Estrogen and its effect on lung tissue in obstructive lung disease
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the hormone estrogen affects the lungs of people with asthma or COPD. It will help researchers understand why these diseases may be different in women.

This study looks at how starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or hormonal contraception (HC) affects your airways' sensitivity to a substance called methacholine, which can cause airway narrowing. It aims to understand if these hormones change how your lungs react, which is important for women with or without asthma.
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 explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
This trial is studying people with chronic lung conditions, like COPD or asthma, to find treatable traits. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison, to better understand what makes these diseases different and how to personalize treatment.
This study looks at chronic airway diseases like asthma and COPD. Researchers want to learn more about how these conditions affect people and may explore treatments. You might join if you have asthma or COPD and no other major health issues.
This study looks at how brief drops in oxygen levels during sleep affect lung function, health, and survival in people with moderate COPD. Participants will do exercise tests and have their oxygen levels monitored to better understand the disease.
