Clinical Trial: Cough Capture as a Portal Into the Lung
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Lung Diseases
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Cough Capture as a Portal Into the Lung-ICTR Pilot
Brief Summary:
Background: The lung is a privileged organ; blood does not reflect most lung processes well, if at all.Therefore, for population scale diagnostics, the investigator team is developing non-invasive portals to the lung, for eventual early detection/risk assessment and diagnostic purposes.However, large macromolecules are not likely suspended nor readily detected in the breath.In particular, genomic DNA in the breath condensate (EBC) is very sparse, and where present, generally highly fragmented, not readily…
