Observational Study: Breath Test for COVID-19
This study is looking at whether chemicals in your breath can show if you have COVID-19. Researchers will measure different chemicals in the breath of people with and without COVID-19. They will compare these breath measurements to results from a nasal swab test (like the ones used to diagnose COVID-19). The goal is to see if a breath test could be a quick and easy way to find out if someone has COVID-19, potentially for screening at large events. You can join if you are between 18 and 70 years old. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status, but plans to enroll 60 people.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to enroll 60 participants. It is not a treatment study, but rather looks at how breath chemicals relate to COVID-19 status.
- What's involved
- You would provide a breath sample and a nasal swab. All measurements will be made over about 2 hours on the day you enroll.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Measurements are taken on the day of enrollment over 2 hours. No further follow-up is specified.

What this trial measures
- Exhaled chemicals in breath will be compared with COVID statusOn the day of enrollment, all measurement will be made over the course of 2 hours.
Between subjects with and without COVID, changes in the chemical composition of exhaled breath are correlated with markers of COVID infection: 1) antigen testing of nasal mucous sample and 2) RT-PCR testing of nasal mucous sample.
- Measurement of chemical composition in exhaled breathOn the day of enrollment, all measurement will be made over the course of 2 hours.
Each subject will provide two breath samples. Each sample will be analyzed by the RISE device.
- Assessment of COVID status using nasal swab.On the day of enrollment, all measurement will be made over the course of 2 hours.
Two nasal swabs will be collected for each subject. One nasal swab will be evaluated by antigen testing and the other sample will be analyzed using RT-PCR.
