Clinical Study of Pan-cancer DNA Methylation Test in Plasma

January 5, 2023 updated by: Wuhan Ammunition Life-tech Co., Ltd

Development of Diagnostic Model for Multi-cancer Diagnosis Based on DNA Methylation Biomarkers

We intend to establish an efficient method for plasma cfDNA extraction and Bisulfite transformation to facilitate the detection of DNA methylation status using multiplex fluorescence PCR. Meanwhile, we expect to identify several plasma methylation markers that can be highly sensitive for multi-cancer detection. Finally, we will provide a pan-cancer blood test that is easy to operate, low cost, accurate and easy to promote.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Cancer group
Patients aged 18 years or older with high suspicion of cancer diagnosed by endoscopy, other imaging tests, pathological examinations, etc. The cancer types include liver cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer and stomach cancer.
Cell-free DNA were extracted from plasma collected from individuals of cancer and non-cancerous disease groups, then the DNA was bisulfite converted and tested by DNA methylation assay based on real-time PCR platform.
Non-cancer group
Composed by healthy individuals and patients with non-cancerous diseases including hemorrhoids, enteritis, gastritis, tuberculosis and other non-cancerous diseases.
Cell-free DNA were extracted from plasma collected from individuals of cancer and non-cancerous disease groups, then the DNA was bisulfite converted and tested by DNA methylation assay based on real-time PCR platform.
