Currently Enrolling Research Studies

We are currently seeking patient referrals for pulmonary clinical trials. Specific study protocols and eligibility criteria are reviewed on an individual basis — contact our research team for complete, current details.

Asthma Clinical Trials

Severe Asthma Research Studies

Overview: Advanced Asthma Clinic participates in clinical research evaluating investigational and biologic therapies for adults with severe or difficult-to-control asthma, including patients who may not currently be eligible for standard biologic treatment. Studies may include novel injectable therapies, dose-finding studies, and imaging-based assessments.

Eligibility varies by study and generally considers factors such as asthma severity, prior treatment history, and inflammatory markers. Contact our research team for current eligibility criteria.

COPD Clinical Trials

COPD Research Studies

Overview: Our COPD research program evaluates investigational and FDA-approved therapies for patients with moderate to very severe COPD, including studies focused on reducing exacerbations, cardiovascular risk, and chronic airway inflammation.

Eligibility varies by study and generally considers factors such as COPD severity, smoking history, exacerbation history, and inflammatory markers. Contact our research team for current eligibility criteria.

Chronic Cough Trials

Chronic Cough Research

Overview: Advanced Asthma Clinic has a history of studying investigational treatments for patients with refractory or unexplained chronic cough lasting a year or more that has not responded adequately to standard treatments.

Availability of studies in this condition area varies. Please contact our research team to inquire about current or upcoming enrollment opportunities.

Other studies for bronchiectasis and additional respiratory conditions may also be available or starting soon. Contact our research referral line for the most current list of enrolling studies and detailed eligibility criteria.

Is a Clinical Trial Right for You?

Clinical trials may be particularly beneficial if:

  • Your asthma or COPD is not well-controlled with current treatments available in the Plantation, FL area
  • You experience frequent exacerbations (flare-ups requiring steroids or hospitalization)
  • You are looking to reduce your dependence on oral steroids (like prednisone)
  • Standard treatments haven't provided sufficient relief or have caused side effects
  • You have specific types of inflammation (e.g., high eosinophils) or conditions like chronic cough that match our study criteria
  • You want access to potentially groundbreaking therapies at no cost while under the care of Dr. Hull

Our research coordinators will carefully review your medical history to help determine if you might qualify for one of our studies.
