Testing how the body responds to endotoxin
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.

This study tests how the inside of your nose reacts to a substance called endotoxin (a germ-like particle that triggers inflammation). It may help us understand asthma better and could lead to better treatments.
This Phase 2 study tests anti-inflammatory lipid mediators in people with asthma. You may be eligible if your asthma is not well controlled despite regular inhaler use and you meet the specific lung function and health criteria.
This study measures how immune cells respond when exposed to test “stimuli.” It needs healthy, nonpregnant adults and screens for certain infections and recent illnesses or medicines to help ensure the results aren’t affected by outside factors.
This study observes how your body responds to environmental exposures or injuries over time. It aims to understand how different factors like genetics or lifestyle affect your health.
This study tests how your lungs’ immune cells respond after a controlled exposure to endotoxin. It may help researchers understand and prevent harmful lung inflammation, even though it is a short, research-focused intervention.
This study looks at how common allergens and everyday toxins from things like cleaning products affect your skin, gut, and airways. It may help find ways to prevent or manage allergies and related health issues.
