Blood test using new chip to find and monitor lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a CT scan of your chest in the last 2 years.
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or small cell lung cancer) or, if you don't have lung cancer, you have no lung spots or only very tiny ones (smaller than 0.4 cm).
- You are willing to give a blood sample (about 20 mL, a few teaspoons) each year for 3 years (if you have lung cancer) or once (if you don't).
- You agree to let researchers link your study data with health insurance and other records.

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 aims to see if a blood test can tell if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It may help doctors avoid unnecessary procedures.
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 looks for new “epigenetic” signals in blood (signals about how genes are turned on/off) to help detect lung cancer early. You might be able to join if you are being evaluated for possible lung cancer or have small, unclear spots on a lung CT scan.
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.
