Surgical Drain Fluid for Detection of Molecular Residual Disease in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancers
Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to characterize post-surgical drain fluid, pleural fluid, collected from the drainage device placed during surgery, as a biomarker for molecular residual disease in patients with non small cell lung cancer.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
Cohorts 1 and 2: Non-small cell lung cancer
- Male or Female who is 18 years or older.
- Currently diagnosed with a NSCLC.
- Scheduled or will be scheduled for primary surgical resection with curative intent, with use of post-surgical drain
- The participant is cognitively able to consent to participate in the study
- The participant is healthy enough for blood draws and sample collection (at the discretion of the Investigator)
COHORTS 3 and 4: Healthy Controls/Comparators
- Male or Female who is 18 years or older.
- The participant is cognitively able to consent to participate in the study.
- The participant is healthy enough for a blood draw and sample collection (at the discretion of the Investigator).
- The patient has no history of a cancer diagnosis.
- Is scheduled to undergo a non-malignancy and non-infectious related surgical procedure, for example penetrating chest trauma, non-malignant pneumothorax, benign pleural effusion drainage, cardiac surgeries requiring chest tube placement which result in the use of surgical drain placements similar to those in cohorts 1 and 2.
Exclusion Criteria:
COHORTS 1 and 2: Non-small cell lung cancer
- Participant does not meet all inclusion criteria.
- Subject deemed not fit to participate at the Investigator’s discretion.
- Pulmonary carcinoid tumors (well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors).
- Participant has a history of a previous cancer diagnosis, other than: non-melanomatous localized cutaneous malignancies (e.g., SCC, BCC); non-metastatic prostate cancer; and non-metastatic well differentiated thyroid cancers within the last 5 years.
- Pregnancy at time of surgery
COHORTS 3 and 4: Healthy Controls/Comparators
- Participant does not meet all inclusion criteria.
- Subject deemed not fit to participate at the Investigator’s discretion.
- Participant undergoing surgery for infectious etiology.
- Pregnancy at time of surgery
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
