About this trial
This multicenter prospective cohort study will enroll adults who have undergone resection of a primary pulmonary nodule and have residual multiple pulmonary nodules or require routine postoperative pulmonary nodule follow-up. During clinically indicated follow-up visits, a small amount of peripheral venous blood will be collected at the same time as routine blood draws for research CyTOF immune phenotyping and viral imprinting-related serology. The study will not assign participants to treatment, change follow-up schedules, imaging, medication, surgery, or other clinical care. Research laboratory results will not be returned to participants or entered into medical records. The study will describe longitudinal peripheral immune-cell profiles and explore associations among T/B/NK cell phenotypes, T-cell differentiation and senescence/exhaustion markers, viral imprinting markers, and postoperative residual or new pulmonary nodule evolution.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18 years or older, any sex. Primary pulmonary nodule has been surgically resected, with residual multiple pulmonary nodules or a need for pulmonary nodule-related routine postoperative follow-up.
Disqualifiers
Investigator judges that the participant is unsuitable for additional small-volume blood collection, such as severe anemia, obvious coagulation abnormality, recent severe bleeding, or high risk of severe vasovagal reaction.
Trial population
Adults who have undergone surgical resection of a primary pulmonary nodule and have residual multiple pulmonary nodules or require routine postoperative pulmonary nodule follow-up at participating centers. Participants will be identified from thoracic surgery clinics, inpatient services, and routine postoperative follow-up programs. Eligible participants will provide written informed consent and will be followed according to usual clinical care; research blood samples and study data will be collected at clinically scheduled visits when routine blood draws and follow-up data are available.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change from baseline in percentage of peripheral blood CD8+ CD57+ T cells measured by CyTOF
CyTOF mass cytometry will measure percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, NK cells, Naive/TCM/TEM/TEMRA subsets, CD57-positive cells, HLA-DR/CD38-positive cells, and PD-1/CTLA-4/TIM-3/TIGIT-positive cells. The outcome is the change from baseline in each prespecified percentage or marker-positive frequency.
Secondary outcomes
Number and percentage of participants with pulmonary nodule evolution events assessed by routine chest CT
CMV IgG serostatus measured by institutional immunoassay
Research blood collection completion rate
Blood draw-related adverse events
