Study obesity and metabolism in adults with asthma
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old and be able to give written consent
- Have smoked fewer than 10 pack-years total and not have smoked in the past year
- Have a doctor-confirmed asthma diagnosis for more than 6 months (if you’re in the asthma groups)
- Have the needed “metabolic” or “non-metabolic” or “obese/non-obese” body measurements (like BMI and specific blood/waist/blood pressure results)
- Not be pregnant, and avoid cannabis/nicotine results that test positive (cotinine/THC)
- Have no major uncontrolled health problems, no current statin use, and no diabetes medicines

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 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 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 follows people with moderate-to-severe asthma and repeatedly checks how their lungs and symptoms relate to environmental exposures over time. It may help researchers better understand what triggers asthma and how exposures affect asthma control.
This study tests a program that combines exercise and other support to help people with difficult-to-control asthma feel better and be more active. It aims to improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This study looks at how obesity affects breathing and physical function. It tests whether a special exercise program can improve lung and muscle strength in people with obesity who have a restrictive breathing pattern.
