Bronchoscopy study for asthma and healthy volunteers
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- If you have asthma, you must not have used any steroid treatments (pills or inhalers) for asthma in the past 6 weeks.
- You cannot be a current smoker or a former smoker who smoked a lot or quit very recently.
- You cannot have any lung disease other than asthma (if you are in the asthma group).
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to use birth control during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
This study is looking at how mucus builds up in the airways of people with asthma, COPD, or chronic cough. Researchers will also compare findings to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these conditions and find new ways to help.
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 compares the lungs of people with airway disease to healthy volunteers to understand inflammation and lung function. You may be eligible if you have airway disease or are a healthy adult.
