First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors decide when to add chemotherapy to standard immunotherapy for lung cancer. The blood test measures tiny bits of tumor DNA (ctDNA) that cancers release. About 230 people with advanced lung cancer will take part, and researchers will track if adding chemo when ctDNA levels rise leads to better survival.
