MRI study of lung function in people with asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses MRI pictures to learn how asthma affects breathing and lung function. If you have asthma and can do breathing tests, you may be asked to take part to help researchers understand asthma better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 60 years old and have a diagnosis of asthma
- Have a smoking history of 1 pack per year or less
- Be able to understand the study and sign consent
- Be in generally stable health (not having major new problems recently)
- Be able to do repeated breathing tests (spirometry) and have FEV1 above 60% predicted

This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
This Phase 1 study tests a lung scan that uses a special gas and MRI to measure how well your lungs work. It includes healthy volunteers and people with lung disease to see how well the scan works and how safe it is.
This study compares a new 3D MRI-based breathing test with the usual breathing test called spirometry. It may help doctors measure lung function more precisely in healthy people and in people with asthma, COPD, or after a double lung transplant.
This study uses brain scans to compare inflammation in the brain between people with severe asthma and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how asthma may affect the brain.
This study uses special MRI and CT scans to take very detailed pictures of the lungs in people with mild asthma. The goal is to learn more about how asthma affects the lungs, which could help develop better treatments.
This study repeatedly takes special MRI pictures of the lungs using helium-3 and xenon-129 gas to track how lung function changes over time. It may help researchers better understand lung disease in people who have COPD or bronchiectasis, or a long smoking history.
