Meeting Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The objective is to develop a cost-effective, reliable and non invasive screening test able to detect early CRCs and adenomas. This is done on a nucleic acids multigene assay performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
METHODS: A colonoscopy-controlled study was conducted on 179 subjects. 92 subjects (21 CRC, 30 adenoma >1 cm and 41 controls) were used as training set to generate a signature. Other 48 subjects kept blinded (controls, CRC and polyps) were used as a test set. To determine organ and disease specificity 38 subjects were used: 24 with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),14 with other cancers (OC). Blood samples were taken and PBMCs were purified. After the RNA extraction, multiplex RT-qPCR was applied on 92 different candidate biomarkers. After different univariate and multivariate analysis 60 biomarkers with significant p-values (<0.01) were selected. 2 distinct biomarker signatures are used to separate patients without lesion from those with CRC or with adenoma, named COLOX CRC and COLOX POL. COLOX performances were validated using random resampling method, bootstrap.
RESULTS: COLOX CRC and POL tests successfully separate patients without lesions from those with CRC (Se 67%, Sp 93%, AUC 0.87), and from those with adenoma > 1cm (Se 63%, Sp 83%, AUC 0.77). 6/24 patients in the IBD group and 1/14 patients in the OC group have a positive COLOX CRC.
CONCLUSION: The two COLOX tests demonstrated a high Se and Sp to detect the presence of CRCs and adenomas > 1 cm. A prospective, multicenter, pivotal study is underway in order to confirm these promising results in a larger cohort.
