Inflammation types and molecular causes of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Official title: Pathogenesis and Inflammatory Phenotype of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Run by Qianfoshan Hospital · NCT07040332 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will look for different inflammatory patterns and molecular biomarkers in people with ABPA to see if those patterns link to different clinical outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults who meet diagnostic criteria for ABPA or fungal‑sensitized asthma, are non‑smokers, and can safely undergo bronchoscopy and study procedures are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with HIV, active malignancy, blood or autoimmune disorders, prior pulmonary tuberculosis, invasive pulmonary fungal disease, current or past smoking history, or who cannot undergo bronchoscopy are unlikely to benefit from participating.

What this trial studies
This is an observational cohort study enrolling patients who meet diagnostic criteria for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or fungal‑sensitized asthma. Researchers will collect clinical data and biological samples, including procedures that may involve bronchoscopy, to profile immune and inflammatory molecular signatures. The goal is to define inflammation-based subtypes (precision typing), identify biomarkers that mark those subtypes, and correlate each phenotype with clinical outcomes. The work is conducted by Qianfoshan Hospital in collaboration with Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Fudan University, and Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could allow doctors to classify ABPA by inflammatory subtype and guide more personalized treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: Inflammatory phenotyping has produced useful results in broader asthma research, but precise inflammatory subtyping and validated biomarkers specifically for ABPA are relatively novel and less established.
