Disease stage

Required: Stage II, III, IV (CLM COHORT) (AJCC 2017)

Grade: Grade ≥ 3 (for high risk Stage II colon cancer)

Stage II/Stage III rectal cancer or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 2017 that has been surgically totally resected (R0 confirmed by pathology report). For the CLM Cohort: patients must have metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) (Stage IV) with resected CLM (synchronous and metachronous CLM within 6 months of initial diagnosis) per AJCC 2017, after standard of care (SoC) primary resection and curative-intent hepatectomy (R0 confirmed by pathology report)

Performance status

ECOG 0–1(Restricted strenuous activity)

Prior therapy

Must have received: adjuvant chemotherapy — post-surgery

The patient has started a standard of care AdCTx preferably within 8 weeks but no later than 10 weeks post-surgery and has completed at least 3 months of treatment of a 3- or a 6-month course of chemotherapy (including rest days). For the CLM Cohort: patient must have completed AdCTx with or without (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy for up to 6 months in total or total intended amount determined by care providers per SoC. AdCTx must have started preferably within 8 weeks, but no later than 10 weeks, after hepatectomy. For the Biomarker Cohort: patient must have received at least one cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy per institutional standards.

Cannot have received: neo-adjuvant (radio)chemotherapy

Exception: Exception for the CLM Cohort: (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy prior to curative-intent hepatectomy is accepted.

Prior therapy with any of the following: Neo-adjuvant (radio)chemotherapy prior to surgery.
