Addition of microRNA Blood Test to Lung Cancer Screening Low Dose CT

Overview

To demonstrate that the specificity of the Hummingbird microRNA profile for the diagnosis of lung cancer in a cohort of patients who meet current eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening in the U.S. is superior to the specificity of LDCT.

This is a prospective, longitudinal, blinded, observational diagnostic study on 400 individuals undergoing lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). There will be two patient cohorts: Cohort 1: individuals undergoing their first or subsequent annual LDCT screening study; and Cohort 2: individuals referred for a follow-up diagnostic chest CT scan due to a lung-RADS category 3 or 4 result on a previous LDCT scan. At study enrollment a blood sample will be drawn prior to the LDCT scan. On this blood sample a novel lung cancer test relying on microRNA signatures will be evaluated. The results will be compared with the CT scan results and follow-up tests including pathology. Histologic results and follow-up data will be collected on all patients for a minimum of 12 months post-enrollment. During the follow-up period, the results of all diagnostic chest CT scans, lung biopsies or lung resections will be captured from the Partners electronic medical record and entered into the case report form (CRF).
