Testing airway shape in adults with asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Diagnosed with asthma by a respiratory doctor
- Had a positive methacholine challenge or bronchodilator reversibility test in the last 6 months
- Uncontrolled symptoms (ACQ score 1.5 or higher) during screening
- Elevated markers of airway inflammation (sputum eosinophils ≥3% or FeNO ≥35 ppb) during screening
- Able to safely undergo an MRI (no metal implants or severe claustrophobia)

This trial uses special imaging to look at how air moves through your lungs. It may help doctors understand asthma better and could lead to better treatments.
This trial tests whether stepping up to either a higher dose of inhaled steroid/long-acting bronchodilator or a special fine-particle triple therapy (which includes an extra medication) can improve small-airway health in people whose asthma is still not well controlled on a medium-dose combination.
This trial studies new technologies to help doctors diagnose asthma and better understand airway inflammation. It may help you (or healthy volunteers, if eligible) by allowing your breathing tests and inflammation markers to be measured with newer diagnostic tools.
This study looks at how asthma affects air flow and blood flow in your lungs. You may join if you use daily asthma control medicine and your breathing test shows room for improvement even after using a rescue inhaler.
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 aims to identify specific treatable traits in people with severe asthma and build a personalized treatment plan. It will help doctors understand which treatments might work best for you based on a detailed evaluation.
