Developing Novel Circulating Epigenetic Biomarkers for Early Detection of Lung Cancer


Sponsor

National Taiwan University Hospital

Enrollment

900 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The investigators aim to identify novel circulating methylated biomarkers for early lung cancer detection as well as to develop new technologies that are clinically applicable with high sensitivity and specificity.


Eligibility

Min Age: 20 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • Subjects suspected or confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer.
  • Subjects who had indeterminate sub-centimeter pulmonary nodules or ground glass opacities discovered by computed tomography.
  • Non-cancer subjects: including healthy volunteers and chronic inflammatory airway diseases such as chronic obstructive airway disease, asthma, and bronchiectasis, etc.
  • Subjects age over 20.

Exclusion Criteria3

  • Pregnancy.
  • Subjects with HIV infection.
  • Unable to or unwilling to give informed consent.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBlood-derived DNA methylation detection

Up to 20 ml of blood will be collected from each subject, and the blood specimen will be processed to isolate plasma cell-free DNA and immune-derived cells (circulating T cells). Circulating methylated tumor/immune signature will then be identified.
