Breath test for early lung cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- A chest CT scan found a lung nodule that is 6 millimeters or larger.
- You do not have any other active cancer (except possibly lung cancer).
- You can avoid smoking tobacco for 24 hours before the breath test.
- You are not pregnant and have not had a respiratory infection in the last 3 months.
- You are willing and able to give your consent.

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 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 looks at whether a new test can better identify early lung cancer in people who are being watched for an incidental lung nodule. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer follow-up or treatment.
This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny genetic markers (miRNA and DNA methylation) that may help detect lung cancer early. If you have a lung nodule or mass found on a CT scan and haven't had treatment yet, you may be able to join.
