Can ancient chinese medicine predict lung cancer drug success?
NCT ID NCT07338396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) body patterns, like tongue and pulse readings, relate to how well targeted lung cancer drugs work. About 3000 people with a specific type of lung cancer will be followed for up to 5 years. Researchers will collect TCM information and samples to find links between these patterns and treatment outcomes.
