Trial summary

With existing evidence showing the difference in miRNA expression levels between non-cancer and cancer groups, the investigators assume that levels of DNA methylation, RNA expression as well as protein concentration will also be dysregulated during disease progression. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study will be carried out in 4 phases, namely Phase 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D. Phase 1A and 1B will be carried out in parallel. Upon the completion of Phase 1A and 1B, Phase 1C will be initiated, followed by Phase 1D, which is the final phase of this study. All four phases involve participant recruitment (except Phase 1A), sample and data collection, and sample data analysis. Subjects recruited for CADENCE will be divided into four groups: (1) Healthy average-risk (2) Increased-risk (3) High-risk and (4) Malignant.

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy average-risk cohort Individuals representing the general population who self-declare to have no cancer history and have no indications suggestive of underlying cancer development. Subjects will be recruited from a state-of-the-art population study.
  • Increased-risk (genetic/familial) cohort Individuals carrying certain germline mutations that predispose the subjects to an increased risk of having cancer than the general population. Subjects will be recruited from Cancer Genetics Service (CGS).
  • High-risk cohort Individuals diagnosed with diseases that have a high risk of progressing to cancer.
  • Malignant cohort Individuals diagnosed with cancer. Wherever possible, samples for the 'Malignant group' should have a representation of each cancer stage.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating (self-declaration), unwilling or unable to provide signed informed consent and has or had received chemotherapy or radiotherapy for cancer treatment and/or any other cancer-related treatment.

About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of a Blood Test for Screening and Early Detection of Multiple Cancers Based on Circulating Cell-free Nucleic Acid Profiles - Project CADENCE (CAncer Detected Early caN be CurEd)

With existing evidence showing the difference in miRNA expression levels between non-cancer and cancer groups, the investigators assume that levels of DNA methylation, RNA expression as well as protein concentration will also be dysregulated during disease progression. Combining the power of multi-omic cancer biomarkers, the investigators hypothesize that the sensitivity and specificity of MiRXES MCST can be significantly improved compared to existing multi-cancer diagnostic tests.

In this study, the investigators propose to develop and validate blood-based, multi-cancer screening tests through a multi-omics approach.

Read the detailed description

This study consists of four (4) objectives:

  • Characterize intra-cellular multi-omic profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues to aid the selection of circulating cancer biomarkers.
  • Select and verify circulating multi-omic cancer biomarkers by characterizing the circulating multi-omic profiles of the peripheral blood of cancer patients, high-risk, increased-risk, and healthy controls, guided by tissue-based cancer omics profiles.
  • Develop multi-cancer screening in vitro diagnostic assay(s) based on the selected blood-borne circulating multi-omic cancer biomarker panel(s) and build algorithm(s) to distinguish cancer cases from control groups.
  • Clinically validate the performance (AUC, sensitivity, specificity) of the multi-cancer screening assay(s) and algorithm(s)

What is being measured

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

  1. To discover novel intracellular RNA and methylated DNA cancer biomarkers in fresh frozen tumor tissues.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years

  2. To select the best-performing multi-omic single-cancer, biomarker panels for each of the cancer types, and develop the corresponding Single-Cancer Early detection Algorithms (SCEAs).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years

  3. To discover and validate novel cell-free RNA and methylated cell-free DNA cancer biomarkers in the peripheral blood of cancer patients.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years

  4. To develop the best-performing multi-omic multi-cancer biomarker panel by integration and/or optimization of single-cancer panels and develop the corresponding Multi-Cancer Early detection Algorithm (MCEA).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years

  5. To develop in vitro diagnostic assay(s) for the Multi-Cancer Screening Test (MCST) and if appropriate Single-Cancer Screening Tests (SCSTs).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years

  6. To evaluate the clinical performance (AUC, sensitivity, specificity, tissue of origin) of the MCST and if appropriate SCSTs to discriminate cancer cases from control groups.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary outcome: • To explore the relationship between MCST/SCSTs with clinical outcomes based on the collection of longitudinal follow-up information from medical records.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Singapore. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To discover novel intracellular RNA and methylated DNA cancer biomarkers in fresh frozen tumor tissues. (time frame: through study completion, an average of 2.5 years). The study lists 6 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?
