Study how diesel fumes affect asthma medicine response
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how diesel exhaust exposure can change how well asthma “steroid” medicine works in your body. It may help researchers understand why some asthma symptoms are harder to control and guide better treatment strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 49 years old
- A doctor has diagnosed you with asthma, confirmed by breathing tests (spirometry) and an asthma-trigger test (methacholine)
- Your methacholine test shows asthma that meets the study threshold (PC20 less than 16 mg/mL)
- You do not smoke or use vaping or other vaporizing devices
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether inhaled corticosteroids (steroid inhalers) help people with mild-to-moderate COPD breathe better in areas with higher air pollution. You may join if you have mild-to-moderate COPD, are between 40 and 80, and haven't smoked for at least six months.
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 if a treatment plan called GDMT can help people whose asthma is not well controlled even with high-dose inhaled steroids and long-acting bronchodilators. It is for adults who have had at least one asthma flare-up in the past year.
This study looks at whether exposure to air pollution inside and outside your home affects asthma symptoms and flare-ups. You may be asked to use sensors at home to measure pollution levels and link them to your asthma over time.
This study exposes healthy adults to diesel fumes to see how it affects inflammation (the body’s response to irritation) and blood vessels over time. It may help researchers understand health risks from diesel air pollution, though it is not for people with existing chronic health conditions.
