LUNG-TECH trial testing new tools to diagnose asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies new technologies to help doctors diagnose asthma and better understand airway inflammation. It may help you (or healthy volunteers, if eligible) by allowing your breathing tests and inflammation markers to be measured with newer diagnostic tools.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with asthma by a specialist (or, if enrolled as a healthy volunteer, you do not have a respiratory diagnosis)
- Your asthma diagnosis must be supported by recent test evidence (spirometry, lung function changes after bronchodilator, peak flow variability, methacholine test, or inflammation marker)
- Your asthma symptoms should be poorly controlled (ACQ-6 score of 1.5 or higher)
- You are not currently on a biologic medicine for severe asthma
- You must not have a recent chest infection or a flare needing steroid and/or antibiotic treatment in the last 2 weeks (or, for healthy volunteers, in the last 6 months)
- You must be able to give consent and complete study breathing/inflammation tests

This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This trial looks at how lung function test results change after bronchial thermoplasty in adults with severe asthma. It may help doctors understand who benefits from this procedure based on breathing test measures.
This trial uses special imaging to look at how air moves through your lungs. It may help doctors understand asthma better and could lead to better treatments.
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 aims to find people with undiagnosed asthma or COPD by using a simple questionnaire and a breathing test. If you have symptoms like cough or wheeze but no prior diagnosis, you may be able to join and get early treatment.
This study looks at how asthma affects people in China and tries to find patterns that might help predict which treatments work best. If you have asthma and are between 18 and 75, you may be able to join.
