A Study to Evaluate the Impact of Liquid Biopsy in Participants With a Clinical Diagnosis of Advanced Cancer
Cancer Gastrointestinal Cancer Metastatic Gastrointestinal Cancer Lung Cancer Metastatic Lung Cancer
Basic Details
How does the trial work?
This trial is recruiting participants aged at least 18 years with clinically diagnosed metastatic lung cancer or metastatic gastrointestinal cancer that have not yet been treated. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare how long it takes to complete a cancer diagnosis using liquid biopsy vs the current standard of care. Participants will undergo both liquid biopsy, which is a blood test used to detect cancerous tumors, and the standard route of cancer diagnosis, including a tissue biopsy.

To participate, you must be at least 18 years old, and have a clinical suspicion of either metastatic lung cancer or metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. It will not allowed participating if you have already received treatment for your diagnosis. You must also not have metastatic cancer that started in your brain, or if you have had another malignant cancer within 5 years before this clinical trial.

If your doctor thinks you are eligible, they may refer you to a clinical trial doctor in your area, who will give you information to help you decide if you would like to participate.
What treatment will I receive if I join this clinical trial?
You will undergo either a liquid biopsy, which will require a blood draw, or undergo tissue biopsy and imaging as part of a standard cancer diagnosis. You will not receive treatment as part of this trial, though you may receive anti-cancer treatment prescribed by your doctor as regular care if eligible.
How often will I be seen and for how long?
The diagnosis period may take from 4-8 weeks. The number of required visits will be determined by the doctor. Treatment will not be included in this clinical trial.
