Study Overview

DNA Evaluation of Fragments for Early Interception - Lung Cancer Training Study (DELFI-L101 Study)

The primary objective of this study, DELFI-L101, is to train and test classifiers for lung cancer detection using the DELFI assay and other biomarker and clinical features.

Subjects will be enrolled into the DELFI-L101 study after informed consent and eligibility is confirmed. At enrollment, subjects will have blood specimens collected (~40 mL) and 12 months post-enrollment their medical records will be reviewed.

  • Lung Cancer
  • Head and Neck Cancer
  • Esophageal Cancer
  • Bladder Cancer
  • Kidney Cancer
  • Stomach Cancer
  • Colorectal Cancer
  • Pancreas Cancer
  • Liver Cancer
  • Skin Cancer
  • OTHER: Blood Sample Collection
  • DELFI-L101 Study

    Inclusion Group 2: High Risk Patients that meet the following criteria: 7. Pathologic confirmed, invasive non-lung cancer diagnosis, originating from the esophagus (upper), colon or rectum, pancreas, stomach (including lower esophagus), head and neck, skin (excluding cutaneous basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma) kidney, or liver, with no prior systemic therapy, definitive therapy, radiation, or surgical resection.
    OR Clinically confirmed invasive non-lung cancer diagnosis originating from the pancreas, kidney, or liver, based on imaging and clinical judgment with planned treatment and no prior systemic therapy, definitive therapy, radiation, or surgical resection.
    OR Clinically (based on imaging and clinical judgment) or pathologically confirmed non-invasive or invasive bladder cancer with planned treatment and no prior systemic therapy, definitive therapy, radiation or surgical resection.
    Exclusion Criteria:
    All Participants:
