Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators are developing a blood test to detect cancer from a simple blood draw also referred to as a liquid biopsy. This test is based on orphan non-coding RNAs (oncRNAs) that are abundant in the blood of patients with cancer and largely absent in people without cancer. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) investigators are able to interpret the thousands of oncRNAs found in the blood of patients with cancer by identifying unique, cancer-specific patterns. oncRNA patterns can be used to detect several types of cancer and detect cancer at the earliest stages.
This is a prospective, observational study to collect blood samples and medical information from participants with and without cancer to represent the population in the USA. The investigators have designed the study to include participants without cancer, participants with conditions that are a predisposition for cancer, participants with pre-malignant lesions, and participants with cancer. Patients with a wide variety of cancers are going to be included i.e. bladder, breast, colorectal, esophageal, gastric, kidney, liver, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and uterine cancer.
Each participant will be asked to donate a small blood sample and to share their medical information. The participant's medical information will be updated during the course of the study. The blood will be tested for oncRNA. The objective is to create a blood repository and associated medical database to develop a blood test for cancer, for different cancer types. The study is designed to be inclusive and represent the population in America.
If this study is successful, the results will enable a world where cancer can be detected early with a simple blood test and diagnosed accurately, with better chances of cure. The investigators believe this study has the potential to transform cancer detection in America.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Cohort
Participants without cancer, with general medical comorbidities
Exai oncRNA blood test
A phlebotomist will collect approximately 40 ml (about 2-3 tablespoons) of blood from the subjects after consent. The Exai oncRNA blood test will be run on the blood samples.
Cancer Predisposition Cohort
Participants without cancer, with comorbidities that induce cancer predisposition.
Exai oncRNA blood test
A phlebotomist will collect approximately 40 ml (about 2-3 tablespoons) of blood from the subjects after consent. The Exai oncRNA blood test will be run on the blood samples.
Pre-Malignant Condition Cohort
Participants without cancer, with pre-malignant conditions
Exai oncRNA blood test
A phlebotomist will collect approximately 40 ml (about 2-3 tablespoons) of blood from the subjects after consent. The Exai oncRNA blood test will be run on the blood samples.
Cancer Patients Cohort
Participants with a cancer diagnosis.
Exai oncRNA blood test
A phlebotomist will collect approximately 40 ml (about 2-3 tablespoons) of blood from the subjects after consent. The Exai oncRNA blood test will be run on the blood samples.
