Natera Study Shows Celecoxib Plus Chemotherapy Cuts Death Risk in Signatera-Positive Colorectal Cancer Patients

Natera Inc. announced the publication of findings from the randomized, phase III CALGB (Alliance)/SWOG 80702 study in JAMA Oncology, with results previously presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology's Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI). The study evaluated the predictive value of postoperative personalized circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using the Signatera™ test in patients with stage III colorectal cancer. In the analysis, patients who were Signatera-positive and received celecoxib in addition to standard chemotherapy experienced over a 40% reduction in the risk of cancer recurrence and death compared to those receiving placebo. No significant benefit was observed in Signatera-negative patients. The findings highlight the potential of Signatera as a prognostic tool and in identifying patients who may benefit from the addition of celecoxib to chemotherapy.
