Overview
Brief Summary
AnchorDx is using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation analysis by next-generation sequencing (NGS) to develop a blood-based assay for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules early. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of this assay in patients with pulmonary nodules.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational cohort study and seeks to enroll 10,560 participants with pulmonary nodules smaller than 3 cm in diameter from 21 hospitals in China. All participants will be followed up with chest CT or low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans for 2-3 years ( baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months and 36 months). Their blood samples, CT or LDCT scans data, and clinical data will be collected at each visit and Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues will be collected when participants who receive pneumonectomy or percutaneous lung biopsy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The diagnostic performance of the blood-based assay for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules early using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation analysis by next-generation sequencing (NGS)
Time Frame: 3 Years
The efficacy of the blood-based ctDNA methylation assay comparing with pathologic diagnosis, the gold standard, and CT/LDCT diagnosis, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV).
Secondary Outcomes
- The diagnostic and monitoring significance of routine tests integrating with ctDNA methylation analysis by NGS in differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules(3 Years)
