NCT ID NCT06020443
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tracks 126 heavy smokers aged 50 to 74 in France to see how many complete a three-year lung cancer screening program using low-dose CT scans. Researchers also measure how many people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to understand real-world adherence, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- low-dose chest CT scan
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show how to improve participation in lung cancer screening programs, potentially catching more cancers early.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. It only measures adherence, so it won't directly prevent or cure lung cancer.
