Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new breath test to quickly find the cause of respiratory infections. If you are in the hospital with a cough or cold, this test might help get the right treatment faster.

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 evaluates a home test kit that detects respiratory infections like the flu, RSV, and COVID-19 from a simple nose swab. It helps see if the test works well when used outside a clinic.
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 trial uses a rapid test in the emergency department to quickly identify the exact cause of your respiratory infection, such as the flu or other viruses. This may help doctors choose the right treatment faster, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving outcomes.
This study tests whether a special breath test can help find respiratory infections (like pneumonia or sore throat) more easily. It might help doctors diagnose infections faster and with less discomfort than some current methods.
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.
