77.9; 65.7; 81.3

Summary

Primary Objective: * To determine the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the Biomoda CyPath™ Early Lung Cancer Detection Assay using sputum specimens from two cohorts of participants and estimate the required sample size to finalize a protocol for a pivotal study. Secondary Objectives: * To assess the capability of the Biomoda CyPath™ Early Lung Cancer Detection Assay in a clinical setting to identify cancer cells, as assessed by TCPP labeled cancer cells demonstrating red fluorescence under a microscope with ultraviolet (UV) light being observed with a FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate) Filter. * To assess the capability of the Biomoda CyPath™ Early Lung Cancer Detection Assay to detect pre-invasive cancer in comparison with PAP sputum cytology and routine CT scan.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female Veterans
  • Study Participants must be willing to provide primary care physician contact information and agree to have medical information released if indicated
  • Meet requirements of one of the two cohorts in the study:
  • Cohort 1: Heavy Smoker
  • Defined as 20 pack years or greater (e.g., 1 pack/day for 20 years or 2 packs/day for 10 years).
  • Cohort 2: Known Lung Cancer
  • Recently diagnosed with Stage I - IV lung cancer with either central (bronchogenic) or peripheral tumor location, and prior to surgery or other therapy for the cancer; Participants with a central or peripheral pulmonary recurrence of lung cancer following primary therapy may also be enrolled. Sputum samples for this cohort may be collected at or after a diagnostic bronchoscopy.

Exclusion Criteria
