NCT04649931

Brief Summary

Breath gas analysis is the evaluation of exhaled breath. It aims to evaluate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. In this feasibility study it is intended to find specific peaks/pattern in exhaled breath indicating an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • SARS-CoV-2 related volatile organic compounds (VOC)

    1 hour after breath gas sampling

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the SARS-CoV-2 specific VOC with the clinical symptoms of COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019)

    within 1 hour

Interventions

Two breathing gas samples will be taken from each study participant using ion mobility spectrometry with an ultrasound-based spirometer. The total sampling time is 1 minute (at least 5-7 breath takes) following an analysis time of 5-12 minutes.

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Adult patients with suspected or diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection.

You may qualify if:

  • PCR (= Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing for SARS CoV-2 will be/has been performed in a timely manner of sampling exhaled breath or PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 was performed within 96 hours, but preferably within 48 hours before sampling exhaled breath and PCR test result is already available
  • Subject must be able to comply with study-specific procedures, e.g.is able to comply with breathing commands

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous (history) SARS-CoV-2 infection, independent of the current episode
  • Participation in a therapeutic study prior to breath analysis which could influence the result of the breath analysis
