Natural killer cells in severe asthma patients
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at immune cells called natural killer cells in people with severe asthma. Researchers want to see how these cells are different in people whose asthma is well-controlled, not well-controlled, or flaring up, compared to healthy volunteers without asthma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- A lung specialist has confirmed your severe asthma (either well-controlled, not well-controlled, or currently having a flare-up).
- You do not have other chronic inflammatory diseases besides asthma (for people with asthma).
- You have not used NSAID painkillers or opioids in the last 10 days.
- You are not pregnant, and you are not a current or former heavy smoker (more than 15 pack-years).

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 how eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) work in asthma, including in people who have not responded to certain biologic treatments. By joining, you may help researchers understand asthma better and potentially improve future treatments.
This study looks at how well different biologic treatments work for people with severe or mild-to-moderate asthma, and compares them to healthy volunteers. It aims to find which treatments work best for different asthma types.
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.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to measure airway inflammation after breathing in an allergen (like pollen or dust mite). It is for people with mild asthma that is well controlled with only a rescue inhaler.
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.
