Blood test may spot lung cancer without a needle biopsy
NCT ID NCT06838806
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new blood test called Nu.Q to see if it can accurately tell the difference between harmless and cancerous lung nodules. Researchers will collect blood from 500 people who have lung nodules found on CT scans and compare the test results with the final diagnosis from biopsy or surgery. If the blood test works well, it could reduce the need for invasive procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Nu.Q blood test (measures epigenetically modified nucleosomes)
What this could lead to
If successful, this blood test could help doctors quickly tell if a lung nodule is cancer without needing a biopsy or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The test may not be accurate enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to all populations.
