🥳 We are very pleased to announce that the protocol for the prospective clinical study of the LUCIA EU Project has just been published in the BMJ Open journal. 🔬The LUCIA clinical study is a multicentre, observational, longitudinal cohort study led by IIS Biobizkaia and Osakidetza that will recruit approximately 4,000 participants across four European regions: Andalusia and the Basque Country (Spain), Liège (Belgium) and Riga (Latvia). 🚭 The study population includes smokers, never-smokers and reduced smokers with low-to-moderate lung cancer risk. Data collection includes sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, environmental and occupational exposures, lifestyle factors, spirometry, multi-omics profiles and outputs from novel non-invasive devices, including a breath analyser, spectrometry-on-card and a skin-applied volatile organic compound sensing patch. 🩻 The study will develop and validate integrated lung cancer risk prediction models and evaluate the diagnostic performance of these technologies to support population stratification and personalised screening.
