Could a simple breath test spot liver cirrhosis early?
NCT ID NCT07035158
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a special drink (EVOC probe) can help detect liver cirrhosis by measuring chemicals in a person's breath. Researchers will compare breath samples from 240 people with and without cirrhosis to build a risk model. The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive test that could be used in doctor's offices to screen for cirrhosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Libra Oral Solution (EVOC Probe)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive breath test to screen for liver cirrhosis in primary care, reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage case-control study (240 participants) to develop a risk model, not a validation trial. The test may not perform well in broader populations or different settings.
