About this trial

The HOMEOS study is an exploratory, observational, and monocentric research. It focuses on characterizing the homeostatic roles of eosinophils in severe asthma. The primary objective is to identify eosinophil subpopulations among different groups of severe asthmatic patients using flow cytometry. The study aims to advance understanding of eosinophil diversity, which could guide new therapeutic approaches .

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers
