Description
Patients who meet eligibility criteria and provide written informed consent will undergo comprehensive screening evaluations and standard of care clinical laboratory tests, including hepatic ultrasound and AFP testing at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months after enrollment, or until the diagnosis of HCC. At each visit, blood specimens will be collected for testing with the Seravue device and for clinical and study biomarker testing including AFP. Pateints negative for ultrasound, AFP or Seravue results will continue on with the study. Patient testing positive for ultrasound, or AFP test results will undergo CT [with or without contrast] or MRI imaging to determine the presence or absence of HCC. Inconclusive or indeterminate radiographic diagnosis of HCC will require repeated imaging or lesion biopsy and histopathologic diagnosis to confirm or exclude the presence of HCC per standard of care guidelines. Once HCC diagnosis is confirmed, the patient will exit the study. A patient that demonstrates positive test for Seravue will return to the study visit schedule with no action being taken. All patients will have their medical records reported at month 24 for any new cancer diagnosis and standard of care labs performed. Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will not be collected.
