New biologic combo aims to tame rare lung fungal allergy
NCT ID NCT07362693
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a biologic drug to standard treatment can reduce flare-ups in people with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and severe asthma. About 50 adults will receive a biologic for at least 4 months while continuing their usual asthma medications. Researchers will track how many acute attacks occur, hospitalizations, and steroid use to see if the biologic helps control the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Biologic agents (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) added to standard asthma and ABPA therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding a biologic drug helps control ABPA and reduces severe asthma attacks, pointing toward a better management strategy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Biologics can have side effects like allergic reactions or increased infection risk.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Meet the diagnostic criteria of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, according to the ISHAM guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (2024 revision). 2. The underlying disease was bronchial asthma, and it was severe bronchial asthma. 3. Have had an acute asthma attack in the past year. Acute exacerbation of asthma is defined as the sudden onset of wheezing, shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness and other symptoms beyond the definition of uncontrolled asthma, or the aggravation of the original symptoms, and is characterized by decreased expiratory flow, often induced by exposure to allergens, irritants or respiratory tract infection. 4. Blood eosinophil count ≥150 cells /μL. 5. Age ≥ 18 years old. Exclusion Criteria: 1. The underlying diseases were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis; 2. Known allergic history to biological agents; 3. Human immunodeficiency virus infection, active pulmonary tuberculosis or pulmonary malignant tumor; 4. Complicated with other diseases requiring long-term systemic use of glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants (such as autoimmune diseases); 5. Pregnant or lactating women; 6. Currently participating in other interventional clinical research; 7. Any other conditions considered by the investigator to preclude participation in the study (e.g., nonadherence, predicted survival \<1 year, or severe mental illness that prevented cooperation).
