有源比较器:Continued Immunotherapy
Patients with dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer who achieve an objective response after 1 year of immunotherapy and have two consecutive negative plasma MRD results will be randomized to continue immunotherapy for a total treatment duration of 2 years.
Patients will undergo routine clinical and imaging assessments, with plasma MRD testing every 3 months until the study endpoint.

其他:Observational Cohort
Patients who achieve disease control for at least 6 months after immunotherapy will undergo plasma MRD testing and prospective follow-up.
The study will not interfere with subsequent treatment decisions, including discontinuation or continuation of immunotherapy, surgery, or local treatment.
Patients will undergo routine clinical follow-up and serial MRD monitoring according to the study schedule.
