Sampled’s Genomics Laboratory in Glasgow Launches Inaugural Project with Guardant Health
Glasgow lab will manage blood samples for the SHIELD lung cancer screening study in the EU
Sampled1 announced that the new genomics Sampled SMART Lab in Glasgow, UK, has initiated a project with Guardant Health, Inc., a leading precision oncology company, to manage blood samples for a large-scale lung cancer screening study. The SHIELD Lung registrational study is designed to evaluate the performance of a Guardant blood-based screening test to detect lung cancer in high-risk individuals aged 50-80. Sampled has already begun receiving blood samples for the study, which is expected to enroll nearly 10,000 patients and will be conducted across approximately 100 centers in the U.S. and Europe. Sampled will manage receipt of the study’s blood samples from these test sites, prepare them for analysis, and store them until they are ready to be shipped to Guardant Health’s U.S. laboratories for test processing.
