Can a breath test detect COVID-19?
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that measures chemicals in your breath to see if it can quickly tell if you have COVID-19. If successful, it could lead to a fast, non-invasive way to check for the virus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You need to have either a positive COVID-19 test (PCR or antigen) or a negative test to be part of the control group.
- You must be able to provide a breath sample through a large drinking straw-sized tube.
- You cannot have severe lung disease or be in respiratory failure.
- You cannot have uncontrolled diabetes like ketoacidosis.
- You cannot smoke cigarettes, e-cigarettes, tobacco, or marijuana daily.

This study tests a breathalyzer device that quickly detects COVID-19, flu, and RSV from your breath. If you are already being tested for these viruses, you may join to see if this new method works as well as the usual swab test.
This study checks if a new breath test (eBAM-CoV) can accurately detect COVID-19 compared to the usual nose/throat swab test (RT-PCR). If you have symptoms or were exposed and are getting tested anyway, you may be able to help by also providing a breath sample.
This study tests a breath analysis method to help diagnose respiratory infections like pneumonia, bronchitis, or sinusitis. It may offer a faster, non-invasive way to identify infections.
This trial is testing a new at-home test for respiratory infections like the flu and COVID-19. The test is done by you or a caregiver using a nose swab. It may help you get quick and accurate results without going to a clinic.
This study tests a new breath test to quickly detect respiratory infections. If you have a recent cold, sore throat, or pneumonia, you may be able to help by providing a breath sample.
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.
