Summary

This trial tests whether a 6-month personalized exercise program improves exercise capacity and asthma control in adults with severe asthma who are starting biologic therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to either the exercise program or standard advice to increase physical activity. The study measures changes in fitness, asthma symptoms, flare-ups, lung function, and quality of life over 6 to 12 months.

Active substance: personalized exercise program
What this could lead to: If effective, this could show that adding structured exercise to biologic therapy improves fitness, reduces asthma flares, and enhances quality of life for people with severe asthma.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with 60 participants. The exercise program may be too demanding for some, and results may not apply to all severe asthma patients.
