E-Nose Breathprint Testing for Mesothelioma
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The researchers are doing this study to test the ability of a new technology called breathprinting, or electronic nose (E-Nose), to measure how people respond to standard treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The researchers will study how E-Nose breathprints change over time as people receive standard treatment for MPM. They will also look at how changes in people's E-Nose breathprints compare to changes in their standard imaging scans and in biomarkers of MPM in their blood.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What data supports the effectiveness of the E-Nose Breathprint Testing treatment for Mesothelioma?
Is E-Nose Breathprint Testing safe for humans?
How does the E-Nose Breathprint Testing treatment for mesothelioma differ from other treatments?
The E-Nose Breathprint Testing is unique because it uses a non-invasive breath analysis to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) specific to mesothelioma, potentially allowing for earlier diagnosis compared to traditional methods. This approach is novel as it focuses on identifying disease-specific breath profiles, which could lead to a screening tool for high-risk populations, unlike existing treatments that typically address the disease after diagnosis.78111213
