Brain cell activity in mild asthma and allergies
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at brain inflammation in people with mild asthma who are also allergic to common triggers like cats, dust mites, or ragweed. It uses MRI scans to see if a certain brain cell activity is different, which may help us understand asthma better and lead to new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have a doctor's diagnosis of asthma for at least 6 months.
- Your asthma must be mild and well controlled with low-intensity treatment (like an inhaler as needed).
- You must have a positive allergy test to cats, dust mites, or ragweed, and your asthma symptoms must be triggered by that allergen.
- You must be willing to undergo an MRI brain scan and not have claustrophobia.
- You must not be a smoker or have a significant smoking history.

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 Phase 1 study looks at how the immune system drives allergic airway inflammation in people with allergic asthma, and compares them with allergic non-asthma and non-allergic healthy volunteers. The goal is to identify immune “signals” and cell “receptors” involved, which may guide better future treatments.
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 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.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people with allergies or asthma compared to healthy people. It may help find new ways to treat these conditions.
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.
