Description
Summary:HyunKuk.Kim@hli.ubc.ca Rationale: Studies have shown that some patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have persistently elevated blood eosinophil counts, which may be a marker for steroid responsiveness. DISARM is a randomized, parallel group, multi-center trial (NCT 02833480), currently in progress, to assess the effects of inhaled anti-inflammatory drugs on the lung microbiome.
