Recruiting NA Unintended Weight Loss

New treatment option for Unintended Weight Loss

Official title Unintentional Weight Loss and Cancer: A Prospective Trial of Patient-centered Weight Tracking Combined With GRAIL Galleri Testing to Improve Early Detection

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05481697

What this study is testing

What it's testing
Unintentional weight loss (UWL) is commonly associated with a wide variety of diseases and there is still no valid diagnostic pathway for evaluating UWL. When detecting UWL coupled with GRAIL Galleri testing, (an investigational pan-cancer early detection test), it is thought that there is a greater positive predictive value in detecting malignancies.
