Brief Title: Validation of DNA Methylation Markers for Universal and Site-specific Guided Cancer Detection, VANGUARD Study
Official Title: Validation of DNA Methylation Markers for the Universal and Site-Specific Guided Cancer Detection (the VANGUARD Study)
Study ID: NCT06304168
Brief Summary: This study explores the potential value of a new blood test approach for early detection of cancer.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Validate candidate universal and site-specific MDMs in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded primary tumor and control specimens. II. Test MDM-based models for detection of the top 16 most lethal human cancers using a non-invasive biological medium, specifically blood. III. Assess feasibility for detection of cancers using urine samples to assay MDMs, RNA or protein in cell free or extra-cellular vesicles; patients may be the same or unique individuals from Aim 1 and 2. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients undergo blood, urine, and/or residual tissue sample collection and have their medical records reviewed on study.
