Breath test to quickly detect infections in blood cancer patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a quick breath test can detect infections early in people receiving intensive treatment for certain blood cancers or bone marrow transplant patients. If it works, it could help doctors find infections faster and adjust treatment sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re at least 18 years old when the study starts
- You have one of these conditions: AML/MDS, ALL/T-lymphoblastic lymphoma, aplastic anemia needing ATG, or you’re admitted for a bone marrow transplant (autologous or allogeneic within the last year or planned)
- You’re receiving intensive chemotherapy for the listed cancers, or you’re currently in transplant care
- You can sign an informed consent form
- You do not currently have signs of a lung/respiratory infection (based on symptoms and medical tests)
- If you joined a previous study, you must have fully cleared any prior respiratory infection signals (clinical, lab/microbiology, and scans)

This trial tests if a simple breath analysis can detect invasive fungal infections early in people with acute leukemia who are undergoing chemotherapy and have a low white blood cell count. Early detection could help start treatment sooner.
This study tests a new breath analysis method to quickly diagnose respiratory infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. If successful, it could lead to faster treatment for serious lung conditions.
This study uses a simple breath test to look for chemical patterns that might help detect cancer. By analyzing your breath, researchers hope to find a non-invasive way to diagnose cancer earlier.
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
