Target follow-up type

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Monitoring test: Circulating tumour cells are isolated from blood (10 ml in ACD) by ISET (Isolation by Size of Epithelial Tumour Cells) using filtration technology and analysed within one week before treatment (baseline) and at 3 months after treatment cycle commenced and at least 3 weeks after treatment cycle ceased (follow-up) - primary outcome measure
Follow-up at 6 months, 9 months and 12 months, if applicable (secondary outcome measures)

Screening test: Early detection in patients with a family history of cancer or patients with chronic disease, or as part of a health check. The ISET-ED (early detection screening) test has the potential to detect potentially malignant cells, and other illness causing rare cells.
Circulating rare cells are isolated from blood (10 ml in ACD) by ISET technology and analysed at baseline and at 3-12 months (follow-up)
Intervention code [1] 290379 0
Not applicable
Comparator / control treatment
Intra-individual: Number of CTC at follow-up (e.g. after treatment) compared to number of CTC at baseline (e.g. before treatment). Detection of rare cells at follow-up compared with baseline.
Control group
Uncontrolled

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
treatment effectiveness: Patient diagnosed with cancer;
Have previously received (at least 3 weeks ago) or will receive treatment within one week;
treatment may include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hyperthermia, intravenous Vitamin C, or other complementary treatment as prescribed by the treating physician;

Early detection screening: Patients with a family history of cancer or patients with chronic disease, or as part of a health check
Minimum age
18 Years

Duration
Longitudinal
Selection
Defined population
Timing
Prospective
Statistical methods / analysis
1-way repeated measures ANOVA;
The sample size is primarily based on clinical availability of patients. A sample size of 50-100 patients would be sufficient to detect a change of >50% in CTC numbers at follow-up compared to baseline with the power of 90% and a confidence of 95%.
