Using blood tests to understand asthma in kids
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special blood test (metabolomics) to better understand asthma in children and help guide treatment. It may help find out more about your child's asthma and how to manage it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 12 and 17 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed asthma diagnosis from a doctor.
- You and your child must agree to take part in the study by signing a consent form.
- Your child should not have other serious health conditions like diabetes or thyroid problems.

This study is testing a new way to diagnose asthma in children and teens using simple breathing tests. If your regular breathing test wasn't clear, this might give a more accurate answer.
This trial uses a simple inflammation test (inflammometry) to help diagnose asthma more accurately in people aged 6 and older who have been sent by their primary care doctor for standard breathing tests. It aims to improve the diagnosis process and reduce delays.
This study tests a way to help control asthma in children aged 2 to 18. It is designed for kids who have had asthma for at least 3 months and had symptoms or treatment in the past year.
This study uses tongue and pulse information to better understand asthma in children. It may help doctors personalize treatment and improve care.
This trial looks at how certain proteins (Transgelin-2, Metallothionein-2, and Ezrin) are associated with asthma. It may help researchers better understand asthma biology and potentially guide future treatments.
This study looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
