Performance of a multiplexed dual analyte immunoassay for the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract: Objectives“PAULA’s” test (Protein Assays Utilizing Lung cancer Analytes) is a novel multiplex immunoassay blood test that incorporates both tumor antigens and autoantibodies to determine the risk that lung cancer (LC) is present in individuals from a high-risk population. The test’s performance characteristics were evaluated in a study using 380 retrospective clinical serum samples.MethodsPAULA’s test is performed on the Luminex xMAP technology platform, and detects a panel of 3 tumor antigens (CEA, CA-125, an… Show more

“…In a validation set the panel discriminated NSCLC (with 67% early-stage) from healthy controls with a sensitivity of 77% and specificity of 80%. However its clinical applicability is limited since benign conditions were not included4. None of the cited studies pursued such a high sensitivity as we do, which would probably derive in a diminished specificity.…”

“…Here we provide an improved classification algorithm achieving a superior sensitivity for LC in the context of RDU. In this refined algorithm, besides the smoking status, the routinely used CEA was incorporated, corroborating its diagnostic capacity especially for late-stage tumours4242526. Briefly, our approach involves the measurement of EGF, sCD26, CAL and CEA to generate a classification score for each individual to predict LC.…”

“…Other TAAbs were excluded from the review because relevant data were available from fewer than 3 articles . Five of the included studies examined only small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) [45,50,52,58,67], and eight included only non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [28,47,54,55,57,59,64,109]. A total of 50 articles were based on serum specimens, while the remaining 3 were based on plasma samples.…”

“…Other groups have explored the utility of blood and nonblood‐based biomarkers for lung cancer screening. A representative list include using gene expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, serum proteins, microRNAs, immunoassay, methylation, exhaled volatile organic compounds and urine protein biomarkers . Unlike other blood‐based lung cancer detection methods, the FPR1 ratio has been demonstrated to detect both NSCLC and SCLC.…”
