Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified, clinically-characterized whole blood specimens for use in developing and evaluating the performance of new biomarker assays for detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surveillance Other: Blood Sample Collection

Detailed Description:
Subjects with untreated Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and subjects undergoing HCC surveillance will be enrolled and have blood samples collected. Subjects undergoing HCC surveillance will be followed for up to 6 months. Another blood sample will be collected at the 6 month visit which will be scheduled no longer than 6 months from enrollment.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
HCC Surveillance
Approximately 1400 HCC surveillance subjects (controls) will be enrolled.
 Other: Blood Sample Collection
Surveillance subjects will have a blood sample collected and will be followed for up to 6 months. A second blood sample will be collected at the 6 month visit which will be scheduled no longer than 6 months from enrollment.
HCC
Approximately 700 subjects with untreated clinically diagnosed HCC will be enrolled.
 Other: Blood Sample Collection
HCC subjects will have one blood sample collected.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Biomarker Identification [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Biomarkers under evaluation include differential methylation of nucleic acids and altered expression of proteins in blood from subjects with HCC compared to those without (but are at risk of developing the disease so are under surveillance)


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Blood samples will not be used other than to develop and evaluate the performance of blood-based biomarker assays to detect cancer. Samples may be stored for up to 10 years.

Layout table for eligibility information
Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population
Subjects 18 years of age and older who have clinically diagnosed HCC or are negative for HCC following disease surveillance will be enrolled. Approximately 2100 subjects will be enrolled into the two groups, HCC subjects and control subjects.
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All Subjects:

    1. Subject is 18 years of age or older
    2. Subject understands the study procedures and is able to provide informed consent to participate in the study and authorization for release of data, including personal health data, to the study investigator and sponsor

HCC Subjects:

1. Subject has a recent (within 6 months of enrollment) untreated clinically diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma as defined by ≥1 cm lesion exhibiting arterial phase hyperenhancement in combination with washout appearance and/or capsule by 4 phase CT scan or multiphase contrast enhanced MRI or biopsy is positive for HCC.

Control Subjects:

  1. Non-cancer subject undergoing routine imaging surveillance for HCC

  2. Definitive lack of HCC within 3 months prior to enrollment as defined by negative imaging, for HCC.

    1. Control Group 1 - negative by ultrasound
    2. Control Group 2 - negative by CT or MRI

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known cancer diagnosis within the past 5 years (with the exceptions of basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers).
  2. Chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy within 5 years prior to enrollment/sample collection.
  3. Prior or current treatment with sorafenib, regorafenib, or other treatment indicated for HCC.
  4. Any HCC treatment prior to enrollment/blood sample collection (e.g., surgery, ablation, embolization, pharmacotherapy, radiotherapy, liver transplant or other treatment indicated for HCC).
  5. IV contrast (e.g. CT and MRI) within 1 day [or 24 hours] of blood collection.
  6. Less than 3 days between fine needle aspiration (FNA) of target pathology and blood collection.
  7. Less than 7 days between biopsy (other than FNA) of target pathology and blood collection.
  8. Individual has a condition the Investigator believes would interfere with his or her ability to provide informed consent, comply with the study protocol, which might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the person at undue risk.
