Blood test for early detection of lung cancer in people with lung nodules
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a blood test that looks for DNA changes from lung cancer. It aims to find out if the test can help tell whether a lung nodule is cancer or not, so that people might avoid unnecessary procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 80 years old.
- You have a lung nodule (a spot on your lung) that is larger than 0.5 cm and smaller than 3 cm, found in the last 6 months.
- If you had a PET scan, the nodule shows increased activity (SUV more than 1).
- You have not had lung cancer, cancer that spread to the lungs, or any other cancer before.
- You do not have active tuberculosis.
- You are willing to undergo an invasive procedure like a bronchoscopy if needed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is collecting blood samples from people with lung nodules to help design a better test for lung cancer. It may help find cancer earlier without invasive procedures.
This study tests a new blood test that looks for lung cancer DNA. It may help find lung cancer early, especially in people at higher risk.
This trial follows people with lung nodules over time, using blood and tissue samples to look for metabolic changes that may help understand lung cancer better. If you have a lung nodule found on a CT scan and can safely do lung function tests, this study may be a fit.
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
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 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.
