NCT ID NCT00301119
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking for biomarkers—clues in the body—that could help find lung cancer early. Over 3,600 participants, including people at high and low risk for lung cancer, will provide samples and undergo CT scans. The goal is to see if these biomarkers can spot tumors before symptoms appear, potentially leading to better outcomes.
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 simple blood or sputum test that catches lung cancer earlier, when it's easier to treat.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The biomarkers may not prove accurate enough for widespread use, and results may take years to confirm.
