Blood test for early lung cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You can be a newly diagnosed lung cancer patient before starting treatment, someone with unclear results from a low-dose CT scan, a healthy volunteer, or someone with chronic lung disease (like COPD, emphysema, or pneumonia).
- You cannot have had any cancer other than lung cancer.
- You cannot have HIV or hepatitis.
- You cannot have an active autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs (lung-only conditions are okay).
- Pregnant women and people unable to give consent cannot join.

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 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.
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 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 trial studies a “cell-free DNA” blood test to help diagnose and guide treatment decisions for early non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors tailor care based on genetic signals seen in the blood before and around surgery.
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.
