This trial tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can help people with asthma who are also overweight or obese. The goal is to see if it improves asthma control and reduces the need for rescue medications.
This trial studies how stepping up asthma treatment affects asthma control in people with mild to moderate asthma. You may be asked to use study inhalers correctly and track symptoms and lung tests to see if control improves.
This study looks at how vitamin D levels relate to asthma control, lung function, and oxidative stress in adults with asthma. It may help understand if checking vitamin D could improve asthma management.
This study tests whether taking ginger can help people whose asthma is not well controlled with their current inhalers. If you join, you will take ginger supplements and monitor your asthma symptoms and breathing tests.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding L-citrulline can improve asthma control in overweight adults whose asthma started later in life. It compares your asthma symptoms and lung testing results to see if the supplement helps when asthma is already being treated.
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.
