What is being tested
- Drug RO7198457 intravenous (IV)
- Other Observational group (no intervention)
What it is measuring
Disease-free survival (DFS)
This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.
Phase 2. Tests whether the treatment works well enough to be worth a larger trial. Usually too small to prove it changes survival.
How the researchers describe it
This is a multi-site, open-label, Phase II, randomized, trial to compare the efficacy of RO7198457 versus watchful waiting in patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer.
Written by the trial’s sponsor, quoted from its ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Who the trial is looking for
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients must be a man or woman of at least 18 years of age.
- Patients must have 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). Stage II (high risk) colon cancer is defined as Stage II disease with any of the following risk factors for recurrence:
- T4
- Grade ≥ 3.
- Clinical presentation with bowel obstruction or perforation.
- Histological signs of vascular, lymphatic or perineural invasion.
- < 12 nodes evaluated after surgery.
- 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) with or without (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy (prior to hepatectomy), and planned adjuvant chemotherapy.
- For the Biomarker Cohort: patients with tumors of the colon, including but not limited to, colon adenocarcinoma, carcinoid tumors (including goblet cell carcinoid/adenocarcinoma), and tumors of the appendix, whose tumors were surgically resected and are planned for adjuvant chemotherapy (per institutional standards), can be included.
- Patients must have…

Where it is running
Running at 86 sites. Listed in: Belgium, Canada, Germany, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States.
Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.
Worth asking your oncology team
Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.
- Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
- Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
- What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
- What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
