Lung cancer and scarred lungs: a dangerous duo under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07396467
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examines how well immunotherapy works for people with both lung cancer and pulmonary fibrosis (scarred lungs). Researchers will compare 200 patients with both conditions to similar patients without scarring, tracking survival and side effects. They also analyze tumor tissue at a cellular level to understand why responses differ.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Retrospective, single-center observational cohort study of patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer and imaging-confirmed interstitial lung disease (ILD) diagnosed at Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital between January 2019 and September 2025. Eligible cases will be identified from hospital information systems and clinical records. Clinical characteristics, laboratory results, imaging, pathology and molecular reports will be extracted from Hospital Information System (HIS), Laboratory Information System (LIS), and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) databases. Available tumor tissue specimens (bronchoscopic biopsy, CT-guided lung biopsy, or surgically resected lung tissue) will be collected for spatial transcriptomics analysis. Patients whose tumor location does not overlap with ILD-involved areas will be excluded.

Inclusion Criteria: * Pathologically confirmed lung cancer. Interstitial lung disease identified on chest imaging (e.g., high-resolution computed tomography). Diagnosed and treated at Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital between January 2019 and September 2025. Exclusion Criteria: * The anatomical location of the lung cancer lesion does not overlap with the ILD-involved area.
