Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples to determine if a blood-based test can be used to identify lung cancers that may or may not also be seen on images of lungs. Additionally, the study aims to see if a blood-based test can identify other types of cancers and health conditions.
Approximately 2500 patients in the United States will participate in this study. This will include approximately 1600 patients with cancer (600 with lung cancer and 1000 with another type of cancer) and approximately 900 patients without cancer.
Detailed description of study
The overall goal is to develop a cfDNA fragmentation-based algorithm with clinical performance metrics optimized to improve adherence to lung cancer screening guidelines while improving the benefits to harms ratio of serial LDCT surveillance. The specific objective is to train and test a novel classifier using a multi-site, observational study design. This is a prospectively enrolling observational case-control study. Peripheral blood will be collected from individuals enrolled in the cohort.
