About this study

Official title: To Delineate the Characteristics of Airway Inflammation and Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness in Rhinitic Children With or Without Asthma and Sought to Explore a Possible Predictor in the Progression of Allergic Rhinitis to Asthma

This is a prospective observational study , to clarity the characteristics of airway inflammation, airway reactivity and airway resistance in rhinitic children with or without asthma and to explore the possible predictors in the progression of allergic rhinitis to asthma.

Read the detailed description

Children 6-15 years old with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma diagnosed by specialist physician are enrolled in the department of respiratory and otorhinolaryngology and pediatrics in Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease. According to presence of typical symptoms and signs, patients are divided into allergic rhinitis without asthma (AR group) , allergic rhinitis concomitant asthma (AS+AR group), asthma without rhinitis (AS group). In addition, healthy students in a school are enrolled as normal control group. History of all subjects are collected, the following measurements are performed: skin prick test (SPT), peripheral blood cells five-classification test, serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and specific IgE of common inhalant allergens testing, nasal lavage and induced sputum cells classification ,pulmonary function test, bronchial provocation test using methacholine,airway resistance measured by impulse oscillation technique, the levels of eosinophil(ECP),eosinophil peroxidase(EPO).Meanwhile myeloperoxidase (MPO)and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) are measured in induced sputum ,in nasal lavage and in serum.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02360072
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AR groupAllergic rhinitis without any typical asthma symptoms
AsthmaAccompanied by typical asthma symptoms and Δ FEV1≥12% in response to a short-acting bronchodilator or bronchial hyperreactivity(BHR) in the methacholine provocation test (PC20≤2.504mg)
AR+AsthmaDiagnosed allergic rhinitis concomitant asthma symptoms
Control groupnon-atopic subjects with neither a history of rhinitis nor asthma

What is being measured

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

  1. To explore if an elevated level of fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO) is a possible predictor of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in AR.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To explore if an elevated eosinophils in induced sputum is a possible predictor of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in AR.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. To explore if an elevated eosinophils in nasal nasal lavage fluid is a possible predictor of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in AR.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. To compare lower airway resistance (Z5,R5,X5,R5-20,R20 and Fres) using impulse oscillation among the groups [Allergic rhinitis(AR) group, Asthma group, AR+Asthma and control group].

    Measured: 1 year

  4. To compare cumulative dosage of methacholine causing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (PC20FEV1-MCH) among the groups.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. To compare forced vital capacity (FVC) , forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced expired flow at 25% of FVC(FEF25) and forced expired flow at 75% of FVC (FEF75) among groups.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. To compare levels of eosinophil(ECP),eosinophil peroxidase(EPO), myeloperoxidase (MPO)and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) in induced sputum and nasal lavage fluid among the groups.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rhinitis and Asthma, run by Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 Mar 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 China. 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 explore if an elevated level of fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO) is a possible predictor of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in AR. (time frame: 1 year). 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 Mar 2021.
