Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
After signing the informed consent form, participants will be screened to evaluate if they meet the eligibility criteria. If all the criteria are met, participants will be enrolled into the study and will be asked to provide some demographic and other data. A 13 ml blood sample will be collected by the subjects and shipped to Tethis laboratories in order to be processed and analysed.
An amendment has been proposed to enroll 24 additional participants divided into 12 patients and 12 healthy donors. During the amendment, participants will be enrolled to test the analytical capacity of the antibodies evaluated in the first part on samples processed with different methods in order to select the optimal one for future development.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Early Breast Cancer patients
Early stage breast cancer category is based on the definition of the European Society of medical Oncology and is defined as disease confined to the breast with or without regional lymph node involvement
No interventions assigned to this group
Metastatic Breast Cancer patients
Metastatic breast cancer category is based on the definition of the European Society of Medical Oncology and is defined as disease spread to other parts of the body, such as bones, liver or lungs (also called stage IV). Tumours at distant sites are called metastases.
No interventions assigned to this group
Healthy donors
Participants who are in good health and without history of cancer disease
No interventions assigned to this group
