Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is being performed as part of the development process of the Liver EpiCheck test which includes the identification of different methylation profiles in HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) patients compare to cancer free control in blood samples

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study aimed to collect blood samples and de-identified clinical data from subjects diagnosed with HCC (cases arm) and subjects with high risk for HCC which are undergoing routine surveillance for HCC.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cases Group

Subjects who have already been diagnosed with liver cancer, however did not yet undergo any surgery, ablation, embolization or any other treatment for this cancerous lesion (including, but not limited to systemic therapies)

Blood collection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Peripheral blood will be collected via routine venipuncture procedure

Control Group

Cancer free subjects with high risk to development HCC. High risk subjects include the following:

1. Subjects with HCV (hepatitis C virus) and cirrhosis
2. Subjects with HBV (hepatitis B virus) and cirrhosis
3. Non-cirrhotic chronic HBV subjects at intermediate or high risk of HCC, according to EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma
4. Subjects with NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) with cirrhosis
5. Cirrhotic patients due to any other reasons, including alcohol disease

Blood collection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Peripheral blood will be collected via routine venipuncture procedure
