This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing bronchial thermoplasty, a procedure where controlled heat is delivered to the airways to help restore normal airway function in people with severe asthma. The study focuses on patients whose asthma remains uncontrolled even after trying biologic medications or who cannot take biologics for other reasons. Researchers want to see if this non-drug procedure can improve symptoms and quality of life.
About 3–4% of people with asthma have severe disease that keeps getting worse, even with strong inhalers and newer biologic medications. Many patients don't respond to these biologics or aren't eligible for them, leaving them with frequent asthma attacks, ongoing need for steroid pills, and many hospital visits. This trial exists because there is a real need for new treatment options for these patients.

If you are assigned to receive the procedure, a pulmonologist will perform bronchial thermoplasty in three separate sessions spaced three weeks apart while you are under deep sedation or anesthesia. In each session, heat energy is applied to different sections of your airways: the right lower lobe first, then the left lower lobe, then both upper lobes. If you are assigned to the usual care group, you will continue your current asthma treatment plan. Throughout the trial, you will be monitored to see how your asthma symptoms, lung function, and quality of life change.
