- A Trial Evaluating Novel Technologies for the Diagnosis of Asthma The LUNG-TECH Trial — Recruiting • Respiratory / COPD / Asthma • NCT05819944.
- Novel diagnostic technologies are being evaluated across three pathways to determine their clinical utility in asthma diagnosis, including their ability to differentiate asthma from health and other respiratory conditions, with the goal of generating evidence for NHS adoption into standard practice.
- Patient eligibility encompasses adults with confirmed asthma, suspected asthma, and healthy control volunteers, allowing the trial to establish diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity across different clinical presentations and disease states.

This trial aims to evaluate novel diagnostic technologies for asthma in 3 different pathways providing the necessary evidence-base to allow adoption into clinical practice: * Pathway 1 evaluates whether the technology can distinguish between people with asthma and healthy volunteers, and other respiratory conditions in a well characterised secondary-care population and whether the parameters they measure correlate with the current standard diagnostic tests; * Pathway 2 assesses whether the technology can accurately diagnose asthma (either independently or alongside current diagnostic tests) in a primary care population of patients where there…
- : * • Diagnosis confirmed by a specialist supported by any of the following within the last 5-years: i) Evidence of variable and/or reversible airflow obstruction * FEV1/FVC ratio 20 PYH (other than COPD and asthma with significant smoking history group) * The participant is unable to provide informed consent or is unable to complete the study procedures Healthy Volunteers: * No current clinical diagnosis of (or treatment for) a respiratory disease and no treatment for a respiratory tract Infection within the last 6 months * Never smoker or ex-smoker with ≤10 pack-years smoking history, and stopped smoking at least 6-months prior to enrolment * Non-obstructive spirometry
