Study of Inflammatory and Physiological Profiles of Healthy and Diseased Lung


Sponsor

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust

Enrollment

230 participants

Start Date

Feb 8, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

There are over 700,000 UK hospital admissions every year with lung disease symptoms. Two of the most common lung diseases contributing to these numbers are asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The immunopathology of these diseases is not fully understood. Matched samples from the respiratory tract and circulation will be used to identify immune patterns throughout the respiratory system to elucidate the immunopathology of airway disease.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects lung tissue and fluid samples (via a camera procedure into the lungs called a bronchoscopy) to study the biology of healthy lungs and diseased lungs in people with airway conditions, hoping to better understand lung inflammation. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You either have a known or suspected airway disease, OR you are a healthy volunteer with no significant medical conditions - You are able to give informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have known or suspected active tuberculosis, HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C - You have had surgery in the last 6 weeks - You are pregnant - You have a history of psychiatric, medical, or surgical conditions that might interfere with the sample collection or recovery from bronchoscopy - You have a history of alcohol or drug abuse - You have an immune deficiency requiring treatment - You cannot read or write English Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
