A Therapy Treatment Response Trial in Patients With Leptomeningeal Metastases ((LM) Using CNSide

Study Purpose

The FORESEE Study is a multi-center, prospective clinical trial enrolling patients with Breast or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have suspicious or confirmed Leptomeningeal Metastases (LM). Standard of Care methods to diagnose, or assess the treatment response of LM (Clinical Evaluation, MRI and Cytology) have limited sensitivity and specificity. This creates challenges for physicians to manage LM or determine the best course of treatment. CNSide, is a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT ) that is used commercially at the Physician's discretion in Biocept's CLIA certified, CAP accredited laboratory. CNSide can detect and quantify tumor cells in the CSF from patients with Breast Cancer or NSCLC having a suspicious or confirmed LM. The goal of the FORESEE Study is to evaluate the performance of CNSide in monitoring the LM's response to treatment and to assess the impact of CNSide on treatment decisions made by Physicians.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05414123
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The FORESEE Study is a multi-center, prospective clinical trial enrolling patients with breast or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have suspicious or confirmed Leptomeningeal Metastases (LM). LM is a devastating complication of breast cancer and NSCLC and is diagnosed via clinical evaluation, MRI (with and without contrast of the brain and spine), and CSF Cytology. These methods have limited sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, they lack the ability to quantitatively measure the LM's response to treatment. These hindrances create challenges for physicians to manage LM or to determine the best course of treatment. CNSide, is a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT ) that is analytically validated and run commercially in Biocept's CLIA certified, CAP accredited laboratory at the Physician's discretion. CNSide can detect and quantify tumor cells in the CSF from patients with Breast Cancer or NSCLC having a suspicious or confirmed LM. Data derived from case studies suggest that the detection of tumor cells in the CSF by CNSide can be used by Physicians to monitor the response of the LM tumor to treatment and improve the ability to make treatment decisions in patients with LM. Subjects enrolled onto the trial will be treated per Standard of Care. The diagnostic tests used to either diagnose LM, or monitor the LMs response to treatment will be Standard of Care, in combination with CNSide. The goal of the FORESEE Study is to further evaluate the performance of CNSide for LM in monitoring the LM's response to treatment and to assess the impact of CNSide on treatment decisions made by Physicians.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: Breast Cancer

Subjects with Breast Cancer of all subtypes and independent of Hormone status who have a confirmed or suspicious Leptomeningeal Metastasis by Investigator assessment of radiographic image and clinical evaluation and cytology

: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Subjects with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer of all subtypes who have a confirmed or suspicious Leptomeningeal Metastasis by Investigator assessment of radiographic image and clinical evaluation and cytology

Interventions

Device: - CNSide

The Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) of subjects enrolled into each cohort will be used for Standard of Care diagnostic assessments used for subjects with either confirmed or suspicious LM (Cytology, protein and glucose) in combination with CNSide analysis.
