Application of Quantum Detection-Driven Artificial Intelligence Algorithms for Single-Molecule cfDNA Characterization in the Early Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Nov 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This research project aims to develop a novel blood testing method integrating cutting-edge quantum sensing and artificial intelligence technologies to achieve precise, non-invasive early diagnosis of prostate cancer. The research will employ quantum sensors to perform ultra-high-sensitivity measurements of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) in blood, thereby training a dedicated AI diagnostic model. The ultimate objective is to establish the diagnostic efficacy of this approach through clinical validation, providing clinicians with a novel diagnostic tool capable of significantly reducing unnecessary prostate biopsy procedures.

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Patients who have undergone transurethral resection or enucleation of the prostate;
- Patients who have previously received treatment for prostate cancer, including but not limited to endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy;
- Patients on long-term anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy (anticoagulants discontinued for less than one week);
- Patients who have received any form of tumour treatment prior to enrolment blood sampling, including surgery, radiotherapy/chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy;
- Concurrent severe systemic diseases deemed by the investigator likely to interfere with trial treatment, evaluation, or compliance, including serious respiratory, circulatory, neurological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunological, or urological disorders;
- Organ transplant recipients or individuals with prior non-autologous (allogeneic) bone marrow or stem cell transplantation;
- Subjects who have undergone blood transfusion within one month prior to blood sampling;
Other illness
- Patients diagnosed with any malignant tumour within the past five years;
Other
- Patients currently participating in other clinical trials, or who have participated in other clinical trials within the past year;
