cfDNA 5mC/5hmC Biomarkers to Predict Chemotherapy Response in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

NCT07224815 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The EpiCORE study aims to identify cfDNA-based epigenetic markers predictive of response to first-line chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). By integrating 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) profiling, this study seeks to establish a non-invasive biomarker panel capable of distinguishing responders from non-responders.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07224815

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07224815 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 600 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is City of Hope Medical Center, which has 771 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with CRC (Colorectal Cancer) appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which cfDNA 5mC/5hmC Sequencing (EpiCORE Discovery Phase) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07224815 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
