Trial summary

Asthma is one of the most common childhood diseases. It is chronic and often severely disabling. The amount of nitric oxide that is exhaled while breathing increases with airway inflammation, a symptom of asthma. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Environmental Exposures, NOS Genes, and Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Pediatric Asthma

Asthma is one of the most common childhood diseases. It is chronic and often severely disabling. The amount of nitric oxide that is exhaled while breathing increases with airway inflammation, a symptom of asthma. This study will examine the results from a previous study, the Cincinnati Asthma Prevention (CAP) study, to evaluate the effects of environmental and genetic factors on exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels and to determine the relationship between eNO and asthma severity.

Read the detailed description

Nitric oxide is a naturally occurring gas that plays a role in many body functions. Levels of eNO increase with airway inflammation, a symptom of asthma. Researchers have proposed using eNO as a noninvasive measure to guide physicians in the treatment and medical management of asthma in children. However, more information about eNO is needed before this can happen. This study will perform a secondary analysis of the results from its parent study, the CAP study, which evaluated the effectiveness of preventing asthma in children who had been exposed to environmental tobacco smoke.

This study will not enroll any new participants. Previously collected data from the CAP study will be reevaluated in this study to determine the longitudinal effects of environmental and genetic factors on eNO levels. In addition, the data will be evaluated to determine the relationship between eNO levels and asthma severity. No new data will be collected in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effects of environmental and genetic factors on exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels and the relationship between eNO and asthma severity (time frame: Measured through the use of data previously collected in the Cincinnati Asthma Prevention (CAP) study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00395096, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2021.
