New blood and tissue test could spot High-Risk lung cancer patients early
NCT ID NCT05557474
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing two new diagnostic kits that use blood samples or tumor tissue to predict if early-stage lung cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will enroll 236 people with stage IA to IIIA lung cancer who have had their tumor fully removed. The goal is to see if these kits can accurately identify patients at higher risk of recurrence, which could help doctors decide on additional treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ELISA and IHC diagnostic kits
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify which early-stage lung cancer patients are at high risk of recurrence, enabling more tailored follow-up and treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, single-center study focused on diagnostic accuracy, not a treatment. The kits may not prove reliable enough for widespread use.

Inclusion Criteria: * Willing to sign and provide subject consent. * Male or female of age 20 or older. * Patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma by tumor pathology. * Lung cancer with the pathological stage of IA/IB/II/IIIA according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual (8th Edition). * Complete tumor resection (R0 resection). * The East Coast Cancer Clinical Research Collaborative (ECOG) performance status was 0 or 1 at the time of grouping. * Those willing to provide tumor tissue or cytology specimens (including surgical specimens, tissue biopsy specimens, or cytology specimens), blood and body fluid specimens (for follow-up or disease recurrence, such as urine, malignant pleural effusion, ascites, pericardial fluid, etc.). Exclusion Criteria: * Not primary lung cancer patients. * Lung cancer patients whose pathological stage is not IA/IB/II/IIIA according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual (8th Edition) after surgery. * Patients with uncontrolled malignant tumors other than lung cancer. * Uncontrolled systemic disease (such as diabetes, hypertension, active infection, etc.) (determined by the principal investigator ) * Pregnant women. * Any condition may put the patient at serious risk, may affect the interpretation of the trial results, or may seriously interfere with the patient's participation in the trial.
