Liquid Biopsy-Based Pre-Screening to Streamline LDCT Lung Cancer Screening in High-Risk Individuals

A Multimodal Liquid Biopsy-Based Assay as a Pre-Screening Test Before Low Dose CT Thorax (LDCT) to Streamline Lung Cancer Screening in High-Risk Individuals


Sponsor

National University Hospital, Singapore

Enrollment

140 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of using a blood-based liquid biopsy assay as a pre-screening tool before low-dose CT (LDCT) for lung cancer screening. By identifying individuals unlikely to have lung cancer, this approach aims to reduce unnecessary LDCT scans, radiation exposure, and healthcare costs, while improving early detection, particularly among high-risk individuals including never-smokers with a family history of lung cancer.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether a liquid biopsy blood test (which looks for cancer DNA in the bloodstream) can help identify who truly needs a low-dose CT lung scan, potentially making lung cancer screening smarter and more targeted. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a current or former smoker (quit within 15 years), aged 55–74, with at least a 30 pack-year smoking history, OR - You are a non-smoker aged 55–75 with a parent, sibling, or child who has had lung cancer, OR - You are 21 or older and have been diagnosed with early-stage (I–II) or advanced-stage (III–IV) lung cancer and have not yet started treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have had a CT lung scan within the past 12 months (for high-risk individuals only) - You have a known allergy to CT contrast dye - You have already received treatment for lung cancer (for the cancer patient groups) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
