Clinical Validation of the InterVenn Ovarian CAncer Liquid Biopsy (VOCAL)
Description
Brief Summary
Venn Biosciences Corporation ("InterVenn") has developed a liquid biopsy that is capable of
distinguishing benign from malignant masses in women presenting with adnexal (pelvic) masses,
through a simple blood test. The underlying technology combines mass spectrometry and
artificial intelligence/machine learning to analyze tumor-associated changes in circulating
glycoproteins.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect de-identified biological samples and
data from women with a known pelvic mass, in order to validate ovarian cancer specific
glycoproteomic signatures in the blood based on histologically confirmed malignancy status of
the mass.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, international, multi-center, observational study with a goal of
collecting de-identified samples and data from 1,200 women with a known pelvic mass.
Participants will consent to baseline and follow-up data and biospecimen collections.
Phase
N/AInclusion and Exclusion Criteria
- Women age 18 years or older
- Able to provide a written informed consent and who understand and agree to all study procedures required
- A newly diagnosed adnexal mass as confirmed by imaging (computed tomography, ultrasonography, or magnetic resonance imaging) prior to enrollment
- Planned diagnostic procedure or surgery by the subject's physician to remove adnexal masses within 90 days of imaging. (Note that diagnostic procedure typically includes biopsy (needle core or laparoscopic-directed), ascites cytology, pleural effusion cytology or FNA)
- Had/Has a diagnosis of invasive malignancy (exception: non-melanoma skin cancers) in the previous 5 years.
- Currently receiving or ever received any of the following prior cancer therapies in the previous 5 years. This includes curative surgical resection, local or systemic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy including cancer vaccines, hormone therapy, and/or radiation therapy.
- Pregnancy
- Current febrile illness
- Acute exacerbation or flare of an inflammatory condition requiring escalation in therapy
- Recipient of organ transplant
- Poor health status or unfit to tolerate blood draw In addition, this study will include a small subgroup of women with a newly diagnosed clinically benign adnexal mass(es) for whom surgery is not planned as determined by the treating physician. This subgroup will follow the same exclusion criteria as listed above.
