Study Summary

This trial is investigating how well different types of biospecimens can be used to screen for and manage lung cancer, with the goal of developing precision medicine. A co-clinical trial approach will be used, meaning data from the treatment of genetic mouse models of lung cancer will be compared with clinical samples and data from lung cancer patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for current or former smokers aged 18-74 with a significant smoking history, who are candidates for lung cancer treatment. It includes those planning surgery or radiation therapy and excludes individuals with certain medical conditions, recent weight loss, or other cancers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to advance precision medicine by collecting blood/urine samples and tissue biopsies from lung cancer patients. These biospecimens will be used to identify genetic mutations and improve liquid biopsy techniques in conjunction with mouse model research.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve sample collection and biopsies, potential side effects may include discomfort at the collection site, bleeding, infection risk from the procedures, and possible adverse reactions in people sensitive to such interventions.

Trial Design

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Solid tumor cancer w/ radiation therapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Blood/Urine Sample Collection Blood and/or urine sample collection prior to radiation treatment. Blood and/or urine collection after completion of radiation therapy. Blood and/or urine collection at subsequent visits for next 5 years.
Group II: Lung/ Head and Neck Cancer GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Blood/Urine Sample Collection Fresh tissue biopsy A one time fresh tissue biopsy of the patient's lung cancer (outside of their normal standard of care biopsy) will be collected for the research. Patients will also complete research blood and urine sample collections every two to four weeks for one year, then up to 120 days for years two through five.
Group III: Lung cancer with planned resectionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Blood/Urine Sample Collection Blood and/or urine sample collection one time before surgery and one time after surgery. Blood and/or urine sample collection at subsequent visits. Fresh tissue biopsy Tissue sample collection from surgery is there is any tissue considered to be pathological waste that would normally be discarded.
Group IV: Healthy people who exerciseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Blood/Urine Sample Collection Blood and urine collection one time prior to exercise and one time after exercise.
Group V: Chronic inflammatory diseaseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Blood/Urine Sample Collection A one time blood and urine sample collection will be completed.
Group VI: At risk for lung cancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Blood/Urine Sample Collection A one time blood and urine sample collection will be completed.
