Study on lung infection and imaging in chronic airway patients
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis based on specific tests.
- Your condition is stable (no flare-ups or hospital visits in the last 4 weeks), OR you are currently having an acute flare-up if you have COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis.
- If you have chronic airway inflammation, you may need to be using inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as part of your regular care.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and complete lung function tests and chest CT scans.

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 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 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 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.
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 study looks at the community of tiny organisms in the lungs (the lung microbiome) in people with bronchiectasis caused by NTM (non-tuberculous mycobacteria). It compares people with positive NTM cultures to people without, to better understand what’s going on in the lungs and why symptoms may differ.
