Brief Title: Detection of Tumor DNA in Blood Samples From Cancer Patients
Official Title: Detection of Tumor DNA in Blood Samples From Patients With Late Stage Cancer and "Healthy Controls"
Study ID: NCT02288754
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to employ genomic detection methodologies to measure the relative amount of tumor nucleic acids in the blood of a cancer patient with diagnosed metastatic disease that is either commencing, currently undergoing or completed cytotoxic chemotherapy treatment. More generally, this approach will allow us to develop a quantitative measure of therapy efficacy via the counting of the relative changes in tumor molecules over the course of treatment.
