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 uses a special device called an electronic nose to analyze your breath and look for signs of several diseases. It is a simple, non-invasive test that may help find health issues earlier, possibly leading to better treatment outcomes.
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 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 testing a new breath test that may help detect cancer by looking for unique chemicals in your breath. It could be a non-invasive way to help diagnose or monitor cancer.
This study is developing a simple breathing test to check how tobacco, cannabis, cocaine, opioids, or alcohol may affect your lungs. It could help you understand your lung health and guide future care.
