Lung inflammation study in healthy and diseased lungs
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.

This study looks at patients admitted to the hospital with acute breathing issues or those with ongoing lung conditions. It aims to better understand these conditions and may help improve future care.
This study collects information from people with various inflammatory lung conditions, like asthma or COPD, to better understand them and improve treatment. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and classify lung conditions that affect both the air sacs and airways, such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. By participating, you may help advance medical knowledge and better understand your own condition.
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early 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 follows people with chronic airway diseases like COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis who were recently hospitalized for a worsening of their condition. It aims to understand how these diseases affect overall health and other medical problems over time.
