Clinical Evaluation of the OncAlert RAPID in Subjects Presenting for Evaluation and/or Initial Biopsy; Impact on Decision-Making

Completed

Conditions studied: Palatal Neoplasms, Lip Neoplasm, Gingival Neoplasms, Leukoplakia, Oral, Tongue Neoplasms, Oropharyngeal Neoplasms, Oral Ulcer

In brief

Objectives Validate the OncAlert® RAPID Test by demonstrating that NPV \> (1 -prevalence). Evaluate the independent and associated contribution of readily available clinical variables including age, race, gender, HPV status, socioeconomic level, tobacco, and alcohol use with the biopsy and test results. Evaluate OncAlert® RAPID Test results in patients without immediate biopsy, both at baseline and scheduled follow-up visit (approximately 1-3 months±14 days), to assess impact on outcome. Planned Number of Subjects A total enrollment of up to 1000 individuals is projected with 600 as the minimum accrued. Patients in the primary cohort (1a and 1b) will be followed until pathology of clinically directed incisional / diagnostic biopsy pathology report is received. Up to 200 'non-biopsy subjects' will be followed during a 1-3 month ±14 days clinic visit. Patient Population Cohorts 1a and 1b: Subjects with a clinical suspicion of oral potentially malignant disorders, oral or oropharyngeal cancer, or both based in part on clinical examination, symptoms, clinical history, suspicious lesion(s) in mouth without history of a prior positive biopsy. Even if the suspicion is low for cancer or precancer, the patient is eligible if a biopsy is performed, in part, to rule this out. For example, if a subject has findings on imaging, or worrisome localizing symptoms in the oral cavity or oropharynx, they would be eligible. In addition, subjects with papillomas or other findings where there is a low level of concern, but cancer is still in the differential, are also eligible. * Cohort 1a: oral cavity * Cohort 1b: oropharynx Cohort 2: Subjects are enrolled with a clinical suspicion of oral potentially malignant disorders, oral or oropharyngeal cancer, or both based in part on clinical examination, symptoms, clinical history, suspicious lesion(s) in mouth without history of a prior positive biopsy; however, based on clinical impression and or patient related issues no immediate biopsy is obtained. Screen Fail Rate: A 20% Screen Fail Rate is anticipated. Investigational Product Name: OncAlert Oral Cancer RAPID Test (OncAlert RAPID) Methodology Overview Prospectively collect 5cc of normal saline after a combination of swish, gargle and spit into the provided collection specimen cup. Specimens will be collected at baseline (time of biopsy) as per standard practice at each site. The OncAlert RAPID Test cassette is inserted into the specimen cup and read directly from the cassette in 10 minutes. In addition, comprehensive clinical - pathology and patient demographic features including age, gender, race, ethnicity, and all pathology biopsy results will be collected. Any pertinent additional clinical data including HPV status, socioeconomic status, smoking, drinking history, and pertinent features related to oral health will be obtained. A central pathology review for all biopsy results will be performed and incorporated into the final analyses.
