Proteins in airway smooth muscle of asthma patients
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at two proteins, called Ezrin and Pip5k1α, in the smooth muscle of the airways of people with asthma. By comparing samples from people with and without asthma, researchers hope to understand how these proteins may be involved in asthma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung tissue sample already stored from a past surgery or biopsy.
- The tissue came from a person between 18 and 70 years old.
- The tissue includes the smooth muscle layer of the airways.
- You are either a person with asthma OR a person without asthma (for comparison).
- You do not have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how certain proteins (Transgelin-2, Metallothionein-2, and Ezrin) are associated with asthma. It may help researchers better understand asthma biology and potentially guide future 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 looks at how genes are linked to different types and severities of asthma. It aims to understand why asthma affects people differently, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at the tiny germs in your airways (airway microbiota) to better understand different asthma “types” and what might drive symptoms. It may help researchers find more personalized approaches to asthma care by learning how lung bacteria relate to your asthma features.
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 trial uses advanced imaging to study the shape of airways in adults with asthma who have active symptoms and inflammation. It aims to find out if certain airway shapes affect how well treatments work, which could lead to more personalized asthma care.
