Asthma drug could help climbers breathe easier at high altitudes

NCT ID NCT06040268

Summary

This study is testing whether an asthma medication called Advair HFA can help prevent high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), a dangerous lung condition that can occur when climbing mountains. Researchers will give the drug or a placebo to 60 healthy volunteers and people prone to HAPE, then measure their breathing and exercise capacity in simulated high-altitude conditions. The goal is to see if this common medication could offer protection for people traveling to high elevations.
