Study Summary

This study measures the levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer before, during, and after treatment to find out if the presence or absence of ctDNA in patient's blood using the Signatera test can be used to gauge how different treatments may affect rectal cancer. ctDNA is DNA from the rectal cancer that is circulating in the blood. The purpose of this study is to understand if the way rectal tumors respond to standard treatment can be associated with varying levels of ctDNA.

Primary Outcome

cCR following TNT will be analyzed using the TNT analysis set. Proportions of participants that achieved cCR will be calculated and the exact 95% confidence interval (CI) will be presented.
