Summary

This trial compares the efficacy of RO7198457 to watchful waiting in patients with ctDNA positive, resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Stage II (high risk) or Stage III colorectal cancer that's been surgically removed and have detectable ctDNA. They must have started standard chemotherapy within 8 weeks post-surgery and completed at least 3 months of it. Exclusions include uncontrolled illnesses, prior certain treatments, unresolved toxicities from previous therapies (except hair loss and mild neuropathy), known allergies to RO7198457, recent major surgery, active hepatitis B/C, HIV positivity, or other current/past cancers with specific exceptions.
What is being tested?
The trial compares the effectiveness of a new drug called RO7198457 given intravenously against simply monitoring patients without intervention after they've had surgery for colorectal cancer. It focuses on those who still show signs of tumor DNA in their blood after surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects are not detailed here, similar trials involving immunotherapy drugs like RO7198457 may cause immune-related reactions affecting various organs, infusion-related symptoms such as fever or chills, fatigue, skin issues like rash or itching, gastrointestinal problems including diarrhea or colitis.
