Diabetes drug trial offers new hope for stubborn asthma

NCT ID NCT06273072

Summary

This study is testing whether metformin, a common diabetes medication, can help control asthma in overweight or obese adults whose asthma isn't well-managed with standard inhalers. 100 participants will take either metformin or a placebo pill daily for six months while researchers monitor their asthma symptoms and lung function. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and safe enough to justify a larger future trial.
