Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The detection rate of draggable mutations from cytological samples when the concomitantly isolated tissue samples contain cancer cells. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) The rate that amenable DNA is isolated. (2) The rate that amenable RNA is isolated. (3) The rate that MINtS is successfully performed. (4) The number of patients who are positive for cancer in cytological samples and positive for cancer in tissue samples. (5) The number of patients who are negative for cancer in cytological samples and positive for cancer in tissue samples. (6) The number of patients who are positive for cancer in cytological samples and negative for cancer in tissue samples. (7) Detection rate of draggable mutations in patients who are positive for cancer in cytological samples and positive for cancer in tissue samples. (8) Detection rate of draggable mutations in patients who are negative for cancer in cytological samples and positive for cancer in tissue samples. (9) Detection rate of draggable mutations in patients who are positive for cancer in cytological samples and negative for cancer in tissue samples. (10) The rate that the sample is submitted to the companion diagnostics already approved in Japan when tissue sample is positive for cancer cells. (11) The concordance rate between MINtS and the companion diagnostics already approved in Japan when when the samples is positive for both cytological samples and tissue samples. (12) The difference of prices between MINtS and the companion diagnostics already approved in Japan when when the samples is positive for both cytological samples and tissue samples. (13) The overall response rate defined by the doctor in charge in patients who are positive for draggable mutations detected either by the companion diagnostics already approved in Japan or by MINtS. | — |
