Validation and Determination of Feasibility for Clinical Use of an Animal Biosensor Platform to Detect Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer-Specific Volatile Organic Compounds in Urine Samples

NCT ID: NCT06033248Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterLast updated: 2025-07-20

Summary

The researchers are doing this study to test the ability of an animal biosensor platform (ABP) to detect NSCLC. Participants in this study will either be diagnosed with NSCLC, suspected to have NSCLC, or have not been diagnosed or suspected to have NSCLC. The ABP test uses laboratory animals that are trained to detect (by smell) different chemicals in urine. Studies show that people with lung cancer have unique chemicals in their urine that are not present in people without lung cancer, and researchers think these chemicals can be used to identify people with lung cancer without the need for invasive procedures (like biopsy).

Arms & interventions
