Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with untreated gastric lesions or treatment-naïve gastric cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, or those currently undergoing treatment that affects the immune system may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to identify and validate a set of circulating biomarkers in plasma that are associated with gastric preneoplasia in patients who have pre-existing gastric lesions. Participants will include patients with untreated gastric lesions and healthy individuals who will serve as a control group. Blood samples will be collected from both groups to analyze the presence of specific biomarkers that may indicate early stages of gastric cancer. The goal is to improve early detection methods for gastric cancer, which is currently reliant on invasive procedures like endoscopy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a non-invasive blood test for the early detection of gastric cancer, improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using blood-based biomarkers for cancer detection, but this specific approach is novel in the context of gastric preneoplasia.
