AI tool aims to revolutionize lung cancer screening
NCT ID NCT07408531
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence tool called Sybil can improve lung cancer screening by better predicting who is at risk. Researchers will analyze low-dose CT scans from 2,500 people aged 50-80 and compare AI results with current screening guidelines. The goal is to see if AI can catch more cancers earlier, especially in people not covered by standard recommendations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sybil Artificial Intelligence (AI) screening tool
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more accurate and inclusive lung cancer screening, catching more cases early in people who currently fall outside standard guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI tool may not perform better than current methods, and results may not apply to all populations.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 50-80 years at the time of consent * Meets at least one of the following LCS eligibility criteria: * USPSTF: ≥20 pack-years, currently smoke or quit ≤15 years ago. * Potter: 20 years of smoking, regardless of intensity * ACS: ≥20 pack-years, no restriction on quit time * Receiving or scheduled for LDCT through the UI Health Lung Screening Program. * Willing to view a short (approximately 2-minute) educational video that explains Sybil AI scoring and LCS, complete the Sybil AI survey (if selected), and/or provide blood samples (optional). * Able to provide written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information, via an approved UIC IRB ICF and HIPAA authorization. * Women of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. A negative serum or urine pregnancy test is required per institutional practice guidelines. * As determined at the discretion of the enrolling physician or protocol designee, the ability of the subject to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to undergo LDCT * Current diagnosis or history of lung cancer \< 5 years prior to study enrollment. * Life expectancy \<1 year * Active lung infection requiring systemic therapy * Vulnerable population, including prisoners and pregnant or nursing women, will not be enrolled due to radiation exposure from LDCT, which is contraindicated in pregnancy. * Other major comorbidity, as determined by the study PI * Any mental or medical condition that prevents the patient from giving informed consent or participating in the trial.
