About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter Study on Development and Validation of the Performance of a cfDNA Methylation-based Model for Early Cancer Detection (Pan-canceR Early DetectIon projeCT, PREDICT Study)

PREDICT is a prospective, multicenter study for the early detection of pan-cancer through cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation-based model, in which approximately 14,000 participants will be enrolled. The development and validation of the model will be conducted in participants with cancers or benign diseases, along with non-tumor (healthy) individuals through a two-stage approach. The sensitivity and specificity of the model in cancer early detection will be evaluated, and the accuracy of the identification for tissue of origin will be obtained.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensitivity of early detection of cancer and Tissue of origin (TOO) accuracy of a cfDNA methylation-based model when specificity is 90%, 95% or 98% in healthy participants

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Sensitivity and specificity of early detection of cancer and TOO accuracy of a cfDNA methylation-based model

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital at 3 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Qiang Gao, M.D. (+86 021 64041990, gao.qiang@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity of early detection of cancer and Tissue of origin (TOO) accuracy of a cfDNA methylation-based model when specificity is 90%, 95% or 98% in healthy participants (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Mar 2021.
