Finding untreated asthma or COPD early
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to have current respiratory symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath.
- You must score at least 6% on the UCAP-Q questionnaire, which estimates your chance of having asthma or COPD.
- You must be able to do a breathing test called spirometry (before and after using a rescue inhaler).
- You cannot have a known diagnosis of asthma, COPD, or other serious lung disease, and you cannot be currently using certain inhalers.

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 tests how well different breathing tests measure relief from shortness of breath in people with asthma or COPD. It may help doctors find better ways to check how well treatments are working.
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.
This study looks at lung function in people with early COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) to understand what happens over time. If you meet the lung test and health requirements, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better track and manage early COPD.
This trial looks at how long-term health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure might affect breathing problems. The goal is to better understand and help people with both issues.
This registry collects information from people with COPD (and sometimes overlapping asthma-COPD features) to better understand breathing problems and airways behavior. It may help researchers learn which patterns match different symptom types, without necessarily using a new drug.
