Clinical Trial Summary

This study is part of the development and validation of a non-invasive lung screening test which aim to identify early stage lung cancer in patients at high risk for lung cancer.

Description:

This is a prospective, case-control, multi-center, observational nonsignificant risk study. The study aims to collect blood and clinical data from subjects undergoing Low Dose CT (LDCT) for lung cancer screening and subjects with confirmed lung cancer.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria - Cases:

• Current or past smokers, with at least 20 pack-years
