TR(ACE) Assay Clinical Specimen Study

Conditions
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung
Breast Neoplasms
Interventions
Device: TR(ACE) Assay Testing
Registration Number
NCT02934360
Lead Sponsor
Biological Dynamics
Brief Summary

The TR(ACE) Assay is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic test run on the TR(ACE) Instrument intended for the measurement of high molecular weight human DNA from plasma as an aid to monitoring disease progression or response to therapy or recurrent or residual disease.

Detailed Description

This study is to establish the clinical performance of the TR(ACE) Assay. Deltas of serial TR(ACE) Assay measurements will be compared to the standard of care physician clinical assessment and RECIST 1.1 criteria evaluation relative to the previous visit. Significant changes in serial TR(ACE) Assay measurements are hypothesized to correlate with disease progression or response.
