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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are either a patient with known or suspected airway disease, or a healthy volunteer with no major health issues.
- You do not have active tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.

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 the bacteria in the lungs, infection patterns, and CT scan findings in people with COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis. It aims to understand these conditions better and may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how the body's immune cells respond to damaged proteins in people with lung diseases. Researchers will take a small blood sample to study these immune responses, which 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.
