Program Factors Associated with the Psychosocial Outcomes of Lung Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
This review provides the first synthesised evidence to help guide LCS program design to minimise psychosocial harm for participants. Study heterogeneity and high risk of bias suggests that more robust testing of the impact of program design on psychosocial outcomes in real-world settings is needed. Future research should focus on developing feasible methods of managing the psychosocial experiences of LCS which complement the implementation requirements of large-scale screening programs.

Integrating multiple biomarkers for early lung cancer detection in people undergoing CT screening: The iDx-Lung Study – initial correlates of demographics with analytical results (BTOG 2023)
The iDx-lung study will evaluate biomarkers and build a prediction model for the early detection of lung cancer to improve current LDCT screening protocols. The team of academic and industrial partners have successfully completed the set-up phase of this large-scale translational study. Recruitment, sample collection and analysis is underway.

Assessment of the EarlyCDT-Lung test as an early biomarker of lung cancer in ever-smokers - A retrospective nested case-control study in two prospective cohorts. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
Stratified analysis indicated higher sensitivity (17%, 95% CI, 7.2-32.1) in subjects with blood drawn up to 1 year prior to diagnosis. In conclusion, our study does not support a role of the EarlyCDT-Lung test in identifying the high-risk subjects in ever-smokers for lung cancer screening in the EPIC and NSHDS cohorts.

Economic Analysis of the Screening Strategy for Lung Cancer with Liquid Biopsy from a Brazilian Perspective (ISPOR 2023)
All results were concentrated above Brazilian GDP per capita, indicating that this strategy was not cost-effective in Brazil. The screening with liquid biopsy would only become cost effective if the Brazilian lung cancer prevalence context was greater than 15%.

EarlyCDT Lung blood test for risk classification of solid pulmonary nodules: systematic review and economic evaluation. (PubMed, Health Technol Assess)
Prospective cohort studies, in which EarlyCDT Lung is used among patients with identified pulmonary nodules, are required to support a future assessment of the clinical and economic value of this test. Studies should investigate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical impact of EarlyCDT Lung in combination with Brock and Herder risk assessments. A well-designed cost-effectiveness study is also required, integrating emerging relevant evidence with the recommendations in this report.

Comparison between Protein and Autoantibody Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer (IASLC-WCLC 2022)
The EarlyCDT®-Lung test had low sensitivity in identifying lung cancer cases in the general population based on blood drawn at most three years prior to diagnosis. In contrast, the risk discriminative performance of a protein-based risk model was notably better than the EarlyCDT-Lung test, as well as in comparison with the well-established PLCOm2012 smoking history-based risk prediction model. The potential of circulating proteins to inform eligibility for lung cancer screening warrant further evaluation in large-scale studies.

Performance of the EarlyCDT® Lung test in detection of lung cancer and pulmonary metastases in a high-risk cohort. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
The rationale of screening for lung cancer is to find patients in an early and resectable stage. However, the EarlyCDT® Lung test performed best in elderly, late stage lung cancer patients with a heavy smoking history. Based on these results, the current study finds insufficient sensitivity of the EarlyCDT® Lung test to be used as part of inclusion criteria in a low-dose CT program for detection of lung cancer.

Can autoantibody tests enhance lung cancer screening?-an evaluation of EarlyCDT-Lung in context of the German Lung Cancer Screening Intervention Trial (LUSI). (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
Specificity was estimated at 88.9% (95% CI: 80.5-94.5%) in the baseline control group, and 91.1% (95% CI: 83.2-96.1%) among controls presenting CT-detected nodules. The test panel showed insufficient sensitivity for detecting lung cancer at an equally early stage as with low-dose computed tomography screening.

Cost-effectiveness of a new autoantibody test added to Computed Tomography (CT) compared to CT surveillance alone in the diagnosis of lung cancer amongst patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules. (PubMed, PLoS One)
The results here demonstrate that at £70 per test the EarlyCDT-Lung will have a positive impact on patient outcomes and coupled with CT surveillance is a cost-effective approach to the management of patients with IPNs. The conclusions drawn from this analysis are robust to realistic variation in the parameters used in the model.

Earlier diagnosis of lung cancer in a randomised trial of an autoantibody blood test followed by imaging. (PubMed, Eur Respir J)
There were non-significant differences in lung cancer and all-cause mortality after 2 years.ECLS compared EarlyCDT-Lung plus CT screening to standard clinical care (symptomatic presentation), and was not designed to assess the incremental contribution of the EarlyCDT-Lung test. The observation of a stage-shift towards earlier-stage lung cancer diagnosis merits further investigations to evaluate whether the EarlyCDT-Lung test adds anything to the emerging standard of LDCT.
