About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study for the Early Diagnosis of Lung Cancer in Korean Females Who Are Never Smoker with a Family History of Lung Cancer

This is a single-arm prospective pilot study in a single institution. The target accrual is 200 participants of Korean, female sex, never smoker status, and family history of lung cancer. The study will aim to enroll 200 participants in two years.

Read the detailed description

Interested individuals will contact a research coordinator who will help to assess for study eligibility. Individuals who are eligible and able to sign informed consent will then proceed to have a LDCT screening exam with a result reported by a radiologist approved to read lung cancer screening scans. Results of this screening test will be discussed with the subject and further recommendations will be given. Negative results will proceed to have repeat LDCT exams for two additional years. Positive results will be recommended to have further diagnostic work-up, and possible treatment. Those with positive findings may be recommended to repeat a LDCT at varied intervals (e.g. at 3 months, at 6 months, etc.) per Lung-RADS recommendations which can be conducted as a research LDCT or as standard-of-care.

In addition, blood draw collection for a plasma-based assay will be collected at baseline, first year and second year for all patients along with the repeated LDCT scans.

A medical history questionnaire containing questions regarding ethnicity, family history of lung cancer, environmental exposures including secondhand smoke exposure, and a residential district to estimate the exposure of PM2.5 or PM10 will be given to the patient at the initial visit after informed consent has been obtained (Appendix A). Questionnaire can be collected within 1 month from the baseline consent.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Low dose CTDiagnostic test

    A subject can voluntarily discontinue active screening with LDCTs after the baseline LDCT is completed but will remain in study follow-up with follow-up calls in 12-month intervals for up to 10 years since initial consent

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Lung cancer detection rate

    detection rate

    Measured: up to 2years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. incidence of lung cancer

    Whether lung cancer is found in each screening test conducted for the first (baseline) and first and second years

    Measured: up to 2years

  2. distribution of lung cancer stages

    number of lung cancer diagnosed, number of stage I, rate of surgery, rate of false positive

    Measured: up to 2years

  3. Estimation of the Early Detection Rate of Lung Cancer in Liquid Biopsy

    cfDNA

    Measured: up to 2years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low dose CT in people with Health Risk Behaviors, run by Sang-Won Um at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Um Sang-Won, PhD (82-2-3410-1645, sangwonum72@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lung cancer detection rate (time frame: up to 2years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2025.
