RECRUITINGOBSERVATIONAL

Using Biomarkers for Diagnosis, Risk Stratification of Post -Treatment Recurrence and Long-Term Surveillance of Lung Cancer

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This study is an observational study of blood and tissue biomarkers. Investigators plan to evaluate the accuracy of lung cancer biomarkers found in the blood in determining if a lung nodule is cancer or benign. Investigators also plan to examine another biomarker found in the tumor tissue to identify participants after lung cancer surgery who have a high risk for recurrent cancer. Finally, investigators plan to determine if one of the blood-based biomarkers can be used to detect any late cancer recurrence.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Potentially-resectable lung nodule 8-40 mm diameter suspected (no preop diagnosis) of being a clinically node-negative lung cancer \[clinical stage IA-IB (cT1a-T2aN0), \<4cm diameter\]. - If surgical resection is recommended, patient will undergo surgery at Moffitt Cancer Center. - If a definite tissue diagnosis is obtained and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is the recommended treatment instead of surgery, the SBRT will be delivered at Moffitt Cancer Center. - \>18 years old, male or female. - You should be able to carry out daily activities with 0 level of ability (ECOG 0)-1. - Agree to participate in the follow-up protocol. - Any suspected primary lung cancer cell type (except a suspected typical carcinoid tumor, carcinoma in situ or minimally-invasive carcinoma). - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written, willing to sign a consent form document. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Participants who are actively receiving any cancer treatment. - Participants with uncontrolled intercurrent illness. - Prior lung cancer within 5 years. - Current active other major cancer except non-melanoma skin cancer. - Patients with pure ground glass opacities (nodules) or hilar masses. - Suspected typical carcinoid cell type (well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma). - Metastatic nodule (suspected) in the lung from an extrapulmonary cancer. - Patient unable to provide willing to sign a consent form. - Prisoner or incarcerated individual. - For surgical patients, a R1 or R2 resection. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

DetermaRX

A lung tissue biomarker to risk stratify patients immediately after curative lung cancer resections into groups with low risk versus intermediate-high risk for recurrence of cancer. Intermediate-high risk patients will be advised to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy with the expectation of decreasing their chance of recurrence. The effectiveness and toxicity of the adjuvant chemotherapy itself is considered not part of the study-just the decision to recommend adjuvant chemotherapy is the study intervention. Investigators will then evaluate the long-term survival results of low-risk patients (no adjuvant treatment) and intermediate-high risk patients receiving adjuvant treatment versus intermediate-high risk patients who decline adjuvant therapy.
