Effect of anti-IL-17 on airway responsiveness in asthma patients

Official title: The Effect of Anti-IL17 on Airway Hyperresponsiveness and Resistance: a Longitudinal Cohort Study

Run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre · NCT06224634 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a new treatment for certain skin and joint conditions can also help adults with severe asthma breathe better by reducing their airway sensitivity.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with dermatological or rheumatological conditions who are about to begin treatment with anti-IL-17 antibodies.

Probably not a fit

Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction or stroke, or those who are pregnant will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational longitudinal cohort study evaluates how monoclonal antibodies targeting interleukin 17 (anti-IL-17) influence airway hyperreactivity and resistance in adults with dermatological or rheumatological conditions. Participants planning to start anti-IL-17 treatment will undergo assessments of airway responsiveness using methacholine challenges and spirometry to measure changes in lung function. The study aims to determine if anti-IL-17 can effectively reduce airway hyperreactivity, particularly in patients with severe non-Type 2 asthma. This research is significant as it explores a novel treatment avenue for asthma patients who have not responded well to conventional therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for asthma patients, particularly those with severe non-Type 2 asthma, improving their respiratory function and quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: While previous studies have explored IL-17's role in asthma, none have specifically investigated the impact of anti-IL-17 treatment on airway hyperresponsiveness, making this approach novel.
