Summary
Brief summary
Quercetin is a naturally occurring antioxidant with antiviral and anti-inflammatory activity. It has been shown to reduce many inflammatory pathways that are present in asthma and inhibits the activity of common respiratory viruses that can cause flare-ups in patients with asthma. The benefits of quercetin in clinical trials have been inconsistent and this is likely due to the small amount of quercetin that is absorbed into the bloodstream and the relatively low doses of quercetin used in most clinical trials. Much larger doses of quercetin are likely to be required to attain beneficial clinical effects. We plan to undertake a feasibility study to evaluate whether higher doses of quercetin can attain adequate blood concentrations, and to assess the safety of these high doses. This information will inform the development of a randomised controlled trial of quercetin for the treatment of asthma. This study is a single centre, dose-ranging, open-label study of high dose oral quercetin in adults randomised to receive either 2000 mg daily, or 4000 mg daily in two divided doses. Primary outcome measured is the plasma quercetin level after 6 weeks of high dose supplementation. Secondary outcomes includes change in full blood count, renal function, liver function, c-reactive protein, adherence and adverse events.
