Scientists dig for clues in ALK+ lung cancer genes
NCT ID NCT04881916
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to collect medical history and tissue or saliva samples from 100 people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer called ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers will analyze these samples to better understand the genetic and immune features of the disease. The goal is to learn more, not to test a new treatment.
