Could your doctor's office give the same breath test results as a hospital?
NCT ID NCT06611293
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether the location where a breath test is performed—a primary care clinic versus a hospital—changes the results. Healthy adults will provide breath samples in both settings on different days. The goal is to see if breath tests developed in hospitals can be reliably used in everyday clinics.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- breath test
- What this could lead to
- If the environment does not affect results, breath tests developed in hospitals could be reliably used in doctor's offices, making diagnosis easier and more accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on healthy volunteers. Differences in air quality or equipment between settings may still cause variability that limits real-world use.
