Spit and blood may predict who benefits from lung cancer immunotherapy
NCT ID NCT07163507
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at sputum and blood samples from 50 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are starting immunotherapy. Researchers want to find immune cell changes that could predict which patients will respond well to treatment. The goal is to better understand the immune system's role in fighting lung cancer and improve future treatment decisions.
