Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Colon cancer

A personalised approach based on blood and tumor characteristics to guide the post-surgical clinical path of patients with operable locoregional colon cancer

EU CTIS ID: 2023-509851-15-00

What this study is testing

To prove that a personalized ctDNA-guided genomic-based targeted treatment strategy can improve the clinical outcome of Stage III and High-Risk Stage II CC patients as respect to a conventional adjuvant chemotherapy approach.
