Breath test for airway inflammation in lung diseases and healthy people
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a simple breath test (Inflammacheck device) to see if it can measure airway inflammation in people with various lung conditions, including lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, and COPD, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases using your breath.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have one of these conditions: confirmed or suspected lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, COPD, other lung disease like bronchiectasis, or be a healthy person without lung disease.
- You must be willing to do a breath test (blowing into a small device).
- You cannot have an active respiratory infection (except pneumonia) or have smoked, vaped, or used e-cigarettes within 12 hours before the test.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must be able to understand and communicate in English (with or without a translator).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study works on better ways to collect and analyze substances from your breath. It may help researchers test how well these “breath markers” reflect lung or whole-body inflammation.
This study compares the lungs of people with airway disease to healthy volunteers to understand inflammation and lung function. You may be eligible if you have airway disease or are a healthy adult.
This trial studies new technologies to help doctors diagnose asthma and better understand airway inflammation. It may help you (or healthy volunteers, if eligible) by allowing your breathing tests and inflammation markers to be measured with newer diagnostic tools.
This study analyzes breath samples from adults with lung or airway problems. It may help researchers understand these conditions better by looking at what’s in your exhaled breath.
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.
This study tests a special breathalyser (VosCryo) to see if it can detect signs of lung cancer in exhaled breath. If you have advanced lung cancer or are a healthy companion, you may help understand how breath samples can be used for diagnosis or monitoring.
