We are studying people with COPD and healthy volunteers to see if inflammation in your nose can tell us more about COPD control. To do this, we will collect nasal samples every 3 months over 1 year.
At the first visit, we will ask you questions and have you do breathing tests to see if you are able to take part. If so, we will collect blood and 3 different types of nose samples. You will be asked to come back every 3 months for 1 year to repeat these collections. If you have COPD, we will also ask you to come back during a breathing flare.
$75 per visit
