Breath test for fungal infections in leukemia patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acute leukemia.
- You are scheduled to receive chemotherapy that will require you to be in the hospital for at least 2 weeks.
- You currently have a very low white blood cell count (less than 500 per microliter) or are expected to have this low count for more than 7 days during chemotherapy.

This study aims to detect invasive lung aspergillosis earlier by testing samples from your lungs and measuring specific lab markers. It may help doctors start the right antifungal treatment sooner when the infection is suspected.
This study uses a breath test to quickly identify the specific type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and predict how well treatment might work. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapy for each patient.
This study uses a special machine to analyze exhaled breath to learn about different illnesses in children and teens. It may help researchers find breathing “signals” that reflect conditions like breathing problems, nervous system issues, or new/worsening type 1 diabetes.
This study uses a blood test to find fungal lung infections in people with blood cancers or those who had a stem cell transplant. It may help doctors diagnose and treat infections faster.
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 trial is testing a new breath test that can quickly find out if you have a lung infection. It might help get the right treatment faster and reduce the need for more invasive tests.
