DECAMP 1 PLUS: Prediction of Lung Cancer Using Noninvasive Biomarkers (NCT04165564)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Boston University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

DECAMP 1 PLUS aims to improve the efficiency of the diagnostic evaluation of patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules (8-25 mm). Molecular biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis measured in minimally invasive and non-invasive biospecimens may be able to distinguish between malignant or benign indeterminate pulmonary nodules in high-risk smokers. Ultimately, this study aims to validate molecular as well as clinical and imaging biomarkers of lung cancer in individuals with indeterminate lung nodules.
