Detailed Description:
This is a multi-center longitudinal exploratory study of biomarkers, clinical and physiological parameters in patients with mild, moderate, severe asthma and healthy control volunteers. There is no therapeutic intervention and this protocol will not restrict or introduce any medical interventions including medications. Study participants will undergo procedures that include pulmonary function testing, assessment of airway reactivity, blood samples for routine laboratory tests, biomarkers and DNA evaluation (for some study participants), induced sputum collection, and exhaled nitric oxide collection. All patients with asthma will have additional follow-up visits at 3, 6, and 12 months for repeat sample collection for biomarker analysis and the assessment of clinical and physiological parameters. Up to thirty patients from each asthma severity group and all healthy volunteers will undergo a bronchoscopy for collection of endobronchial biopsy and brushing samples. These samples will be used for analysis of proteins, RNA and other biomarkers in endobronchial tissue and epithelial cells. This is a non-drug study. Healthy volunteers will be in the study for approximately 1 month. Asthmatic patients will be in the study for approximately 1 year.
