New blood test could catch deadly lung side effect early
NCT ID NCT07340892
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new blood test that uses NMR technology to spot lung inflammation caused by immunotherapy drugs. The goal is to catch this serious side effect early, so doctors can treat it quickly. The study will include 60 people with lung cancer who are on immunotherapy, some with and some without lung inflammation.
