The primary objective of this study is to obtain de-identified, clinically-characterized whole blood specimens for use in developing and evaluating the performance of new biomarker assays for detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Subjects with untreated Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and subjects undergoing HCC surveillance will be enrolled and have blood samples collected. Subjects undergoing HCC surveillance will be followed for up to 6 months. Another blood sample will be collected at the 6 month visit which will be scheduled no longer than 6 months from enrollment.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
2,150
HCC subjects will have one blood sample collected.
Surveillance subjects will have a blood sample collected and will be followed for up to 6 months. A second blood sample will be collected at the 6 month visit which will be scheduled no longer than 6 months from enrollment.
Biomarker Identification
Biomarkers under evaluation include differential methylation of nucleic acids and altered expression of proteins in blood from subjects with HCC compared to those without (but are at risk of developing the disease so are under surveillance)
