PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To perform blood-based genomic profiling on patients with treatment refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) to facilitate accrual to molecularly assigned therapies.
II. To facilitate clinically annotated genomic analyses.
OUTLINE:
Patients submit blood samples for genetic testing.

- The proportion of patients who have an actionable genomic profile [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]This is defined as a patient who received a trial recommendation per the COLOMATE companion trial recommendation form. Will be presented as a point estimate along with a 95% confidence interval (by Wald asymptotic confidence limit).
- Companion trial enrollment [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]This is defined as a patient who has an actionable genomic profile that enrolls in their recommended companion trial. Will be presented as a point estimate along with a 95% confidence interval (by Wald asymptotic confidence limit).

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histological confirmation of adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum that is metastatic and/ or unresectable
- Progression, intolerance, or contraindication to a fluoropyrimidine (e.g., 5- fluorouracil or capecitabine), oxaliplatin, irinotecan, an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody (bevacizumab, ziv-aflibercept, or ramucirumab), and an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) if tumor has deficient mismatch repair proteins (dMMR) or is microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)
-
For patients with KRAS and NRAS wild-type tumors, progression, intolerance, or contraindication to an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (cetuximab or panitumumab)
- Note: If tissue is known to be positive for HER2 expression (IHC 3+) or the tumor has ERBB2 (HER2) amplification detected by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified assay, prior treatment with anti-EGFR therapy is not required
- At least one site of disease that is measurable by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (version 1.1) that has not been previously irradiated; if the patient has had previous radiation to the target lesion(s), there must be evidence of progression since the radiation

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1, or 2
- Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and has signed the informed consent document
-
Satisfy at least one of the following two conditions:
- Willing and able to provide blood sample for screening purposes
- Guardant 360 testing completed =< 60 days prior to registration
Exclusion Criteria:
- Evidence within the last 3 years of another malignancy which required systemic treatment. EXCEPTIONS: Non-melanotic skin cancer, carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix, or localized prostate cancer with a current PSA of < 1.0mg/dL on 2 successive evaluations, at least 90 days apart, with the most recent evaluation no more than 4 weeks prior to registration
- Unable or unwilling to abide by the study protocol or cooperate fully with the investigator or designee
- History of solid organ transplantation
- Pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the next 12 months
