Detection of Oral and Throat Cancers Using OralViome Cancer Testing System

January 27, 2025 updated by: Viome

Detection of Oral and Throat Cancers Using Saliva Metatranscriptomic Analysis

To evaluate the design, safety and efficacy of OralViome Cancer Testing system in the early detection of Oral and Throat Cancers using saliva metatranscriptomic analysis. This study will recruit only at existing clinical sites and will NOT use any additional clinical sites.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is an observational study evaluating the design, safety and efficacy of OralViome Cancer Testing system in the early detection of Oral and Throat Cancers using saliva metatranscriptomic.

A total of 475 participants will be recruited, including 4 different cohorts: 1) cancer free patients, 2) patients with Oral Potentially Malignant Disease (OPMD), 3) patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), and 4) patients with OroPharyngeal Cancer (OPC). OSCC and OPC participants will be recruited from secondary care facilities, OPMD and cancer free participants will be recruited from primary care facilities.

Participants will complete health questionnaires and collect saliva samples using at home/ in clinic kits provided by Viome. The duration of study participation will be 1 clinic visit for cancer free participants, and up to 1 year for those with OSCC/OPC/OPMD.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC)
OSCC case cohort will consist of patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (all stages, locations), recruited from secondary care.
The OralViome Cancer Testing System is intended for the screening of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). The system consists of the OralViome Saliva Collection and Transport Kit, the Viome laboratory process for metatranscriptomics, and the Viome analytical software that detects an RNA expression signature within a saliva sample.
OroPharyngeal Cancer (OPC)
OPC case cohort will consist of patients with OroPharyngeal cancer (all stages, locations), recruited from secondary care.
The OralViome Cancer Testing System is intended for the screening of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). The system consists of the OralViome Saliva Collection and Transport Kit, the Viome laboratory process for metatranscriptomics, and the Viome analytical software that detects an RNA expression signature within a saliva sample.
Oral Potentially Malignant Disease (OPMD)

OPMD cohort will consist of patients with both potential malignancies or benign conditions including, but not limited to:

  • Dysplasia
  • Hyperplasia
  • Leukoplakia
  • Erythroplasia
  • Lichenoid lesions
  • Actinic Keratosis
  • Lichenoid reaction
  • Aphthous ulcer/ Canker Sores
  • Gingival enlargement (side effect)
  • Lichen planus
  • Keratosis
  • Inflammatory reaction
  • Cheek bites

The system consists of the OralViome Saliva Collection and Transport Kit, the Viome laboratory process for metatranscriptomics, and the Viome analytical software that detects an RNA expression signature within a saliva sample.
Cancer-free
Cancer free control cohort will be matched with cases. Participants will be recruited following clinical adjudication with self-reported confirmation of no cancer and from primary care facilities.
The OralViome Cancer Testing System is intended for the screening of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC).
