Prognosis prediction and treatment for non-small cell lung cancer using blood tests
Official title: Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Guided Prognosis Prediction and Adjuvant Treatment Based on Expression and Mutational Signatures of Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) and Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Run by Jiangsu Cancer Institute & Hospital · NCT06198868 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see if blood tests can help predict outcomes and guide treatment for patients with stage IIA-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed stage IIA-IIIC NSCLC who have not received prior systemic antitumor therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone surgical treatment for lung tumors or received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the effectiveness of minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in patients with stage IIA-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). It is a single-center, prospective cohort study that aims to detect MRD and assess its impact on prognosis and treatment decisions. Patients enrolled will undergo genomic and single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze their CTC and ctDNA. The study focuses on operable or inoperable patients who have not received prior systemic therapy for advanced disease.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more personalized treatment strategies and improved outcomes for patients with NSCLC.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of MRD monitoring in cancer treatment is gaining traction, this specific approach in NSCLC is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
