Mold in your home could worsen asthma – new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07313904
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how fungi in the environment (like mold in homes) affect people with asthma, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), and bronchiectasis. Researchers will collect dust and sputum samples from 125 adults aged 18–80 and follow them for 6 months. The goal is to understand which fungi are present and how they relate to disease severity, but no new treatment is being tested.
