Study summary

This project aims to collect peripheral blood samples from newly diagnosed gastric cancer patients and healthy individuals. Various techniques such as cfDNA sequencing, proteomics, and fragmentomics will be employed to analyze differences in the expression of ctDNA mutations, fragmentomics, and protein biomarkers between gastric cancer patients and healthy individuals. A new comprehensive diagnostic model will be established and its diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.) for gastric cancer will be validated.

Specifically, the study will involve the following subjects and quantities: 700 participants from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital (350 gastric cancer patients and 350 healthy individuals), 200 participants from Sichuan Cancer Hospital (100 gastric cancer patients and 100 healthy individuals), and 200 participants from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (100 gastric cancer patients and 100 healthy individuals). Peripheral blood samples (a total of 15mL from each participant, collected in 3 tubes) will be collected from all subjects. The collected blood samples will undergo multi-omics sequencing including cfDNA methylation sequencing, proteomics, and genomics to establish a multi-omics-based early diagnostic model.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Differences in ctDNA gene and tumor-specific proteins expression

    Collect 15ml of peripheral blood from subjects, extract ctDNA, and detect mutations in 18 genes (AKT1, APC, BRAF, CDKN2A, CTNNB1, EGFR, FBXW7, FGFR2, GNAS, HRAS, KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, PTEN, TP53, TOP2A, RNF43) and the expression levels of 9 tumor-specific proteins (CA-125, CA 19-9, CEA, HGF, IL-6, OPN, Prolactin, AFP, HE4) using the FireflyTM method based on amplicon library deep sequencing. Determine the performance indicators including sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the existing AccuScreen system and diagnostic model for early screening of gastric cancer. By conducting tests on 10 samples, explore the genomic fragments of gastric cancer, establish targets for ctDNA fragmentomics (fragment length, cleavage sites, end preferences, etc.), and analysis algorithms for gastric cancer fragmentomics, to further evaluate the feasibility of enhancing sensitivity and specificity for early gastric cancer screening through ctDNA fragmentomics detection.

References and documents

Individual participant data

Plan to share: No — This study does not involve clinical trials of drugs; it is solely designed to ensure the confidentiality of patient information. For participant information (such as names and ages), a coding system will be used instead of real names. After enrollment, each case will be assigned an enrollment number. Throughout the entire study, only the main researchers within the research team will have access to participants' real personal data (names, ages) in the electronic database. Distribution and sharing are prohibited. During the publication of articles, the main researchers within the research team will replace participant privacy information (names) with sample codes to achieve de-identification. Furthermore, the protection of participants' personal information will be maintained throughout the study, and any dissemination or leakage is strictly prohibited.

No publications or documents are linked to this record.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2025, 57 months after the start.

Of 274 non-industry observational studies under Stomach Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 59 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 30 and three quarters within 171. This study's planned 57 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 305 studies reached it within 56 months; a quarter within 30 and three quarters within 120.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 5, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
