Overview

This research is being done to determine if an image-based deep learning model (Sybil) can accurately predict the likelihood of future lung cancer based on chest computed tomography (CT) imaging from individuals with a family history of lung cancer.

Description

This is a non-therapeutic study that will enroll individuals who have a family history of lung cancer. During the study, participants will provide questionnaire responses regarding their personal medical history, family lung cancer history, and exposures along with contributing images from at least one previously obtained CT chest scan. The images and data collected will be analyzed by an image-based deep learning model (Sybil). Sybil is a type of artificial intelligence model that has been shown to accurately predict individuals' future risk of lung cancer based solely on images from a CT Chest scan, but it is unknown if it works well in people with a family history of lung cancer. It is expected that 2,250 will take part in this research study.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ≥18 years of age
  • Positive family history of lung cancer (defined as):
    • Has ≥1 first-degree relative OR
    • Has ≥2 second-degree relatives with a diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer or small cell lung cancer (NB: a first-degree relative = parent, sibling, or child, a second-degree relative = grandparent, blood-related aunt or uncle, grandchild, blood-related niece or nephew, half-sibling)
  • Willing to provide images from at least one previously obtained CT Chest scan, if available.

Exclusion Criteria:

\- None

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
