Clinical Research & Trials

Making tomorrow's treatments possible. Our patients can access cutting-edge respiratory research — including clinical-trial medications alongside FDA-approved biologics.

Broward Pulmonary & Sleep Specialists participates in respiratory clinical research so our patients have access to the latest treatments — often before they're widely available. Below are the areas we're actively researching. If you think you might qualify, call our research line at (954) 520-7296.

Areas of Research

What We're Studying

Asthma

Affects over 300 million people worldwide. Studies focus on:

  • New biologics for severe asthma
  • Novel inhaler combinations
  • Long-acting treatments for better symptom control
  • Reducing the frequency of exacerbations

COPD

Impacts about 1 in 7 adults over 40. Current research explores:

  • Novel anti-inflammatory approaches
  • Treatments to reduce flare-ups
  • Solutions to reduce day-to-day symptoms
  • Whether better COPD control lowers heart-attack risk

Bronchiectasis

A chronic condition of infection and inflammation that permanently damages the lung airways. We study new approaches to control infections and reduce exacerbations.

Who may qualify?

Eligibility depends on the specific study, but people often considered include:

Asthma

  • Frequent exacerbations despite current treatment
  • Currently on inhaler therapy

COPD

  • Diagnosed with COPD for at least 1 year
  • 1+ flare-up in the past 12 months needing steroids/antibiotics
  • Current or former smoker (≥10 pack-years)
  • On inhaler therapy (often triple therapy, e.g., Trelegy/Breztri)

Bronchiectasis

  • Confirmed diagnosis by CT scan within the past 5 years
  • Chronic mucopurulent (thick, discolored) sputum
  • 2+ exacerbations needing antibiotics in 12 months, or 1+ hospitalization
  • No cystic fibrosis
