The Effects of Positive Airway Pressure on the Mucolytic Effects of NAC (TEAM)
Testing whether positive airway pressure helps a lung medicine (NAC) reach mucus plugs in asthma or
📍 UCSF Airway Clinical Research Center · San Francisco, CA · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if positive pressure during inspiration will improve penetration of aerosolized N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) into airway mucus plugs in the lungs of patients with asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does delivery of aerosolized NAC with positive inspiratory pressure have a greater effect on mucus plug burden in the lungs than delivery of NAC without positive pressure.

Mechanism(s) of Airflow Limitation During Exacerbation of Asthma
Studying what causes breathing out to get harder during asthma flare-ups
📍 Arthur F Gelb Medical Corporation · Lakewood, CA · Get directions →
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the site and mechanisms responsible for expiratory airflow limitation in chronic, treated, non-smoking, stable asthmatics with moderate to severe persistent expiratory airflow obstruction. Treatment will include inhaled corticosteroids and long acting beta2agonists.
- Asthma
Timely Administration of IV Magnesium Sulfate in Patients With a Moderate Asthma Exacerbation
Testing early IV magnesium sulfate for people with a moderate asthma flare
📍 Oklahoma Children's Hospital · Oklahoma City, OK · Get directions →
This study aims to identify whether early administration of magnesium sulfate in moderate asthma exacerbations can potentially avoid admission, decrease length of stay in the emergency department (ED), decrease length of stay (LOS) in the general hospital floor vs pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and decrease the need for respiratory support.
- Asthma
45th Multicenter Airway Research Collaboration
Testing an emergency department treatment to prevent asthma attacks from coming back
📍 MetroHealth · Cleveland, OH · Get directions →
The study is a randomized controlled trial on the effect of emergency department initiation of Airsupra on acute asthma "recurrence" at 3 months and other related outcomes (acute asthma relapse, asthma control).

Fibrosis Lessens After Metabolic Surgery
Testing whether metabolic surgery can reduce liver scarring in obesity
📍 Banner Health Center · Phoenix, AZ · +3 more US sites · Get directions →
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma.

Leveraging Pharmacogenomics in Asthma for Predication, Mechanism and Endotyping
Testing a new way to match asthma patients to biologic treatments using genetic and lab measures
📍 Mayo Clinic · Scottsdale, AZ · +2 more US sites · Get directions →
In this study, a new method will be used to evaluate response to 2 approved biologic therapies, and assess how well each patient responds to each asthma treatment. This study will measure the response to these treatments using genomic and biologic measurements obtained from participants biosamples.

CHEST: A Collaboration With Community HEalth Centers to Implement SmarT for Asthma
Helping community health clinic clinicians prescribe recommended asthma care
📍 Affinia healthcare, 2220 Lemp Ave · St Louis, MO · +6 more US sites · Get directions →
Purpose: This study aims to improve asthma care by helping clinicians at community health centers prescribe a guideline-recommended treatment called SMART (Single Maintenance and Reliever Therapy). The investigators will provide training and resources to clinicians, give feedback on prescribing patterns, and offer educational tools for patients and providers.
- Asthma
Ventilation and Perfusion in Asthmatics
Testing how inhaled asthma medicines change breathing and blood flow in adults
📍 University of Miami - Converge Miami · Miami, FL · Get directions →
Assess regional changes to perfusion and ventilation from inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and Fast-acting beta-antagonist (FABA) among adult asthmatics using radiographically derived estimates of regional ventilation (V-distribution), ventilation defect percentage (VDP), and ventilation heterogeneity (VH).
- Asthma
Sensory-Mechanical Responses to Eucapneic Voluntary Hyperventilation and Mannitol
Testing how breathing tests and mannitol affect cough-related airway reactions in people with asthma
📍 Kingston Health Sciences Centre · Kingston, Ontario · Get directions →
The objectives of this study are to determine the sensory-mechanical responses to Eucapneic Voluntary Hyperventilation (EVH) and Mannitol in individuals with cough variant asthma (CVA) and methacholine-induced cough with normal airway sensitivity (COUGH) and compare these responses to a control group of healthy individuals without asthma or chronic cough. We hypothesize: 1.

Viral Infection in Asthma (VIA) Study
Testing whether dupilumab can prevent asthma symptom worsening after a cold virus exposure
📍 University of Virginia · Charlottesville, VA · Get directions →
Often when people with asthma get a virus caused by the common cold (rhinovirus), they also experience an increase or worsening of their asthma symptoms. The purpose of this study is to see if the study medication dupilumab helps prevent those with mild to moderate asthma from having increased asthma symptoms, after being exposed to an experimental rhinovirus inoculation.
- Asthma
Measuring the Effect of Dupilumab Treatment on Mucociliary Clearance (MCC) in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Asthma
Testing how dupilumab or placebo changes mucus-clearing in people with moderate to severe asthma
📍 The University of Pittsburgh Asthma Institute at UPMC · Pittsburgh, PA · Get directions →
Single center, randomized, placebo- controlled study to assess change in mucociliary clearance of moderate to severe asthma patients after treatment with dupilumab or placebo.
- Type 2 diabetesFatty liver disease (NASH/MASH)
Quantifying Hepatic Mitochondrial Fluxes in Humans
Measuring liver energy activity in people with type 2 diabetes before and after 16 weeks of insulin
📍 Texas Diabetes Institute - University Health System · San Antonio, TX · +1 more US site · Get directions →
In this study the investigators will quantitate hepatic mitochondrial fluxes in T2D patients with NAFL and NASH before and after 16-weeks treatment with the insulin sensitizer pioglitazone
- Asthma
Therapeutic Relevance of Abnormal Airway Morphology in Asthma
Studying how abnormal airway shape in asthma relates to symptoms and attacks
📍 St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton · Hamilton, Ontario · Get directions →
Most individuals with asthma can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain normal lung function using inhaled medications, unfortunately, there is a subset of asthma sufferers whose symptoms, lung function, and risk of asthma attacks remain unimproved despite conventional inhaled medications. There could be several reasons for this.

Individualizing Treatment for Asthma in Primary Care (Full Study)
Testing how to personalize asthma treatment in primary care
📍 DARTNet Institute · Aurora, CO · +12 more US sites · Get directions →
While asthma therapy is becoming more individualized based on asthma phenotypes, more research is needed to tailor newer therapies to individuals. Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medications are the foundation of care for all individuals with persistent asthma.
