Breath test could uncover hidden asthma inflammation in routine doctor visits
NCT ID NCT07675044
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses a quick, non-invasive breath test (FeNO) to measure airway inflammation in adults with asthma who are treated in primary care or community specialty clinics. The goal is to see how many patients have type 2 inflammation, which often goes undetected. Researchers hope the findings will help improve referral pathways to asthma specialists.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- FeNO Breath Test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help primary care doctors better identify asthma patients with type 2 inflammation and refer them to specialists more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures inflammation but does not test a new therapy, so direct patient benefits are uncertain.
