Understanding airway proteins in asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study examines a protein called TSLP that may play a role in asthma inflammation. By looking at different versions of TSLP in your airway samples, researchers hope to learn more about asthma and potentially guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with asthma.
- You do not have other lung diseases like COPD.

This study looks at two proteins, called Ezrin and Pip5k1α, in the smooth muscle of the airways of people with asthma. By comparing samples from people with and without asthma, researchers hope to understand how these proteins may be involved in asthma.
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 the immune system works and how well diseases like asthma, COPD, and others are controlled. You may join if you have one of these conditions or if you are a healthy volunteer or smoker without lung disease.
This study looks at how eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) work in asthma, including in people who have not responded to certain biologic treatments. By joining, you may help researchers understand asthma better and potentially improve future treatments.
This study looks at how your genes affect your asthma medications. It tests if knowing your DNA can help predict which treatment works best for you and why.
This study looks at how genes are linked to different types and severities of asthma. It aims to understand why asthma affects people differently, which could lead to better treatments.
