Blood test for early lung cancer detection in smokers
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a blood test that looks for multiple signals to find lung cancer early. If you are a smoker or former smoker over 50, this test might help detect cancer before you have symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older
- You are a current or former smoker with a smoking history of at least 20 pack-years (for example, 1 pack a day for 20 years, or 2 packs a day for 10 years)
- You are not currently being treated for cancer
- You have not had any cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer) in the last 5 years
- You have not had a chest CT scan for lung cancer screening in the last 12 months

This study uses an AI-powered blood test to identify people at high risk for lung cancer early, before symptoms appear. You'd be helping researchers see if this blood test can catch lung cancer sooner in people with COPD who have a smoking history.
This study tests a new chip that may detect lung cancer from a blood sample. It will compare blood from people with lung cancer and people without, possibly helping to find or monitor the disease in the future.
This study uses a simple blood test to measure telomeres (parts of your DNA) to see if it can help detect lung cancer earlier. Researchers will compare results from people with lung cancer, heavy smokers, and low-risk individuals to improve diagnosis.
This study checks whether a blood test (a liquid biopsy) can be used along with standard lung cancer screening to find lung cancer early in people at higher risk. It may help see if the blood test is practical and useful for screening—without needing symptoms.
This study is testing a new blood test to help doctors find cancer earlier. If you are 45 or older and have symptoms that might be cancer, or were recently diagnosed with cancer, you may be able to join.
This study is evaluating a blood-based test that might detect lung cancer early, before symptoms appear. Researchers are looking for heavy smokers who have no signs of cancer, as well as those with suspicious lung nodules or confirmed lung cancer, to see if a simple blood draw could help identify cancer sooner.
