Who may be able to participate
The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.
1. adult patients aged 55-77 years who are current cigarette smokers (according to an algorithm using electronic medical record data), and 2. receive care at one of the five Massachusetts General Hospital community health centers.
1. patients who have previously received a diagnosis of lung cancer, 2. have undergone a chest CT within 18 months before enrollment, 3. are subsequently identified as having died prior to the study intervention, 4. deemed by their primary care provider as not eligible for lung screening.
Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
