Blood test may reveal how lung cancer patients react to immunotherapy
NCT ID NCT06823401
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start immunotherapy. Researchers want to see if the body makes antibodies against the immunotherapy drugs. By collecting blood samples from 270 participants, they hope to learn more about how the immune system responds to treatment. This is an observational study, meaning it does not test a new treatment but gathers information to improve future care.
