Blood test aims to catch Cancer's return earlier
NCT ID NCT05059444
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
The ORACLE study watches people who have finished treatment for early-stage solid tumors, such as lung, breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers. Researchers want to see if a blood test called Guardant Reveal can find tiny traces of tumor DNA that might signal the cancer is coming back. Participants give blood samples regularly during their standard follow-up care. By comparing test results with what happens to participants over time, the study aims to learn how well the test detects recurrence.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Guardant Reveal, a blood test that looks for tiny amounts of tumor DNA
- What this could lead to
- If the blood test works, doctors could one day use a simple blood draw to catch cancer recurrence earlier than scans or symptoms, possibly leading to faster treatment.
- What could go wrong
- The test may miss some recurrences or give false alarms, leading to unnecessary worry and tests. This study observes people over time; it does not test whether acting on the test results improves outcomes.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The primary study population will include participants with invasive bladder/upper urinary tract carcinoma, NSCLC, breast cancer, cutaneous melanoma, esophageal carcinoma, gastroesophageal junction carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, epithelial ovarian/Fallopian tube carcinoma, endometrial cancer, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and colorectal cancer as per inclusion/exclusion criteria below. Inclusion criteria were selected to enroll participants who are predicted to have \>15-20% risk of recurrence within 3 years in order to sufficiently power the study for recurrence events.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \> 18 years old AND * Initial treatment is given with curative/radical intent AND * Are planning to undergo regular follow-up and monitoring for cancer recurrence per standard of care at the enrolling site AND * Provided written informed consent to participate in the study AND * Are willing to have de-identified clinical data shared with investigators at regular intervals as outlined in the study protocol and informed consent AND * Are willing to provide blood samples at enrollment and at subsequent clinical visits coinciding with standard of care follow-up, for up to 3 years as outlined in the study protocol and informed consent AND * Have at least one Landmark blood sample collected. Landmark samples are collected 3-12 weeks after surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation/chemoradiation as applicable based on the participant's planned treatment regimen * Have a histologically confirmed Index Cancer that qualifies for inclusion, defined as: Primary Study Cohorts * Cohort 1: Cohort 1: Muscle invasive carcinoma of the bladder, ureter, or renal pelvis (stage II-III), * Cohort 2: Cohort 2: Non-small cell lung cancer (stage IB-III): Cohort 2A: Resectable OR Cohort 2B: Unresectable, * Cohort 3: Invasive breast carcinoma with hormone receptor (e.g. estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status known and one the following: Cohort 3A: High-risk2 HER2+ breast cancer (any ER, PR status allowed) OR Cohort 3B: High-risk2 triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) OR Cohort 3C: High-risk3 HR-positive/HER2-negative invasive breast carcinoma, * Cohort 4: Stage IIB-III cutaneous melanoma or limited (resectable) stage IV melanoma treated with curative intent, * Cohort 5: Esophageal or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma (stage II-III), * Cohort 6: Gastric adenocarcinoma (stage II-III), * Cohort 7: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma that is has been surgically resected or is eligible for surgical resection, * Cohort 8: Cohort 8: Invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (includes stage I-IVB HPV-negative or stage III-IVB HPV-positive oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, nasopharynx, nasal cavity, or paranasal sinus), * Cohort 9: High-risk epithelial ovarian or Fallopian tube carcinoma (defined as FIGO stage IC-III, stage IA-IB that has high grade, carcinosarcoma, or clear cell histology), * Cohort 10: Endometrial carcinoma (2023 FIGO Stage II-III or 2023 FIGO Stage IC or any Stage I with p53 abnormal molecular subtype), * Cohort 11: High-risk renal cell carcinoma (Defined as high grade (grade 3-4) stage II, stage III or limited stage IV (meaning metastatic sites are considered treatable with curative intent) * Cohort 12: Colorectal adenocarcinoma Cohort 12A: Pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the rectum (located up to 15 cm from the anal verge) that is undergoing or underwent a preoperative chemotherapy-or immunotherapy- containing regimen OR Cohort 12B: Colon adenocarcinoma (stage II-III) Exclusion Criteria: * History of allogeneic organ or tissue transplant * Index cancer has predominantly neuroendocrine histology * History of another primary cancer diagnosed within 3 years of enrollment, with the exception that in situ cancers, non-melanoma skin carcinomas, localized low- or intermediate risk prostate cancers (defined as cancers confined to the prostate with Gleason score of 7 or lower and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of less than 20), and stage I papillary thyroid carcinoma, and participants with bilateral/multifocal tumors within the same organ (for example, bilateral breast cancer) are allowed if diagnosed within 3 years of enrollment * Known distant metastasis at time of enrollment (with the exception of participants with limited/resectable stage IV cutaneous melanoma or RCC)
