Mucus Plugs and Lung MRI in Severe Asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is looking at how mucus plugs in the airways affect lung function in people with severe asthma. If you are about to start a new injectable asthma treatment (dupilumab, tezepelumab, or benralizumab), you may be able to join and get a special type of lung MRI to see how your lungs are doing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with asthma for more than 1 year.
- You are about to start a new asthma medication called dupilumab, tezepelumab, or benralizumab as part of your regular care.
- Your blood eosinophil count is 300 or higher (a blood test shows this).
- You have not smoked or used vapes, cigars, or marijuana in the last 3 months, and you have smoked less than 10 pack-years total.
- You have not had a cold or lung infection in the past 4 weeks, and you do not have other serious health problems (like heart disease or cancer).

This study looks at how mucus plugs affect air flow in the lungs. It may help find new ways to treat people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, COPD, or bronchiectasis.
This Phase 2 study uses a special type of MRI with inhaled gas to measure how well your lungs work. It may help researchers better understand lung function in healthy people and in people with lung disease.
This trial uses an advanced MRI technique with a special gas (hyperpolarized xenon-129) to look at lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors better understand how the disease affects your lungs and could lead to improved care.
This study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
This study uses special MRI and CT scans to take very detailed pictures of the lungs in people with mild asthma. The goal is to learn more about how asthma affects the lungs, which could help develop better treatments.
This study uses MRI pictures to learn how asthma affects breathing and lung function. If you have asthma and can do breathing tests, you may be asked to take part to help researchers understand asthma better.
