简要总结

The purpose of this research study is to collect lung tissue and fluid from two groups of people: those who have severe asthma, and those who do not. These samples will then be tested in a laboratory to identify differences in the lung tissue cells and fluids that may exist between these two groups of people.

入选标准

  • Asthma Subject Inclusion Criteria
  • Subject is an adult male or female between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive.
  • Subject must have a pre-history of a physician's diagnosis of severe asthma (according to GINA classification) with some reversible airway obstruction (shown by peak flow or FEV1 in the last 12 months with a change of 12% in the absolute FEV1 measurement) and an exclusion of other significant pulmonary diseases (i.e., cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, Interstitial Lung Disease and bronchopulmonary dysplasia)
  • Subject has a positive methacholine test (PC20 < 16). This test sometimes cannot be performed in severe asthmatics because of low baseline FEV1 (< FEV1 50%). SABA reversibility of FEV1 is sufficient to define asthma in absence of MCh PC
  • Subject's asthma has been stable for the past 30 days.
  • The subject has been a non-smoker for the past year and should have less than a 10 pack year history.
  • The subject must be capable of and willing to provide written informed consent
  • The subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements and timetables, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions.
  • Healthy Subject Inclusion Criteria
  • Subject is an adult male or female between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive. (Subjects will be age and gender matched) With age matching, we will enroll in a manner that age and gender will be matched 1:1 in the following cohorts: age 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-
  • Subject must have an exclusion of asthma or other significant pulmonary diseases (i.e., cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, Interstitial Lung Disease and bronchopulmonary dysplasia)
  • The subject has been a non-smoker for the past year and should have less than a 10 pack year history.
  • The subject has a negative methacholine test (PC20 > 16) and does not use inhaled steroids and/or SABA.
  • The subject must be capable of and willing to provide written informed consent
  • The subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements and timetables, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions.

排除标准

  • As a result of the medical interview, physical examination or screening investigations, the physician responsible considers the volunteer unfit for the study.
  • The subject has received an investigational drug or participated in any other research trial within 30 days or 5 half-lives, or twice the duration of the biological effect of any drug (whichever is longer), prior to the current study.
  • No oral steroids within the last 3 months.
  • No current anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy.
  • The subject has a history of alcohol or drug abuse within the last 5 years.
  • The subject has history of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV virus.
  • The subject has a history of chemotherapy or radiotherapy within the last 2 years.
  • The subject has a history of diabetes.
  • The subject is pregnant or lactating.
