New study aims to predict lung cancer in Never-Smokers
NCT ID NCT05572944
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a risk prediction model for lung cancer in people who have never smoked. Researchers will enroll 10,000 participants aged 50-80 with a family history of lung cancer. They will collect data from questionnaires, blood tests for autoantibodies and genetic markers, and low-dose CT scans to identify high-risk individuals and improve early detection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a reliable way to identify never-smokers at high risk for lung cancer, enabling earlier detection and better outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study to develop a risk model, not a treatment trial. The model may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply outside Taiwan.
