Single-Center CyTOF and Viral Imprinting Study in Postoperative Multiple Pulmonary Nodules
200 participantsStarted 2026-07
Plain-language summary
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.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* 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.
Planned routine postoperative follow-up at a participating center and able to provide a research blood sample together with routine blood draw when clinically available.
Able to understand the study and willing to provide written informed consent before research blood sample collection.
Exclusion Criteria:
* 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.
Acute severe infection, acute major organ dysfunction, or other condition that may substantially affect peripheral immune status and makes study participation unsuitable.
Current strong immunosuppressive therapy that may substantially affect peripheral immune status and cannot be adequately recorded or adjusted for in analysis.
Unable to complete informed consent or explicitly refuses use of research blood samples and related data for this study.
Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes participation inappropriate.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
