Causes And MEchanisms foR non-atopic Asthma in children (CAMERA) Study
REFNo: HS2510ES

There is an urgent need for new and innovative research into the causes of non-atopic asthma (NAA), and the likely mechanisms involved. The objectives of this study are therefore to: I. investigate the causes of NAA in a variety of settings: high and low asthma prevalence, HICs and LMICs (Work Package 1 (WP1) II. investigate three possible mechanisms of NAA in these different settings, including the relative importance of neural mechanisms (Work Package 2 (WP2)) This intended scientific value of study is to provide key ground-breaking insights into the causes and mechanisms of the poorly-studied yet predominant non-atopic asthma phenotype because: (i) non-atopic asthma likely has different causes from atopic asthma, and these have been little studied to date in both high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries; (ii) non-atopic asthma likely involves different mechanisms, which require different treatments. This study is likely to show, in a variety of settings, that a substantial proportion of non-atopic asthma may involve different mechanisms, and will identify new directions and priorities for prevention, mechanistic research, and the development of new therapies
