About

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.

Full description

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.
