Asthma study linking lung bacteria to asthma types
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the tiny germs in your airways (airway microbiota) to better understand different asthma “types” and what might drive symptoms. It may help researchers find more personalized approaches to asthma care by learning how lung bacteria relate to your asthma features.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 80 years old and have a doctor diagnosis of asthma.
- Your asthma history includes documented breathing tests showing reversible airflow blockage or an airway test showing over‑reactivity.
- You do not have other lung diseases such as COPD, bronchiectasis, lung TB damage, past lung surgery, or lung cancer.
- If you’re over 40, you have not had a smoking history over 10 pack-years and you don’t have heavy exposure to burning biomass (like wood/coal smoke).
- You are not currently in another clinical study, and you are not pregnant (if able to become pregnant).
- You have not smoked in the last year, and you have not taken antibiotics (including nasal antibiotics) in the past 4 weeks.
- You have had no signs or symptoms of a lung or upper respiratory infection in the past 4 weeks (like a cold, cough with infection, or fever).

This study looks at how genes are linked to different types and severities of asthma. It aims to understand why asthma affects people differently, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how well guideline-based asthma treatment works for adults with more severe asthma (GINA steps 4 and 5). It may help improve real-world care for people whose asthma needs stronger medications to stay controlled.
This trial looks at how certain proteins (Transgelin-2, Metallothionein-2, and Ezrin) are associated with asthma. It may help researchers better understand asthma biology and potentially guide future treatments.
This study follows adults with asthma in real life to better understand asthma care and outcomes. You may be invited if you already joined another asthma-related or health-related observational study and don’t have certain major lung or health conditions.
This study looks at the bacteria (microbiome) in the airways of infants under 2 years old with severe asthma. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect the disease.
This study aims to identify specific treatable traits in people with severe asthma and build a personalized treatment plan. It will help doctors understand which treatments might work best for you based on a detailed evaluation.
