Investigating immune responses in allergic asthma
Official title: Innate Immunity in Allergic Asthma
Run by University of Central Florida · NCT06068335 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see if certain immune responses are linked to allergic asthma by testing how cells react to different allergens in people with allergies or asthma compared to healthy individuals.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with either clinically diagnosed allergies or asthma, as well as healthy individuals without a history of allergic disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, prisoners, or currently suffering from acute infections will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the relationship between a specific immune response, known as a type 2 signature, and allergic or asthmatic conditions. Researchers will stimulate cell lines with various allergens in a laboratory setting to identify patterns in cell surface receptor expression, pathway activation, and gene upregulation. The findings will help determine if these immune responses correlate with the presence of allergic diseases or asthma in individuals. The study will include healthy controls as well as participants with diagnosed allergies or asthma.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance our understanding of allergic asthma and lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of this study is novel, similar studies investigating immune responses in asthma have shown promising results.
