Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial collects and studies blood samples via fluid biopsy for the diagnosis of lung cancer. Studying blood samples in the laboratory may help doctors develop a blood test for lung cancer in the future and provide a better way to screen patients for lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of the fluid biopsy in establishing a diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the accuracy of determination of the histologic subtype of bronchogenic lung cancer.

II. To determine the relative contribution of cell based high definition circulating tumor cell assay (HD-CTC) and imaging mass cytometry (IMC) and plasma based circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) assays in determination of diagnosis and histologic subtype.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood samples on day 1 for analysis via high definition (HD)-single cell analysis (SCA) fluid biopsy. Medical charts of patients are reviewed at 3 months post-biopsy or computed tomography (CT) screening.

After completion of study, patients are followed for up to 1 year.
