Breath test may catch lung disease before standard tests do
NCT ID NCT05092035
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to find early signs of lung damage in people with COPD or ILD by analyzing carbon dioxide (CO2) in their breath in real time. Researchers aimed to detect changes before standard lung function tests show any problems. The study included 40 adults, including patients and healthy smokers and non-smokers. This is an early research step to see if the method works, not a treatment.
