Gene testing in lung cancer fluid samples
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at fluid from around the lungs (pleural fluid) to find gene changes (oncodrivers) in people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this fluid can replace a tissue biopsy for testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) that is known or suspected to be from non-small cell lung cancer
- The fluid has been tested and shows cancer cells from non-small cell lung cancer
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form in Danish

This trial uses advanced gene sequencing technology on blood and tumor tissue samples from people with non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this testing can help doctors better predict which treatments will work and detect if the cancer comes back early.
This study collects and analyzes lung cancer tissue samples to understand genetic differences that may help guide future treatment. You'll provide a tissue sample (either from a biopsy or prior surgery), and researchers will study it—no treatment is given in this study.
This study uses a special blood test to track minimal residual disease (tiny amounts of cancer that may remain) in people with stage IIIB-C non-small cell lung cancer after they receive initial chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. It may help doctors understand whether this blood test can guide further care and improve outcomes.
This trial checks whether a blood test that looks for cancer DNA can help guide and monitor treatment in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It may help your team spot treatment response or changes earlier, so care can be adjusted appropriately.
This study collects fluid that builds up around your lungs (pleural effusion) during a drainage procedure you already need. Researchers test how different drugs affect your cancer cells in the lab to help predict which treatments might work best for you.
This study looks at lung cancer tumor samples and blood to find DNA changes (gene changes) that may be driving the cancer. The results could help researchers better understand lung cancer and guide future treatments.
