Simple blood test could spot 8 cancers early using AI
NCT ID NCT06717295
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new AI-powered blood test that looks at platelets and immune cells to find early signs of eight different cancers, including lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer. Researchers will collect blood samples from 6,000 adults aged 40 and older, both with and without cancer, to see if the test can accurately tell them apart. The goal is to create a non-invasive way to catch cancer early and track how well treatments are working.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DiNanoQ blood test and DiNanoTrack blood test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test that catches several cancers early and helps doctors see if treatment is working.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to all populations.

Who is studied
The CCANED-CIPHER study will enroll a diverse, geographically dispersed population to ensure the generalizability and robustness of its findings. The study is divided into two phases, utilizing up to 10 medical centers globally across the United Kingdom (UK), Europe, America, and Asia. Phase 1 (CCANED): Participants: 5,000 adults aged 40 years or older. * Cancer Patients: 3,500 individuals with confirmed diagnoses of common cancers. * Healthy Controls: 1,500 age-matched cancer-free individuals. Recruitment Strategy: Participants will be identified and enrolled through the participating medical centers, ensuring a representative sample across different geographical locations. Phase 2 (CIPHER): Participants: 1,000 adults aged 40 years or older diagnosed with HCC or NSCLC across stages I to IV. Recruitment Strategy: Cancer patients will be recruited from the participating cancer centers, ensuring a wide representation of disease stages and treatment backgrounds.
