A Feasibility Study to Further the Development of Lung Cancer-based Precision Medicine
Scientific and Methodological Advancements in Human Specimens to Further the Development of Lung Cancer-based Precision Medicine - A Feasibility Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to further advancements in biospecimens (blood cellular free component, e.g., plasma, serum, tissue, urine), in order to develop precision medicine, for lung cancer management and lung cancer screening (synergy with imaging). A co-clinical trial approach, with integrative analyses leveraging data from the treatment of genetic mouse models of lung cancer along with clinical samples and data from lung cancer patients, will be used to elucidate genomic background metrics, identify cell free DNA mutations, and further refine the liquid biopsy approach. Blood and urine samples will be analyzed for different genetic components. The tissue biopsy will be implanted into a mouse and after the cancer grows in the mouse the cancer DNA from the mouse will be compared with the human blood.
