Predictive Ability of Therapeutic Risk Factors in Pediatric and Adult Asthma Patients
An observational study of Asthma, run by GlaxoSmithKline.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive ability of three asthma risk markers: the ratio of controller medication to total asthma medication, an albuterol only marker, and an oral corticosteroid use marker, as well as to compare the precision of these tools between adult and pediatric patient populations.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive ability of three asthma risk markers: the ratio of controller medication to total asthma medication, an albuterol only marker, and an oral corticosteroid use marker, as well as to compare the precision of these tools between adult and pediatric patient populations. This retrospective longitudinal analysis will use 2 different databases: a large managed care database and a large fee for service Medicaid database.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Asthma treatment with an asthma-related medication and at least one asthma controller medicationDrug
participants with an asthma diagnosis who also had at least one dispensing event of an asthma-related medication and had at least one asthma controller medication (inhaled corticosteroids containing inhalers, methylxanthines, leukotriene receptor antagonists, cromolyn sodium) or albuterol.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Pediatric participants | Pediatric participants (age 4 to 17) with a diagnosis of asthma Receives: Drug: Asthma treatment with an asthma-related medication and at least one asthma controller medication | |
| Adult participants | Adult participants (age 18 and older) with a diagnosis of asthma Receives: Drug: Asthma treatment with an asthma-related medication and at least one asthma controller medication |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Ratio of Controller Medication to Total Asthma Medication
The ratio of controller medication (CM) to total asthma medication (AM), which is well established in predicting future asthma events in adults, was calculated as the ratio of the units of CMs used during the defined period divided by the sum of the units of CMs plus the units of inhaled short-acting beta-agonists used during the same period. A CM is defined as any inhaled corticosteroid containing medication, methylxanthines, leukotriene receptor antagonists, or cromolyn sodium. The ratio is calculated using all CM. Asthma controllers are medications used to treat asthma on a regular basis.
Measured: January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2006: 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up periods
Secondary outcomes (1)
Mean Number of Short-acting Beta-agonist (SABA) Canisters Used
The number of albuterol canisters dispensed is a marker that is well established in predicting future asthma events in an adult population.
Measured: January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2006: 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up periods

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Jun 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Mean Ratio of Controller Medication to Total Asthma Medication (time frame: January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2006: 3, 6, and 12 month follow-up periods). 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.
