Although targeted therapies and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade have offered great advances, five-year survival rates remained low. Diagnosis of lung cancer at an earlier stage is the most efficient approach to improve survival. Tumor associated autoantibodies (TAAb) have been proven a promising innovative biomarker of lung cancer. We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of TAAbs in lung cancer detection, especially in early-stage patients, through a multicenter prospective observational clinical trial, and to screen out the novel combination of TAAbs with the best detection value for Chinese population. We aimed to enroll 1,400 participants from three clinical centers and divide into two cohorts. One cohort is participants with newly pathologically confirmed lung cancer as the case cohort, and the other is participants with benign nodules, matched healthy controls and other benign lung diseases as the control cohort. Cases and controls were randomly distributed into training or validation set. The level of 14 autoantibody candidates in their plasma were detected. A Monte-Carlo Simulated Annealing method was implemented to develop a composite panel of autoantibodies to distinguish between matched lung cancer cases and controls in the training set. The newly developed autoantibody panel was tested in the validation set for sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. This is the first and largest clinical trial designed to develop a novel autoantibody panel for lung cancer detection specifically for Chinese people. We performed a multicenter, prospective, observational study to find a novel panel of autoantibody markers that can help the diagnosis of lung cancer and the characterization of pulmonary nodules in Chinese population. The results may help to provide evidence-based recommendations to clinicians for lung cancer early detection and pulmonary nodule management.
