Investigating how sleep disorders affect lung cancer and immune response
Official title: Prospective Clinical Study Design: the Association of Sleep Disorders With Tumor Immune Microenvironment and Prognosis of Lung Cancer
Run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital · NCT06941948 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how sleep problems like insomnia and sleep apnea affect the immune system and treatment outcomes in people who have just been diagnosed with lung cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are newly diagnosed stage III-IV non-small-cell lung cancer patients who are not receiving systemic therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe mental illness, other malignant tumors, or those receiving sleep medication may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This prospective observational cohort study aims to explore the relationship between sleep disorders, such as insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea, and the tumor immune microenvironment in patients with lung cancer. It will involve newly diagnosed primary lung cancer patients who will be stratified based on their sleep disorder status, confirmed through polysomnography and validated questionnaires. The study will follow participants for three years to assess how these disorders impact immunotherapy responses and long-term clinical outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for lung cancer patients by addressing sleep disorders and their effects on immune response.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited prospective research on this specific topic, related studies have shown that sleep disorders can influence immune responses in cancer patients.
