Body clock may predict asthma attacks
NCT ID NCT06302959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether proteins that control our body's daily rhythms (clock proteins) can predict how severe asthma will get. Researchers monitored these proteins in the blood and sputum of 50 adults with severe eosinophilic asthma before and during treatment with mepolizumab. The goal was to see if clock proteins could serve as a marker for disease progression or treatment success.
