ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
  • A Study Measuring Markers of Airway Inflammation in Breath Samples From People With Respiratory Diseases and Healthy Volunteers. — Recruiting • Oncology • NCT07426718.
  • What is being tested: Non-invasive measurement of airway inflammation markers in breath samples to develop a potential screening tool for lung cancer, comparing patients with respiratory diseases and healthy volunteers.
  • Patient eligibility overview: Study includes individuals at risk of lung cancer, those with existing respiratory diseases (such as COPD or asthma), and healthy control volunteers to establish baseline inflammatory markers across different populations.

What This Trial Is Studying

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the UK, with over 35,000 deaths annually and most cases diagnosed at a late stage. Current screening programmes using low-dose CT scans target only high-risk individuals, missing around 30% of lung cancer cases, including many women and never-smokers. There is no simple, non-invasive tool to help triage patients with persistent respiratory symptoms who fall outside formal screening criteria. Inflammacheck® measures hydrogen peroxide and other breath biomarkers linked to airway inflammation and oxidative stress. Preliminary studies (VICTORY and ExPeL) have shown…

Clinical status: Belong to one of the defined diagnostic categories listed below: 1. Group A: Lung cancer confirmed by multidisciplinary team (MDT) diagnosis. 2. Group B: Suspected lung cancer (biopsy negative or awaiting further investigation). 3. Group C: Pneumonia (radiologically or clinically confirmed). 4. Group D: Non-malignant airways diseases (asthma or COPD). 5. Group E: Other non-malignant respiratory diseases (interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, breathing pattern disorder). 6. Group F: Healthy controls with no known respiratory disease. 4. Clinical documentation: Availability of relevant diagnostic and demographic data to confirm disease classification (for retrospective participants). 5. Previous participation: Individuals previously enrolled in the VICTORY or ExPeL studies may be included for retrospective data integration. 6. Willing and able to perform a breath test using the Inflammacheck® device. 7. Willing to allow access to relevant clinical data and imaging results 8. Be able to understand and communicate in English with or without the need for a translator, to ensure informed consent and comprehension of study procedures
