Real-Time Breath Analysis in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia for a Rapid Characterisation of Biological Subtypes and to Predict Therapy Responses

Exhalomics for Phenotyping and Real-Time Stratification in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (EXHALE)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) respond to treatment to differing degrees, owing to the biological diversity of the disease. The diagnostic tests currently available for identifying genetic alterations and selecting the best possible treatment usually take several days before a result is obtained. In our study, the investigators aim to determine whether breath analysis can detect metabolic products of the leukaemia that allow the disease to be classified rapidly. Participants will undergo additional blood tests and a breath analysis during their routine appointments. This will take place only during the 1st and 2nd treatment cycles. They will also be asked to complete a questionnaire about their state of health. In addition, the study team will collect further information on their state of health (type of leukaemia, type of treatment, other medications, vital signs) from their medical records. In total, participants will complete 4 such measurements before and during their treatment. The measurements will be coordinated with their outpatient appointments. No assessments will be carried out unless the participants are at the hospital in any case, and they will not have to attend the hospital more often because of their participation in this study.
