Nasal spray shows promise for tough asthma in early trial

NCT ID NCT05985694

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested an experimental nasal spray called AD17002 in 40 adults with poorly controlled moderate-to-severe eosinophilic asthma. Participants self-administered the spray twice a week for six weeks. The goal was to see if it could improve lung function and reduce the need for rescue inhalers, while also checking safety and ease of use.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AD17002 (a nasal spray immunomodulator)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new way to control moderate-to-severe eosinophilic asthma without relying solely on standard inhalers.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply widely. The treatment may not improve lung function or symptoms, and side effects from the nasal spray are possible.
