About this study

Capillary-venous paired data collection.

Read the detailed description

An iterative data collection study to continuously assess the performance of our Entia Liberty device with cancer patients and healthy volunteers. Our device enables a full blood count from a finger prick sample. The participants enrolled in the study will attend the study site for their routine venepuncture blood test. Once enrolled, they will have a finger prick test obtained by a Healthcare Professional (trained member of the clinical research team) to be tested on an Entia Liberty device. Within 4 hours of that same participant's routine venepuncture, a small amount of blood from the venepuncture will be also tested on a second Entia Liberty device in the laboratory. All the results from the capillary finger prick Liberty test, routine venepuncture blood test (gold standard reference method) and the venous blood Liberty test will be compared against each other to regularly assess that the improvements made on the measurement system of the device is sufficient.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT05926362
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cancer CohortThis cohort are participants who are currently undergoing Systemic Anti-Cancer Treatment
Healthy CohortThis cohort are participants who do not have any underlying conditions, to be used as a control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Coefficient of Variance of the difference between the lab results and the Liberty results

    the coefficient of variance (CV) between the lab results and the liberty results would be compared. a lower CV value signifies a better performance of our device.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Bias (including %bias and absolute bias) between the lab results and the Liberty results

    Bias and absolute difference between the lab results and the liberty results would be compared. a lower bias signifies a better performance of our device.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Regression between the lab results and the Liberty results

    Regression between the lab results and the liberty results would be compared. a value closer to 1.00 signifies a better performance of the Liberty device

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation between the Liberty results of different specimen types (capillary blood vs venous blood)

    Regression, bias, CV between the Liberty results of the specimen types from the same participants to be compared for accuracy and precision.

    Measured: 3 yaers

  2. Correlation between the performance of Liberty device between cancer patients and healthy volunteers

    Observe and evaluate the difference in performance (bias, regression, CV) of the Liberty device when used with cancer patients and healthy volunteers

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oncology and Medical Devices, run by Entia Ltd at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Coefficient of Variance of the difference between the lab results and the Liberty results (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 3 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 29 Jul 2026.
