Brief Title: Evaluation of See.d as an Automated Blood Sample Preparator for Multiple Liquid Biopsy Applications
Official Title: Feasibility Evaluation of See.d Pre-Analytical Platform Performance: From Whole Blood to Plasma and SBS Slides for Liquid Biopsy Applications
Study ID: NCT06097156
Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using See.d instrument and SBS slides for preparation of plasma and cytological samples from whole blood. Forty-five participants will be enrolled (20 healthy volunteers and 25 metastatic breast cancer patients) and each participant will be asked to provide a blood sample.
Detailed Description: The goal of this study is the evaluation of a new instrument called See.d, to be used in conjunction with its accessories, Smart Bio Surface (SBS) slides, for preparation of cytological samples (seeded on SBS slides) and plasma from fresh whole blood (within 4-6 hours from collection). Blood samples collected from healthy volunteers will be spiked-in with reference DNA and mock-CTC to mimic a patient sample in order to evaluate the instrument performance through the analysis of several parameters. Blood samples from Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) patients will be processed with See.d instrument installed in a clinical context to perform a preliminary analytical characterization of either cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC). For its feasibility nature, no formal statistics has been planned for this study.
