About this study

The investigators hypothesize that there is a statistically significant decrease of Natriuretic Hormone Peptides (NHPs) in subjects with asthma exacerbation compared to levels following treatment of an exacerbation of asthma.

Read the detailed description

Overall Study Design

  1. Measurement of Natriuretic Hormone Peptides in individuals suffering from exacerbation of asthma.
  2. Measurement of Natriuretic Hormone Peptides 5-7 days after initiation of treatment of exacerbation of asthma.
  3. Measurement of Natriuretic Hormone Peptides 10-14 days after initiation of treatment of exacerbation of asthma.

3 comparisons of Natriuretic Hormone Peptides levels will be made:

  1. Exacerbation compared to 5-7 days after initiation of treatment
  2. Exacerbation compared to 10-14 days after initiation of treatment
  3. 5-7 days after initiation of treatment compared to 10-14 days after initiation of treatment.

Samples of blood will be secured in the Division of Allergy/Immunology at the University of South Florida, Joy McCann Culverhouse Airways Disease Center. All samples will be appropriately coded to maintain confidentiality. Blood specimens will be held at minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ASTHMA, run by University of South Florida 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 6 inclusion and 0 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 28 May 2015. 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?

The measurement of NHPs after treatment of an exacerbation of asthma (time frame: 14 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 28 May 2015.
