Respiratory Research Pre-Screening

Summary

This pre-screening protocol is for people who would like to participate in a respiratory clinical trial. The protocol will allow us to determine:

1) which research project is the best fit for each person; and
2) if a person meets each study's eligibility criteria

The Respiratory Clinical Trials Centre has several research projects ongoing at any time. These projects will include subjects with asthma or COPD. They can sometimes involve healthy individuals as well.

If you agree to take part in the pre-screening protocol, the study team will ask you to complete three tests:

1) Spirometry
2) Methacholine Challenge
3) Allergy Skin Prick Test
