Bacteria and imaging in chronic airway inflammation
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria in your airways, how infections affect you, and chest imaging (like CT scans) in people with chronic airway inflammation (COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis). It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You need a diagnosis of COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis (confirmed by a doctor).
- Your breathing should be stable for at least 4 weeks before joining, unless you are joining the acute flare study.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have other serious lung or health conditions that might interfere.

This study looks at how bacteria live in the lungs of people with bronchiectasis and how they may adapt over time. It may help researchers understand why infections keep coming back and how to better manage chronic lung colonization.
This study looks at how the immune system works and how well diseases like asthma, COPD, and others are controlled. You may join if you have one of these conditions or if you are a healthy volunteer or smoker without lung disease.
This study follows people with chronic airway diseases like COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis who were recently hospitalized for a worsening of their condition. It aims to understand how these diseases affect overall health and other medical problems over time.
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.
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.
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.
