About this study
Official title: Diagnostic Performance of Small RNA Blood Test in Patients Undergoing Follow-up Imaging After Positive Low Dose CT Screening for Cancer of the Lung "Early Detection of Lung Cancer Based on Small RNA Signatures - Boston II"
2,000 individuals, aged 50-80 who have received a lung-RADS category 3 or 4 result on a LDCT screening study and who are scheduled for follow-up diagnostic imaging study, biopsy, clinical consultation or surgical appointment at one of the participating hospitals.
Read the detailed description
The study is a prospective, longitudinal, observational study to evaluate the performance of a novel diagnostic test for early-stage lung cancer.
Study duration: Expected patient enrollment to be completed within 12 months after study initiation. Patients will be followed for a minimum of 12 months from the date of enrollment. The study duration is approximately 2 years.
Participant duration: The day of blood collection. Participants will follow their regular standard of care schedule as recommended by existing guidelines; no extra visits are planned. Follow up data will be obtained from the electronic medical record within at least 12 months of follow-up period.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Small RNA-based lung cancer assayDiagnostic test
At study enrollment, a blood sample is collected prior to any invasive diagnostic procedure or treatment. A small RNA-based lung cancer assay is performed on the collected blood sample for research purposes. Assay results are not returned to participants or investigators and are not used for clinical decision-making.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Participants undergoing diagnostic evaluation following positive LDCT screening | Participants undergoing further diagnostic evaluation following a positive LDCT lung cancer screening result. A blood sample is collected at enrollment, prior to any invasive diagnostic procedure or treatment, for evaluation of a small RNA-based lung cancer assay. Participants are followed to determine the final clinical diagnosis. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Small RNA-based lung cancer assay |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Primary Objective
The study is a prospective, longitudinal, observational study to evaluate the performance of a novel diagnostic test for early-stage lung cancer. The primary endpoint is to detect the presence or absence of lung cancer, as determined by all follow-up imaging, and pathological data obtained throughout the duration of the study.
Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Hummingbird Diagnostics at 11 sites in United States.
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 5 inclusion and 5 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 sites in United States. 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?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Primary Objective (time frame: 1 year). 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 30 Sep 2026.
