Bronchial thermoplasty for severe asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called bronchial thermoplasty for adults with severe asthma that is not controlled with standard treatments. It aims to see if this can help reduce asthma attacks in people who have already tried or cannot use biologic therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe asthma that is not well-controlled despite using high-dose treatments.
- You have tried a biologic drug for asthma or are not able to use one.
- You have had at least 2 severe asthma flare-ups in the past year that required steroid pills or a doubled steroid dose.
- Your lung function (FEV1) is at least 50% of normal after using a rescue inhaler.

This study tests if a personalized exercise program can help adults with severe asthma who are starting a new biologic treatment. It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests an add-on medicine called GB-0895 for people with severe asthma that is not well controlled with current treatments. It aims to see if adding this drug can reduce asthma attacks and improve breathing.
This trial looks at how lung function test results change after bronchial thermoplasty in adults with severe asthma. It may help doctors understand who benefits from this procedure based on breathing test measures.
This trial studies a bronchoscopy procedure that uses heat (thermoablation) to reduce over-inflated lung tissue in people with severe emphysema. If you qualify, it aims to improve breathing and walking ability after trying standard treatments first.
This study tests a new bronchoscopic treatment called BTVA for people with severe emphysema. It uses heat to shrink damaged parts of the lung to improve breathing.
