Brief Summary
To acquire blood samples from subjects for various purposes, including: i) determining
the sensitivity and specificity of select DNA methylation markers for the detection of
various types of cancer, ii) identifying benign conditions that may induce false positive
or false negative results, and iii) defining the effects of potential interfering
substances, such as chemotherapy drugs.
Detailed Description
Whole blood, plasma, and/or serum specimens will be collected from patients with active
cancer, patients in cancer remission, patients diagnosed with benign disease, and healthy
volunteers. These blood samples will be used to perform various studies to determine the
utility of select DNA methylation markers for cancer diagnostic or prognostic
indications.

ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on October 31, 2025
Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
