Blood test may predict immunotherapy success in lung cancer
NCT ID NCT05426668
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a blood test called TheraSure CNI-Monitor in 170 people with advanced lung cancer (NSCLC) who are receiving immunotherapy. The test looks for tiny bits of tumor DNA in the blood to see if the cancer is responding to treatment or getting worse. The goal is to catch treatment failure earlier than standard scans, helping doctors make faster decisions.
