What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To identify an optimal prediction rule for classifying sputum eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic asthmatics.

    Variables representing lung function tests, patient reported outcomes, and blood biomarkers will be evaluated singly and in various combinations.

    Measured: 8 Days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To assess which markers are associated with sputum eosinophils.

    Comparing lung function tests between eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic subjects.

    Measured: 8 Days

  2. To assess which markers are associated with sputum eosinophils

    Comparing blood biomarkers between eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic subjects

    Measured: 8 Days

  3. To assess which markers are associated with sputum esonophils

    Comparing sputum biomarkers bewteen eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic subjects

    Measured: 8 Days

  4. To assess which markers are associated with sputum eosinophils.

    Comparing patient reported outcomes between eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic subjects.

    Measured: 8 Days

  5. To evaluate transcript expression profiles in whole blood and/or sputum using microarray analyses

    Measured: 8 Days

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 10 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 11 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

To identify an optimal prediction rule for classifying sputum eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic asthmatics. (time frame: 8 Days). 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 11 Oct 2012.
