Breath sniffing tech may replace scans for mesothelioma patients

NCT ID NCT06037941

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new breath test, called an electronic nose (E-Nose), to see if it can measure how well treatment is working for people with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Researchers will collect breath samples from 20 patients before and during standard treatment, and compare the results to CT scans and blood tests. The goal is to find a simpler, non-invasive way to track the disease.

Active substance

E-Nose breath test

What this could lead to

If successful, this breath test could offer a simple, non-invasive way to monitor how well mesothelioma treatment is working, potentially reducing the need for frequent scans.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early study with only 20 people. The breath test may not accurately reflect treatment response, and results may not apply to all patients.
