About this study
Official title: GCRC: Monitoring and Outcome Measures in Asthmatics and Smokers (MOMAS) During Pregnancy
Asthma and smoking during pregnancy cause significant morbidity in both the mother and the offspring. Asthma represents the most common respiratory disorder during pregnancy and smoking rates during pregnancy range from 15-30% in the United States. Maternal asthma and smoking during pregnancy have been shown to increase the rate of intrauterine growth retardation and preterm delivery, as well as increase the risk of wheeze, asthma, respiratory infections, and otitis media in children. However, controlled asthmatics during pregnancy have similar pregnancy outcomes to non-asthmatic pregnancies. Measurement of the fractional concentration of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) is a new, easily performed, non-invasive method that has been used to assess airway inflammation in adults and children. The long term goal of this study is to establish baseline FENO values and to monitor airway disease in pregnant asthmatics, pregnant smokers and pregnant controls, and to correlate these levels with other inflammatory markers in the mothers and their offspring. These values will be correlated with current methods to diagnose and monitor disease control in these patients. The use of FENO levels in the pregnant asthmatic may prove to be a better method for monitoring disease control and titrating steroid doses in this population. Finally, this study may identify children at higher risk of developing asthma or allergic disease. This could serve to identify factors that may be modified to prevent or limit the development of these diseases in this population.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Asthma and Tobacco Use, run by University of Kentucky 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 4 inclusion and 18 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2013. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Exhaled nitric oxide levels (time frame: 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 2013.
