The PREDICT Study: Prospective Early Detection In a Population at High-risk for Common Malignant Tumor

This is a observational, multicenter study, monitoring the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in people who is at risk of cancers,assessing the sensitivity and specificity of ctDNA detection in early screening of pan-carcinoma.

About this study

2000 patients with positive tumor protein markers or cancer screening were recruited. All patients were tested for ctDNA at enrollment and followed up at 6 months and 1 year. The study was completed at the time of cancer diagnosis or the longest follow-up time (1 year).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Analysis of ctDNA for early detection in cancer high-risk population.

    Time frame: 1 year

    To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of ctDNA for screening in high-risk population. Including the following six types of cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Window period from ctDNA positive to cancer diagnosis.

    Time frame: 1 year

    To evaluate the time from ctDNA positive to cancer diagnosis for patients diagnosed with cancer during the trial period.
