Radon and asthma control trial for children
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether reducing radon in your home can improve asthma symptoms. If you or your child has had asthma for at least a year and it's not well-controlled, this study may help find new ways to manage it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child has been diagnosed with asthma by a doctor for at least 1 year
- Asthma has been hard to control in the last year (like needing rescue medicine, going to the ER, or having a flare-up that required steroid pills)
- You live in the same home at least 5 days a week and do not plan to move in the next year
- Your home does not already have a radon reduction system or a HEPA air purifier (or you can turn off the purifier for 28 days before the study starts)
- No other serious lung diseases, heart problems (except high blood pressure), or conditions that require daily medications like beta-blockers

This study tests a way to help control asthma in children aged 2 to 18. It is designed for kids who have had asthma for at least 3 months and had symptoms or treatment in the past year.
This study aims to improve how we diagnose and treat asthma in children. It tests whether a personalized approach can help children whose asthma is not well controlled with current inhaler treatments.
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 whether reducing air pollution in your home can help control asthma symptoms in children. It involves using air filters or other methods to clean the air and tracking how the child's asthma responds over time.
This study tests ways to encourage mothers to test their homes for radon, a colorless gas that can build up indoors and pose health risks. Researchers want to learn how to help families protect their young children's health.
This study looks at whether reducing cockroaches in a child’s home can improve asthma control and reduce asthma flare-ups. It enrolls children who have ongoing (uncontrolled) asthma and will spend most nights in the study home.
