Summary

COPERNIC is an international, multicentre, single-arm study. Chemo-refractory mCRC subjects who meet all eligibility criteria will be treated with standard systemic chemotherapy (the decision about the treatment regimen being made by the treating physician) and undergo tumour assessment by standard imaging (either CT scan or MRI scan) at baseline and every 8 or 12 weeks until evidence of tumour progression. Response to treatment will be assessed by the local investigators according to the RECIST criteria version 1.1. Blinded, independent central review of the imaging scan will be carried out, this having no impact on treatment decisions thatwhich will remain the prerogative of the treating physician.

Serial blood samples from study subjects will be collected at pre-defined time points for ctDNA testing. Also, archived tumour tissue from each subject will be collected. Prospective and retrospective ctDNA analyses on blood samples will be carried out, and dynamics of ctDNA will be correlated with treatment outcomes prognosis.

Blood Sample Collection

For subjects receiving treatments with a 2- or 4-weekly schedule, samples for ctDNA testing will be collected at the following timepoints: Blood : * Before treatment start (day 1) * 2 weeks after treatment start (day 15) Plasma : * Before the treatment start (day 1) * 4 weeks after treatment start (day 29) * 8 or 12 weeks after treatment start and every 8 or 12 weeks thereafter (i.e. at the same time of each imaging tumour assessment) until evidence of progressive disease by RECIST 1.1 For subjects receiving treatments with a 3-weekly schedule, samples for ctDNA testing will be collected at the following timepoints: Blood : * Before treatment start (day 1) * 3 weeks after treatment start (day 22) Plasma : * Before treatment start (day 1) * 6 weeks after treatment start (day 43) * 8 or 12 weeks after treatment start and every 8 or 12 weeks thereafter (i.e. at the same time of each imaging tumour assessment) until evidence of progressive disease by RECIST 1.1
