  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Those fitting inclusionary criteria between 20 and 85 years of age, with or without history of pulmonary disease or cancer.

Who may be able to join

  • For controlled (healthy) subjects - we are seeking persons who do not have a known history of cancer or pulmonary disease.
  • Both smokers and nonsmokers are invited to participate as control subjects.
  • For experimental subjects, we are seeking persons with pulmonary disease but no known history of cancer, as identified by the investigators during routine clinic or office visits.
  • Additionally for experimental subjects, we are seeking persons with known or suspected lung or other cancers, as identified by the investigators during routine clinic or office visits.

About this study

Use of a microfabricated silicon device to concentrate ultra trace volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human exhaled breath for quantitative analysis of VOCs.

Read the detailed description

Will use Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FT-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to analyze concentrated VOCs. The purpose of this study is to search for disease-related markers in the breath in subjects with known or suspected lung or other cancer, or pulmonary disease.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Detection of disease related markers (biomarkers) from concentrated volatile organic compounds in breath samples

    The concentrated volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath samples will be analyzed by statistical software for search for disease related markers (biomarkers).

    Measured: 1 day (After sample collection)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Pulmonary Disease, run by University of Louisville at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection of disease related markers (biomarkers) from concentrated volatile organic compounds in breath samples (time frame: 1 day (After sample collection)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2021.
