What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Lung cancer is the top cancer killer of Veterans, often found too late to cure. This trial tests whether giving doctors personalized prediction tools and dashboards can increase lung cancer screening rates among 23,520 high-risk Veterans. The goal is to catch cancer earlier and reduce disparities, especially for Black Veterans who face higher risk but lower screening rates.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Prediction tools and dashboards (PCP-facing tools and population management toolkit)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make lung cancer screening more efficient and fair, catching more cancers early when they are curable, especially in high-risk groups like Black Veterans.
What could go wrong
This is a large pragmatic trial, but the tools may not change behavior as hoped, or implementation challenges could limit real-world impact. The study focuses on screening uptake, not directly on reducing deaths.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 23,520 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jun 2026

Expected to finish

Sep 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A government agency

The lead sponsor is a US federal agency other than the NIH.

Who can take part

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

Ages

50 to 80 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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

Inclusion Criteria: Veterans assigned a PCP at a participating site and who meet inclusion criteria at any point during the study timeframe will be enrolled into the trial. There will be two paths to patient inclusion: * meeting USPSTF eligibility criteria for LCS, as currently encoded in the background logic of LCS clinical reminders maintained by the VA National Center for Lung Cancer Screening (i.e., age 50-80 years; smoked 20 pack-years; current smoking or quit \<15 years ago) OR * predicted benefit calculated using LYFS-CTVA model exceeds a stringent high-benefit threshold of life-year gains with annual LCS, as recommended in the 2021 CHEST LCS guidelines Exclusion Criteria: * Veterans who have previously undergone lung cancer screening, are diagnosed with lung cancer, or who do not meet eligibility criteria outlined above
