Blood test for early lung cancer in high-risk smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 80 years old
- You have smoked cigarettes in the past or currently smoke
- You are willing to give a blood sample
- For people without cancer: you have had a CT scan in the last 3 months showing no concerning lung nodules
- For people with suspicious nodules or known lung cancer: you have had a recent CT scan or are under evaluation for lung cancer
- You have not had any cancer (except possibly lung cancer for this study) in the last 5 years, and you have not received cancer treatment in the last year

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.
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for DNA from lung cancer cells in your blood. It aims to see if the test can find lung cancer early, even before symptoms start.
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for changes in DNA to detect lung cancer early. It's for people with a new lung cancer diagnosis, those with uncertain CT scan results, healthy volunteers, or those with chronic lung problems.
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 uses a blood test to look for tiny genetic markers (miRNA and DNA methylation) that may help detect lung cancer early. If you have a lung nodule or mass found on a CT scan and haven't had treatment yet, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new breath test to find early signs of lung cancer in people at high risk. It looks for cancer biomarkers in the air you breathe out. If you are a heavy smoker between 55 and 74, this trial may help detect lung cancer earlier.
