NCT ID NCT04617015
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 39 children with asthma to see if those with depression have a different type of airway response. Researchers tested whether an anticholinergic inhaler (ipratropium) works better in depressed versus non-depressed children. The goal was to better understand this possible asthma subtype, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Ipratropium Bromide (an anticholinergic inhaler)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a personalized treatment approach for children with asthma and depression, using a different type of inhaler.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 39 participants. It is designed to gather information, not to prove a treatment works. Results may not apply to all children with asthma and depression.
