First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether escitalopram, a common antidepressant, can reduce the number of severe asthma attacks in adults with moderate to severe asthma who have had at least three attacks in the past year. About 105 participants will receive either escitalopram or a placebo, and researchers will track asthma attacks and symptom control over time. The goal is to see if this drug can help manage asthma better, not cure it.
