Inhaler propellant showdown: does new formula clean lungs better?
NCT ID NCT05755932
First seen Feb 27, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested whether a new inhaler propellant (HFO) affects the lungs' natural cleaning process differently than the current standard (HFA). Thirty-five healthy, non-smoking adults inhaled a harmless radioactive tracer and had their lung clearance measured with a special camera. The goal was purely to understand the propellant's effect, not to treat any disease.
