Simple blood and tissue tests could revolutionize lung cancer care
NCT ID NCT05665504
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether certain biomarkers in blood and lung tissue can help doctors tell if a lung nodule is cancer, predict the risk of cancer coming back after surgery, and monitor for late recurrence. Researchers will follow 250 people with suspicious lung nodules or recent lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve diagnosis and personalize follow-up care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DetermaRX (tissue biomarker test), LCDT-1, NodifyXL2, CIZ1b (blood biomarker tests)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these biomarker tests could help doctors more accurately diagnose lung nodules, decide who needs chemotherapy after surgery, and catch cancer returning earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The tests may not prove accurate enough to change standard care, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Potentially-resectable lung nodule 8-40 mm diameter suspected (no preop diagnosis) of being a clinically node-negative lung cancer \[clinical stage IA-IB (cT1a-T2aN0), \<4cm diameter\]. * If surgical resection is recommended, patient will undergo surgery at Moffitt Cancer Center. * If a definite tissue diagnosis is obtained and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is the recommended treatment instead of surgery, the SBRT will be delivered at Moffitt Cancer Center. * \>18 years old, male or female. * ECOG performance status 0-1. * Agree to participate in the follow-up protocol. * Any suspected primary lung cancer cell type (except a suspected typical carcinoid tumor, carcinoma in situ or minimally-invasive carcinoma). * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written, informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who are actively receiving any cancer treatment. * Participants with uncontrolled intercurrent illness. * Prior lung cancer within 5 years. * Current active other major cancer except non-melanoma skin cancer. * Patients with pure ground glass opacities (nodules) or hilar masses. * Suspected typical carcinoid cell type (well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma). * Metastatic nodule (suspected) in the lung from an extrapulmonary cancer. * Patient unable to provide informed consent. * Prisoner or incarcerated individual. * For surgical patients, a R1 or R2 resection.
