Using family risk to predict lung cancer in never-smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study builds and tests risk prediction tools for lung cancer in people who have never smoked, using information from family history. If it works, it may help doctors identify who might need closer screening earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old
- You are a close family member (parent, child, or sibling) of someone with lung cancer
- You have never had lung cancer before
- You have not had a different cancer recently (except certain skin cancers or cervical cancer that hasn’t spread)
- You can safely have chest imaging and chest procedures (such as a needle biopsy or surgery if needed)

This study is for people at high risk of lung cancer—either long-term heavy smokers or those with a close family member who had lung cancer. It uses a low-dose CT scan to look for early signs of lung cancer, and if you smoke, you'll be asked to join a smoking cessation program.
This study looks at how people at high risk for lung cancer use low-dose CT scans in real life, and what outcomes happen over time. It may help confirm which groups benefit most from regular screening and support safer screening decisions.
This study tests an artificial intelligence device to screen for lung cancer in people who have never smoked but have a close family member with lung cancer. If you are between 50 and 75 and fit for possible surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether people at higher risk for lung cancer can be safely screened using regular chest CT scans. You might benefit from closer monitoring, and the study helps doctors learn the best way to catch lung cancer earlier.
This trial offers screening tests to look for lung cancer early in people whose parent, child, or sibling has had lung cancer. It may help find cancer sooner, when treatment is more effective.
This study tests a lung cancer screening program using low-dose CT scans and a blood test to find cancer early. It is for people who smoke or used to smoke.
