What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study follows 305 people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who have specific genetic mutations. Researchers regularly test their blood for tiny traces of cancer DNA (minimal residual disease, or MRD) to see if it can predict when the cancer will come back. The goal is to find out if MRD testing is more accurate than standard scans for early detection of recurrence.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a blood test that warns of lung cancer returning months before scans detect it.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may show MRD is not a reliable predictor, or results may not apply to all patients.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

305 The main research purpose of this project is to associate the MRD status of driver gene positive patients with 12 months of recurrent events. The follow-up is 2 years, so according to the number of patients with stage IIIA NSCLC in each center, and the patient enrollment is planned within 1 year. A total of 305 stage III NSCLC patients were collected

Ages

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer were confirmed by imaging and histological biopsy 2. Age≥ 18 3. ECOG PS:0-1 4. Tumor molecular testing by EBUS or biopsy confirmed positive for one or more of the following driver genes:EGFR\\ALK\\ROS1\\RET\\KRAS\\PIK3CA\\BRAF\\HER2\\MET 5. Patients who met and agreed to surgery or radical chemoradiotherapy, and the remaining samples after cutting tissue sections did not affect the possible further clinical treatment of the subject 6. Provide 20 mL peripheral blood samples periodically 7. The subjects volunteered to join the study, and signed the informed consent form, with good compliance, and actively cooperated with the hospital for routine clinical diagnosis and treatment follow-up Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with other malignancies within 5 years 2. According to the investigator, the patient also had other diseases that may affect the follow-up and short-term survival 3. The subject had other factors that may lead to the termination of the study, such as other serious diseases (including mental illness), serious laboratory abnormalities, and family or social factors that affected the safety of the subject, or the collection of data and samples
