Mechanisms of Acute Asthma Exacerbations Through Molecular Analysis of Airway Secretions and Tissues

NCT00603629 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 23

Last updated 2026-05-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate mechanisms which cause acute asthma exacerbations by examining blood and airway secretions during an acute onset (sputum or tracheal aspirates). This pilot study is intended to uncover new mechanisms of asthma exacerbation and to generate hypotheses for future study. By collaborating with Genentech, we (scientists at UCSF) plan to incorporate the latest scientific findings into our work to discover and develop new treatments for asthma.
