Non-Invasive Diagnosis and Monitoring of Cardiac Masses by Liquid Biopsy

Non-Invasive Diagnosis and Monitoring of Cardiac Masses by Liquid Biopsy: The CarMA Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a nonprofit, observational, prospective and retrospective,multicenter study in a population of young and adult patients ≥12 years with a diagnosis of a cardiac mass. The study will include both patients with masses of unknown pathological diagnosis and patients with a known histology of benign or malignant tumors. We predict a case-control allocation ratio of 1:1 between cardiac malignant tumors and benign lesions. Peripheral blood will be collected at participating centers during routine venipuncture,processed and then shipped for liquid biopsy ctDNA NGS analyses. If available, in malignant cases, matched tumor tissue samples collected as per clinical practice solid biopsies or surgery will be used for analyses. Longitudinal tracking through serial blood draws could be performed in selected cases of patients with cardiac malignancies who receive cancer treatment
