Bronchitis

This early-stage study tests a new imaging agent called 18F-4FN for PET scans to safely detect inflammation in the body. It involves 55 adults with cancer who are on immunotherapy or have suspected inflammation. The goal is to see if this agent can highlight areas of inflammation…

This study is testing whether taking high-dose fish oil supplements during pregnancy can prevent asthma and persistent wheezing in early childhood. The trial will enroll 2000 pregnant Danish women with low blood levels of omega-3s. Participants take fish oil or placebo capsules d…

This study is testing whether taking a higher dose of vitamin D during pregnancy can prevent asthma and persistent wheezing in children up to age 3. Researchers will give 2000 pregnant women either vitamin D or a placebo daily from week 22-26 of pregnancy until one week after del…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether the drug Raphamin can help adults with acute bronchitis recover faster. About 308 participants will take either Raphamin or a placebo for 5 days. Researchers will track symptoms like cough and chest pain to see if Raphamin reduces illness duration…

This study looks at whether people with COPD and chronic bronchitis who switch from regular cigarettes to a tobacco heating system feel better and breathe easier. About 290 adults aged 40 and older who have smoked for at least 10 years will take part. Researchers will measure cou…

This study tests two simple ways to reduce fear in children aged 3-6 who need breathing treatments (nebulization) for conditions like asthma. One group uses a toy-shaped nebulizer, another uses colorful distraction cards with games, and a third group gets standard care. Researche…

This study compares two COPD self-management education programs: a self-guided booklet and a counselor-led phone program. Researchers want to see which approach better reduces hospitalizations and improves quality of life. 448 adults with COPD who have been hospitalized in the pa…

This study tests whether a syrup called Atock Dry Syrup can reduce wheezing in children aged 6 months to 12 years with acute bronchitis. About 296 kids will receive either the syrup or a standard patch treatment. The main goal is to see if wheezing improves within 3 days.

This study tests a device that delivers gentle electric pulses to the airways to reduce chronic bronchitis symptoms in adults with COPD. About 210 participants will either receive the real treatment or a sham procedure. The goal is to see if the treatment improves breathing and q…

This study aims to see if analyzing the chemicals in a child's breath can help diagnose and monitor diseases like asthma, neurological disorders, and type 1 diabetes. Researchers will collect breath samples from up to 3,600 children and teens to find patterns linked to these cond…

This pilot study is measuring prednisolone levels in 120 people with inflammatory diseases like thyroid eye disease, vasculitis, COPD, asthma, and others. Participants take high-dose prednisolone as part of their routine care, and researchers take timed blood samples to see how t…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…

This study uses cardiac MRI and other tests to examine heart and lung function in 510 COVID-19 survivors who had symptoms like shortness of breath or cough. The goal is to find out why some people have lasting cardiopulmonary problems after COVID-19. Participants will undergo ima…

This study tests whether a two-part approach—improving communication about viral infections and having pharmacists double-check prescription lengths—can reduce how many days antibiotics are prescribed for respiratory infections like bronchitis, sinusitis, and sore throat. About 4…

This study aims to find the genes that make some people develop severe COPD at a young age, even if they smoke. Researchers will collect DNA and health information from 2,000 participants with early-onset COPD. The goal is to understand why some people are more prone to this lung…

This study is creating a registry of people with emphysema to collect DNA, lung function tests, and medical information. Researchers hope to use this data to better understand the disease and develop new therapies. The registry will also help identify volunteers for future resear…
