Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To demonstrate and validate a breath test for detection of early stage lung cancer that could potentially reduce number of deaths.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter study comparing several groups of subjects with and without lung cancer by CT scan, biopsy and the breath test. The breath test will be performed to validate the methodology and the predictive algorithm that were previously developed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

Asymptomatic High Risk Subjects. Smokers aged \>=18 undergoing chest CT.

Breath collected using Breath Collection Apparatus and analyzed for markers of lung cancer.

Breath Collection Apparatus

Intervention Type DEVICE

Breath collected and analyzed for markers of lung cancer.

2

Symptomatic High Risk Subjects Without a Tissue Diagnosis. This group will comprise patients who are undergoing medical evaluation for a pulmonary symptom such as chronic unexplained cough or hemoptysis.

Breath collected using Breath Collection Apparatus and analyzed for markers of lung cancer.

Breath Collection Apparatus

Intervention Type DEVICE

Breath collected and analyzed for markers of lung cancer.

3

Symptomatic High Risk Subjects With a Tissue Diagnosis. This group will be found to include a. lung cancer, and b. diseases other than lung cancer e.g. sarcoidosis, COPD or pulmonary infection.

Breath collected using Breath Collection Apparatus and analyzed for markers of lung cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Patient is willing and able to cooperate with study and give signed informed consent to participate.
2. Patient has had (or will have) chest imaging with spiral CT within 7 days of breath test.
3. Age at least 18 years.
4. History of at least 10 pack-years of cigarette smoking.
5. Provide written informed consent prior to admission into the study.


1. Patient is willing and able to cooperate with study and give signed informed consent to participate.
2. Patient does not have a tissue diagnosis of pulmonary disease.
3. Patient is undergoing evaluation for an unexplained pulmonary illness which is clinically consistent with lung cancer. This includes patients with unexplained symptoms (e.g. chronic unexplained cough or hemoptysis), unexplained signs (e.g. weight loss, lymphadenopathy) or unexplained investigations (e.g. an abnormal chest x-ray).
4. Actively smoking patients, as well as never smokers and former smokers are eligible for the study so long as a complete smoking consumption history can be recorded.


1. Patient is willing and able to cooperate with study and give signed informed consent to participate.
2. Patient has a tissue diagnosis of a. lung cancer. or b. pulmonary disease other than lung cancer e.g. sarcoidosis, COPD, or pulmonary infection.
3. A diagnosis of lung cancer is defined as cytologic or histologic confirmation of lung cancer by bronchoscopic/thoracoscopic means, sputum cytology, percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy. Patients may have either non-small cell lung cancer or small cell lung cancer.
4. Breath VOC collection will be obtained prior to any invasive procedure e.g. thoracotomy, mediastinoscopy or mediastinotomy.
5. Actively smoking patients, as well as never smokers and former smokers are eligible for the study so long as a complete smoking consumption history can be recorded.


1. Willingness to follow protocol requirements as evidenced by written, informed consent.
2. Healthy, male or female subjects, ages 18 and older.
3. Subjects who are non smokers having no signs or symptoms of lung carcinoma
