Breath test may reveal who benefits from lung cancer immunotherapy

NCT ID NCT05985330

First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether measuring nitric oxide in a person's breath can predict how well they will respond to immunotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Participants take a simple breath test before starting immunotherapy and again after four treatment cycles. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from this treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If breath nitric oxide levels reliably predict immunotherapy success, doctors could tailor treatment more precisely for lung cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not be conclusive. The breath test may not prove accurate enough to guide treatment decisions.
