Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
2,000 individuals, aged 50-80 who have received a lung-RADS category 3 or 4 result on a LDCT screening study and who are scheduled for follow-up diagnostic imaging study, biopsy, clinical consultation or surgical appointment at one of the participating hospitals.
Detailed description
The study is a prospective, longitudinal, observational study to evaluate the performance of a novel diagnostic test for early-stage lung cancer. Study duration: Expected patient enrollment to be completed within 12 months after study initiation. Patients will be followed for a minimum of 12 months from the date of enrollment. The study duration is approximately 2 years. Participant duration: The day of blood collection. Participants will follow their regular standard of care schedule as recommended by existing guidelines; no extra visits are planned. Follow up data will be obtained from the electronic medical record within at least 12 months of follow-up period.
Interventions
At study enrollment a blood sample will be drawn prior to any invasive diagnostic study or treatment. On this blood sample a novel lung cancer test relying on small RNA signatures will be performed and evaluated.

| Primary Objective | 1 year | The study is a prospective, longitudinal, observational study to evaluate the performance of a novel diagnostic test for early-stage lung cancer. The primary endpoint is to detect the presence or absence of lung cancer, as determined by all follow-up imaging, and pathological data obtained throughout the duration of the study. |
