Guardant Reveal for Cancer
(ORACLE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine if a new blood test, the ctDNA assay (Guardant Reveal), can detect cancer recurrence after treatment for early-stage solid tumors. It evaluates the test's effectiveness across various cancers, including certain types of breast, lung, and pancreatic cancers. Suitable participants have completed treatments for these cancers and plan regular follow-ups to monitor for recurrence. The trial seeks participants willing to provide blood samples and share clinical data over several years. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on assessing the test's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants the opportunity to contribute to significant advancements in cancer detection.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the Guardant Reveal ctDNA assay is safe for detecting recurrence in early-stage solid tumors?
Research shows that tests like Guardant Reveal and Guardant360 CDx are generally well-tolerated. These tests analyze tiny DNA fragments in the blood and have been used safely in other contexts. No major safety issues have been reported, indicating that patients usually do not experience serious side effects. Although Guardant Reveal is relatively new, it relies on technology already approved by the FDA for other uses, suggesting it is likely safe due to its foundation on a trusted method.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the ORACLE trial because it uses liquid biopsy technology, specifically Guardant Reveal, to monitor residual cancer in patients. Unlike traditional biopsies, which are invasive and can be uncomfortable, liquid biopsies are non-invasive and involve analyzing a simple blood sample to detect cancer DNA. This method provides a quicker, less invasive way to assess treatment efficacy and cancer recurrence. By potentially offering real-time insights, it could significantly improve how doctors monitor cancer progression and adjust treatments, making it a promising advancement in cancer care.
What evidence suggests that the Guardant Reveal ctDNA assay is effective for detecting recurrence in early-stage solid tumors?
Research has shown that Guardant Reveal, a blood test using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), can detect cancer at a very early stage. This test aims to catch cancer returning in individuals treated for solid tumors. In this trial, participants from various cohorts, including those with invasive breast carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and other cancers, will be monitored using Guardant Reveal. Studies have found that ctDNA reliably identifies minimal residual disease (MRD), helping to detect leftover cancer cells that might cause recurrence. This method is particularly beneficial because it is less invasive than traditional biopsy methods. Early results suggest that using ctDNA to detect recurrence might offer a more accurate way to monitor cancer patients after treatment.678910
