Breath test to find lung diseases
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a lung disease (like COPD, asthma, lung cancer, or pneumonia).
- You have a recent CT scan of your chest and can share an electronic copy.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have never had cancer other than lung cancer, and you have not had an organ or stem cell transplant.
- You do not have severe mental illness or other serious health problems (like diabetes or high cholesterol) that the doctors think might interfere.

This study tests a new breath test to find early signs of lung cancer in people at high risk. It looks for cancer biomarkers in the air you breathe out. If you are a heavy smoker between 55 and 74, this trial may help detect lung cancer earlier.
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 tests a breath test to detect lung cancer early in people with a lung nodule found on a CT scan. It aims to improve detection in diverse populations.
This trial is testing a simple breath test to see if it can tell whether a lung nodule is cancer or not. If you have a lung nodule that will be removed by surgery, you may be able to help find out if breathing into a device can replace more invasive tests.
This study is developing a simple breathing test to check how your lungs are doing if you use drugs or alcohol. You'll have breathing tests and answer some questions about your health and substance use.
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
