About this trial

The goal of this study is to develop new techniques for minimal residual disease(MRD) monitoring and to confirm the efficacy and safety of MRD-guided postoperative management for early stage non-small cell lung cancer. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* How to develop multi-omics-based high-sensitivity detection methods to accurately capture MRD and monitor postoperative recurrence in lung cancer? * Is adaptive treatment guided by ctDNA-MRD for lung cancer patients superior to traditional clinical management and effectively improves survival? * Do heterogeneous patient populations (grouped by stages, histopathological subtypes, driver mutations, and treatment histories) show differences in effects under ctDNA-MRD guided postoperative management strategies?

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Non-small cell lung cancer with stage IA-IIIA (8th edition TNM classification) planning to undergo curative surgery or to undergo neoadjuvant therapy

Solid nodules >1 cm or ground-glass nodules >1.5 cm on imaging

No history of malignancies other than non-small cell lung cancer in the past 5 years

Specimens are well preserved and imaging documents are accessible.

Disqualifiers

Age<18 years old

Non-small cell lung cancer with pathologic stage IIIB-IV (8th edition TNM classification)

Pathology results confirmed not to be non-small cell lung cancer

History of malignancies other than non-small cell lung cancer in the past 5 years

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Adaptive postoperative management based on minimal residual disease

    Other intervention

    participants will not receive postoperative treatment if (neoadjuvant therapy efficacy reaches pCR and) MRD results keep negative.

Treatment groups

1,000 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: adaptive postoperative management groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: standard clinical postoperative management groupNo intervention 0 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Two-year recurrence-free survival rate

The difference in the proportion of patients with (suspected) relapse or metastasis between the intervention group and the control group within two years.

Time frame
Time from curative surgery to confirmation of clinical progression (recurrence or metastasis) within two years.

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival

The difference in overall survival between the intervention group and the control group.

Time frame
Time from curative surgery to confirmation of death (any cause),assessed up to 60 months.
2

Incremental cost effectiveness ratio

The cost of lung cancer-related treatment, including the cost of drugs, follow-up treatment, drug management costs (consultation fees, anti-tumor drug allocation fees, intravenous infusion fees, nursing fees, etc.), follow-up costs, laboratory tests and imaging examination costs, and the management costs of adverse reactions (1 cycle is counted as 1 time), and the per capita standard expenses calculated according to the Checkmate816 study protocol and China's expenses were used to calculate ICER.

Time frame
24 months after surgery
3

Timely diagnosis rate by the novel MRD monitoring technique

The proportion of patients with recurrence signals detected by non-invasive methods prior to clinical confirmation of recurrence/metastasis, and quantify the mean lead time.

Time frame
two years
4

Sensitivity of the novel MRD monitoring approach

Evaluate the sensitivity of the novel MRD-based assay against previous ctDNA-MRD-only approaches. Use receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and limit of detection (LoD) analyses for cross-platform comparison.

Time frame
two years
