Pee predicts cancer treatment success?
NCT ID NCT06904677
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether proteins in urine can help doctors predict how patients with advanced colorectal cancer will respond to treatment given before surgery. Researchers will collect urine samples from 400 participants before and after therapy and use advanced technology to find protein markers linked to tumor shrinkage. The goal is to develop a non-invasive way to guide treatment decisions.

Who is studied
This study will enroll patients aged 18 to 75 years with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced colorectal cancer (LACC), defined as clinical stage cT3-4 and/or N+ without distant metastasis (M0) as determined by imaging (CT and/or PET-CT). Eligible participants must be treatment-naïve, with no prior exposure to anti-tumor therapies such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. All patients must be clinically assessed as suitable candidates for neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection and must be able to tolerate and complete the prescribed treatment regimen. In addition, participants must be willing and able to provide urine samples before and after neoadjuvant therapy and must sign written informed consent prior to enrollment. Patients will be excluded if they have a history of or concurrent diagnosis of other malignancies; suffer from serious hepatic, renal, cardiovascular, or metabolic conditions that may interfere with urinary protein metab

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18-75 years; 2. Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced colorectal cancer (cT3-4 and/or N+); 3. Planned to undergo neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection; 4. No evidence of distant metastasis (M0) confirmed by imaging (CT and/or PET-CT); 5. Clinically assessed as being able to tolerate and complete the full course of neoadjuvant treatment; 6. No prior anti-tumor therapy (e.g., targeted therapy, immunotherapy) before the initiation of treatment; 7. Willing and able to provide urine samples as required; 8. Written informed consent obtained. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of or concurrent diagnosis with other malignancies; 2. Presence of severe hepatic, renal, cardiovascular, or metabolic diseases that may affect urinary protein metabolism; 3. Recent use of medications known to affect protein metabolism (e.g., glucocorticoids, high-dose antibiotics); 4. Urinary tract infection or other diseases known to cause abnormal urinary protein levels (e.g., nephrotic syndrome); 5. Any other condition deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigators.
