Better diagnosis and treatment for childhood asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study aims to improve how we diagnose and treat asthma in children. It tests whether a personalized approach can help children whose asthma is not well controlled with current inhaler treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 5 and 16 years old.
- You must have a doctor's diagnosis of asthma and use a daily controller inhaler (like an ICS or combination inhaler).
- Your asthma should be partly controlled or not well controlled at the moment.
- If you are 10 or older, you need to agree to take part, and your parent or guardian must sign a consent form.
- You cannot have had a severe asthma attack in the last 2 weeks or a current lung infection.
- You cannot have another chronic lung disease (like COPD or cystic fibrosis) or very severe asthma.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows children with wheezing (in younger kids) or doctor-diagnosed asthma (in older kids). It aims to better understand asthma and related breathing problems and how they develop over time.
This trial tests if a smart spacer can help people with severe asthma use their inhaler correctly and stick to their medication schedule. It’s for adults already taking biologic drugs for asthma.
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 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.
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 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.
