First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a nasal spray called RIG-101 in healthy people and those with asthma. First, it checks safety and tolerability. Then, asthma participants receive the spray daily and are exposed to a cold virus to see if it prevents asthma worsening. The trial is recruiting 82 adults aged 18-65.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment to prevent asthma flare-ups triggered by common cold viruses.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early combined Phase 1-2 trial with only 82 participants, so safety and efficacy are not yet proven. The viral challenge part is artificial and may not reflect real-world conditions.
