Run by University College London Hospitals · NCT06575439 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at lung cancer in people who have never smoked to see how we can find it earlier and understand what might cause it.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed or treated for primary lung cancer and have never smoked more than 100 cigarettes.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have ever smoked more than 100 cigarettes or have used nicotine replacement therapy will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to enhance early detection of lung cancer in adults who have never smoked more than 100 cigarettes. It will analyze participant demographics, co-morbidities, environmental exposures, and their pathways to diagnosis, including symptoms and treatment outcomes. The study will also assess various factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, that may influence lung cancer in this population, utilizing environmental measures, blood tests, and genomic data. Participants will continue with their usual care throughout the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early detection and treatment strategies for lung cancer in never-smokers.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on lung cancer in smokers, this specific focus on never-smokers is relatively novel and less explored.
