Monitoring molecular residual disease in lung cancer patients after surgery
Official title: Exploration on the Value of Molecular Residual Disease Based on Circulating Tumor DNA Detection in Predicting Recurrence of Resected Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Run by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, China · NCT05965024 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new way to check for leftover cancer cells in the blood and tissue of lung cancer patients after surgery to see if it can help predict and manage their chances of recurrence.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of stage IB-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who are eligible for radical surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of other malignancies, those who have undergone neoadjuvant therapy, or individuals with serious organ diseases may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study focuses on using a specialized monitoring panel based on patented sequencing technology to detect molecular residual disease (MRD) in patients with stage IB-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who have undergone radical surgery. By analyzing lung cancer tissue and blood samples, the study aims to explore personalized models for predicting recurrence and improve monitoring strategies for these patients. The observational approach allows for the collection of data on the effectiveness of MRD detection in managing post-surgical outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved monitoring and early detection of cancer recurrence in lung cancer patients, potentially enhancing survival rates.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using ctDNA for MRD detection is gaining traction, this specific application in non-small cell lung cancer is still being explored and may offer novel insights.
