Brief Summary

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

Cancer continues to be one of the most significant public health issues worldwide. Thanks to early detection, the mortality rate of certain types of cancer has decreased significantly. However, the lack of accessible, low-cost, non-invasive, non-toxic, and easy-to-implement diagnostic methods results in late diagnoses, leading to 1 in every 6 people dying from cancer today.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and are found both inside cells and in bodily fluids such as blood and urine. Several studies have demonstrated their role in human diseases, especially cancer, where tumors release miRNAs into the bloodstream that can be used as biomarkers for early detection.

The research and development team at Oncoliq SAS identified a panel of miRNAs associated with breast cancer, with a detection performance of 82% sensitivity and 83% specificity, validated in exploratory and preliminary confirmatory studies. These results led to the filing of a patent based on liquid biopsy technology.

The objective of this protocol is to establish a panel of miRNAs for the early detection of breast cancer using samples from breast cancer patients and a cancer-free control group. Validation of the miRNAs will be carried out through RT-qPCR. This stage constitutes the analytical validation of the biomarkers, with the goal of developing an algorithm capable of classifying individuals with and without breast cancer. In future stages, a pilot clinical trial is planned to evaluate test implementation and clinical validation.
