About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn if cfDNA fragmentomics can noninvasively diagnose whether lung nodules are benign or malignant in adults with imaging-detected lung nodules.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years;

Participants whose lung nodule status (benign or malignant) can be clinically confirmed;

No cancer-directed therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, cell therapy) within the past 3 months;

Able to provide a 5 mL peripheral blood sample prior to any treatment;

Disqualifiers

Pregnant or breastfeeding;

Current or past diagnosis (within the past 5 years) of malignant tumors (excluding patients with early-stage lung cancer who have undergone surgery but still have multiple evaluable nodules), or with severe heart disease, serious liver or kidney disorders, or significant bone marrow hematopoietic dysfunction;

History of organ transplantation or blood transfusion within the past 3 months;

History of seropositivity for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV);

Trial population

This study will enroll adults (≥18 years old) with CT-detected pulmonary nodules of specified types and sizes, who are willing to undergo diagnostic confirmation and provide a peripheral blood sample prior to treatment. Participants must not have received cancer therapy within the last 3 months.
