Brief Summary

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

This study aims to

1. Identify biomarkers and signatures to differentiate between high-risk and lung cancer patients.
2. Discover blood-based biomarkers that can be used as an adjunct test to imaging diagnosis to improve patient follow-up.

Detailed Description

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

With existing evidence showing the utility of using liquid biopsy for early cancer detection, the investigators hypothesized that cell-free DNA and/or RNA expression changes during disease progression, and biomarker signature can be derived from the changes in expression levels. The investigators aim to discover and validate RNA and methylated cell-free DNA cancer biomarkers that can discriminate between high-risk and lung cancer patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A - High risk cohort

i. Male or female subjects aged 30 and above. ii. No previous history of any cancers. iii. Able to provide X-ray and/or LDCT results. iv. Have one of the following conditions:

1. COPD
2. Pulmonary nodules measuring less than 11mm, or deemed not for biopsy by attending physician

v. Willing to go back for a follow-up X-ray or LDCT scan in the next clinical follow up as per standard of care.

vi. Willing to provide up to 30mL of blood in month-0 (first visit) and up to 21mL in the next standard of care follow up visit (second visit).

No interventions assigned to this group

B - Highly suspicious of lung cancer

i. Male or female subjects aged 30 and above. ii. No previous history of any cancers. iii. Able to provide X-ray and/or LDCT results. iv. Have one of the following conditions:

1. Suspicious nodules measuring more than 11mm.
2. Imaging diagnosis suggestive of lung cancer.

v. Willing to enrol for biopsy for confirmation. vi. Willing to provide up to 39mL of blood in month-0 (first visit) and up to 21mL in the next standard of care follow up visit (second visit).

No interventions assigned to this group
