Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: A total of 100 asthmatic patients of both sexes, aged between 18 and 80 years will be included in the study. They have not a respiratory infection in the last month. Of the 100 patients, 50 will be hypersecretory asthmatic patients and 50 non- hypersecretory asthmatic patients. Both groups have an even distribution regarding sex, age, level and disease control. Asthma patients were defined according to the criteria of the GEMA 2015 -GINA 2014

Inclusion criteria: Asthmatic patients aged between 18 and 80 years.They have not a respiratory infection in the last month.

Criteria for exclusion: Presence of other lung disease, Sequelae of tuberculosis, Bronchiectasis (large, secondary to a different asthma respiratory disease), Cystic fibrosis, Residual pleural disease, Interstitial diseases, Severe comorbidity, Patients with oral corticosteroids or other immunomodulators by causes other than asthma.

About this study

Official title: Asthma With Hypersecretion-associated Gene for Cystic Fibrosis Clinical, Inflammatory and Genetics Characterization

The combination of asthma and being a carrier of genetic variants (mutations and / or polymorphisms) in the CFTR gene variant would cause bronchial asthma with mucus hypersecretion. This phenotype is characterized by a more severe disease, in terms of control, quality of life, exacerbations and lung function, and a different asthma the bronchial hypersecretion without inflammatory phenotype.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective:

Determine the presence of genetic variants (mutations and / or polymorphisms) of the CFTR gene in patients with asthma with or without bronchial mucus hypersecretion.

Secondary objectives:

To identify genetic variants (mutations and / or polymorphisms) of the most common CFTR gene in the asthmatic population. -To define the inflammatory phenotype of asthma with bronchial mucus hypersecretion. -To compare the severity, control, quality of life and frequency of exacerbations of asthma patients with or without bronchial mucus hypersecretion

What participants receive

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

  • Asthma patientsGenetic

    Patients with inclusion criteria, following examinations: a study of lung function measurement of the fraction of nitric oxide in exhaled air, induced sputum, sputum, and extraction of peripheral venous blood for Study of genetic variants in the CFTR gene,skin prick test . The number of eosinophils in peripheral blood by automated cell counting and Total IgE by ELISA were measured. Furthermore, the level of asthma control be assessed by validated symptom questionnaire Asthma Control Test, quality of life is determined by the MiniAQLQ questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 19 Oct 2016. 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 Spain. 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?

Number of asthmatic patients CF carriers (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02558127, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 19 Oct 2016.
