Could a simple exercise programme boost asthma remission?
NCT ID NCT07735494
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether adding a 12-week physical activity promotion programme to standard tezepelumab treatment helps more adults with severe asthma achieve clinical remission. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus the programme, which includes coaching, goal setting, and a smartphone app. The study will compare remission rates and other outcomes after 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a 12-week structured physical activity promotion programme
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to improve remission rates and quality of life for people with severe asthma by combining exercise support with biologic therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The physical activity programme may not be enough to boost remission, and participants may find it hard to stick with the programme.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18-70 years. * Physician-diagnosed severe asthma. * Eligible for tezepelumab according to NICE TA880. * History of ≥3 asthma exacerbations requiring oral corticosteroids in the previous 12 months or receiving maintenance oral corticosteroid therapy. * Objective confirmation of asthma, including bronchodilator reversibility, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and/or variable airflow obstruction, as part of routine clinical assessment. * Decision to commence tezepelumab made by the treating multidisciplinary severe asthma team prior to study enrolment. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Non-asthma respiratory disease that may confound study outcomes (e.g. obstructive sleep apnoea). * Pregnancy. * Significant non-asthma medical conditions likely to impair physical activity or functional exercise capacity (e.g. acute musculoskeletal injury). * Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation unsafe or compromise study completion.
