This phase II trial tests whether TAS-102, with or without celecoxib, works to improve levels of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA), and control disease in patients with stage II-IV colorectal cancer after completion of chemotherapy. ctDNA is genetic material from tumor cells that can be found and measured in the blood. Chemotherapy drugs, such as TAS-102 and celecoxib, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Researchers want to learn if this measurement can help them predict which patients are at risk for the disease to come back after completing cancer treatment, as well as which patients may not have fully responded after treatment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the ctDNA clearance rate in colorectal cancer patients with minimal residual disease following trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride (TAS-102) without (cohort A) or with celecoxib (cohort B) therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the 3-month ctDNA clearance rate in colorectal cancer patients with minimal residual disease.
II. To determine the disease free survival (DFS) amongst colorectal cancer patients with minimal residual disease following TAS-102 without (cohort A) or with celecoxib (cohort B) therapy.
III. To determine the overall survival (OS) amongst colorectal cancer patients with minimal residual disease following TAS-102 without (cohort A) or with celecoxib (cohort B) therapy.
IV. To determine the safety and tolerability of TAS-102 without (cohort A) or with celecoxib (cohort B) therapy for the treatment of colorectal cancer patients with minimal residual disease.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine markers of response and resistance in archival tumor tissue including but not limited to immune profiles of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, expression of immune markers in tumor cells and microenvironment, and molecular markers (including but not limited to mutations, deletions, and/or amplifications or cancer molecular subtype).
II. To determine changes in profiles of circulating lymphocytes and ctDNA with treatment.
III. To determine baseline characteristics in archival tumor and/or plasma that may predict clinical benefit.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.
COHORT A (COMPLETED): Patients receive trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-5 and 8-12. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood sample collection throughout the study.
COHORT B: Patients receive trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride PO BID on days 1-5 and 8-12 and celecoxib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Celecoxib may be continued beyond 6 months if well tolerated. Patients undergo CT scan or MRI and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days, at 3 and 6 months, and then every 3-6 months for 3 years.
