Read our Asthma research guide →Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
This trial is testing whether —a natural cooling compound—can help relieve shortness of breath in people with asthma. Researchers believe the medication might work by creating a cooling sensation in your airways that helps your brain sense airflow better, making breathing feel easier. The study will compare how you feel and perform during exercise when using the medication versus a placebo (a patch with strawberry scent).
Many people with asthma struggle with shortness of breath during everyday activities, but there aren't many good medications to treat chronic breathlessness. Early research in other lung diseases suggests this treatment might help, so this study is testing whether it works for asthma too.

You will visit the study center for exercise testing sessions. Before exercising on a stationary bike, you'll wear a special facemask with either the menthol patch or a placebo patch attached to it. The researchers will measure how much shortness of breath you feel and how well you can exercise. You'll do this test twice—once with the medication and once with the placebo—so they can compare how each one affects your breathing.
