Testing how lung breathing tests respond to bronchial treatment
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how lung function test results change after bronchial thermoplasty in adults with severe asthma. It may help doctors understand who benefits from this procedure based on breathing test measures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years old
- Have a diagnosis of severe asthma
- Have lower-than-expected FEV1 on breathing tests (FEV1 is a measure of how much air you can blow out in one second)

This trial studies new technologies to help doctors diagnose asthma and better understand airway inflammation. It may help you (or healthy volunteers, if eligible) by allowing your breathing tests and inflammation markers to be measured with newer diagnostic tools.
This trial tests a new way to measure airway response during asthma testing. It uses a technique called electrical impedance tomography to create images of your lungs while you perform a bronchial challenge test. This could help doctors diagnose asthma more accurately.
This study looks at how asthma affects air flow and blood flow in your lungs. You may join if you use daily asthma control medicine and your breathing test shows room for improvement even after using a rescue inhaler.
This study looks at airway samples from people with asthma and healthy volunteers. It helps researchers understand what causes airway problems and could lead to better treatments.
This trial uses advanced imaging to study the shape of airways in adults with asthma who have active symptoms and inflammation. It aims to find out if certain airway shapes affect how well treatments work, which could lead to more personalized asthma care.
This trial uses special imaging to look at how air moves through your lungs. It may help doctors understand asthma better and could lead to better treatments.
