Arm 1 - cancer group
Arm 1 - newly diagnosed cancer subjects
|
Diagnostic Test: Harbinger Health Test
This trial will be used to test the ability of the Harbinger Health test to detect cancer using blood-based biomarkers in a large cohort of patients with cancer and matched asymptomatic controls. The asymptomatic controls will be followed for up to 2 years |
Arm 2 - non cancer group
Arm 2 - non-cancer subjects

Diagnostic Test: Harbinger Health Test
This trial will be used to test the ability of the Harbinger Health test to detect cancer using blood-based biomarkers in a large cohort of patients with cancer and matched asymptomatic controls. The asymptomatic controls will be followed for up to 2 years |
- Detection of cancer or non-cancer using Harbinger Test [ Time Frame: upto 2 years ]Analyze Subject's cfDNA from blood samples for "cancer" or "non-cancer" signals using the Harbinger Health test, and compare results of the test to clinical diagnosis
- Performance for specific cancer types using Harbinger Test [ Time Frame: upto 2 years ]Sub-analysis by clinical diagnosis of cancer type (e.g. Breast cancer) to determine how well the Harbinger Health test detects specific tumor types
- Identify the correct tumor type by Harbinger Test [ Time Frame: upto 2 years ]Analyze Subject's cfDNA from blood samples to accurately identify specific tumor types (e.g. Breast cancer) using the Harbinger Health test, by comparing results of the test to clinical diagnosis

Ages Eligible for Study: | 20 Years to 79 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Inclusion Criteria - Both arms
Subjects must meet the following criteria in order to be included in the research study:
- Written or electronic informed consent
- Subject is 20 - 79 years of age at the time of signature of the informed consent form (ICF)
- Male or female subjects
Inclusion Criteria Arm 1 - Cancer Subjects
Arm 1 subjects enrolled in the study must meet the following inclusion criteria:
-
- A confirmed diagnosis (within 180 days prior to enrollment) of a type of cancer from the study list of cancer types for enrollment, including the following types:
- Stage I to Stage IV solid tumor cancer
- Non-solid (hematologic) cancer or
-
- A high suspicion of cancer by imaging (within 180 days prior to enrollment) of a type of cancer from the study list of cancer types for enrollment, including the following types:
- Stage I to Stage IV solid tumor cancer
-
Non-solid (hematologic) cancer
- For subjects to be enrolled with a confirmed cancer diagnosis, the subject's cancer diagnosis will be based upon assessment of a pathological specimen,
- Subject's cancer is treatment-naïve
Inclusion Criteria Arm 2 - Non-Cancer Subjects (All Cohorts)
Arm 2 subjects enrolled in the study must meet the following inclusion criteria:
- Subject's health permits participation and the subject is not suspected of having cancer based on provider assessment.
- The subject was not diagnosed with cancer or received cancer treatment within the last 5 years (persons with completely resected ductal carcinoma in-situ or non-melanoma skin cancer are permitted).
Exclusion Criteria:
Subject self-reporting OR available medical records at the time of screening are acceptable for assessment of all exclusion criteria.
Exclusion Criteria - Both arms
Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from study entry:
- Subject is suffering from any febrile illness defined as a temperature >101.5°F within the last 48 hrs.
- Subject is pregnant (by self-report of pregnancy status).
Exclusion Criteria Arm 1 - Cancer Subjects
Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from study entry:
- Subject has a known prior diagnosis of any other type of cancer (except completely resected ductal carcinoma in-situ or non-melanoma skin cancer) separate from the confirmed cancer diagnosis associated with study enrollment.
-
Subject is currently receiving, or has in the past received, any of the following definitive therapies to treat their current cancer:
- Surgical treatment, surgical removal, or surgical management of the cancer beyond that required to establish the cancer diagnosis. Surgical or biopsy procedures that remove more tissue than required to establish the cancer diagnosis, or that were performed to manage symptoms or initiate cancer treatment prior to blood sample collection will be considered 'definitive' and are not permissible regardless of the residual tumor mass remaining in the subject.
- Chemotherapy (local, regional, or systemic) including chemoembolization targeted therapy;
- Immunotherapy including cancer vaccines;
- Hormone therapy; or
- Radiation therapy (a single dose of palliative radiation prior to study start is allowed).
- The subject is a recipient of an organ transplant or prior non-autologous (allogeneic) bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
Exclusion Criteria Arm 2 - Non-cancer Subjects
Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from study entry:
- The subject is the recipient of an organ transplant or prior non-autologous (allogeneic) bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
