What the study is about

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the possible benefits and harms of screening with an investigational blood test designed to detect many types of cancer early.

The name of the screening blood test being studied is:

-GRAIL Galleri test

Being studied: GRAIL Galleri Test

Conditions: Cancer Predisposition Syndrome; Predisposition, Genetic

Eligibility criteria

Copied from the official record. The study team makes the final decision at screening.

Show full criteria

Inclusion Criteria Group 1- Cancer Predisposition Syndrome:

  • Age ≥ 22 for patients with TP53 germline pathogenic variants, age ≥ 35 for all other variants in cancer predisposing genes
  • Germline genetic testing revealed pathogenic germline variants in cancer predisposing genes (list of genes typically tested listed in pre-screening document)
  • Individuals with a clinically based diagnosis of a Cancer Predisposition Syndrome (examples, neurofibromatosis, Fanconi Anemia, Ataxia-Telangiectasia)

Inclusion Criteria Group 2 - Familial Risk:

  • Age ≥ 45
  • Adults with family history suggestive of elevated cancer risk as defined by any the criteria below, who do not fall into Group 1:
  • ≥ 1 first or second degree relative on same side of the family with:
  • Breast, colon, gastric, endometrial, kidney cancer at or before age 50
  • Triple negative breast cancer (any age)
  • Male breast cancer (any age)
  • Ovarian, pancreatic, sarcoma cancer (any age)
  • Neuroendocrine cancer or tumors (any age)
  • Metastatic prostate cancer (any age)
  • Multiple primary cancers (example bilateral breast cancer)
  • ≥ 2 first or second degree relative on same side of the family (any combination is acceptable) with breast or prostate cancer at any age

Exclusion Criteria

  • Individuals diagnosed with invasive malignancy within 3 years of enrollment
  • Have had a blood-based multi-cancer screening test within last year
  • Individuals with evidence of symptomatic or active cancer requiring active therapeutic intervention at the time of participation (hormone therapy for breast/prostate cancer is considered acceptable and will not preclude participation)
  • Individuals in Group 2 whose family history of cancer was the result of a germline mutation in a cancer predisposing gene and who have tested negative for that same familial germline mutation
  • Individuals in Group 2 whose family history of cancer is sex-specific and who is a different sex than the proband with cancer (e.g., a male with a family history of endometrial or ovarian cancer would not be eligible)
  • Individuals in process of being evaluated for clinical suspicion of cancer
  • Individuals who have undergone a cancer risk-reducing surgery for hereditary cancer risk (e.g., mastectomy)
