A Longitudinal Therapy Response Monitoring Study in Subjects With Leptomeningeal Metastases Using CNSide (CSF Tumor Cells) Compared to Standard of Care (CSF Cytology, Clinical Evaluation, and Imaging).

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.
