About this study

To investigate the distributions of the patients with ACOS, asthma and COPD over age 40 with chronic airflow limitation in China.

Read the detailed description

Sites must be tier 3 hospitals in China. Investigators will mainly be determined according to the following criteria:

  • Respiratory physicians working in the respiratory department of tier 3 hospitals
  • To include the expected number of patients in a maximum of 12 months, physicians should manage a reasonable number of asthma, COPD or ACOS over age 40 with persistent airflow limitation (post-BD FEV1/FVC<0.7).
  • Physicians should have patients' spirometric data available in the patient's medical files (post-BD FEV1%pred and post-BD FEV1/FVC).

This NIS will collect the data (e.g. medical record, patient or physician-reported data) from about 2000 consecutive outpatients with persistent airflow limitation(post-BD FEV1/FVC<0.7) in about 20 sites in China for one year. Each site will recruit about 50-150 patients successively.

The data will be collected under routine clinical practice. The treatments or examinations will be determined by their treating physicians. The data are expected to reflect the actual situation about ACOS.

The study population will be about 2000 outpatients, men or women, over age 40, with a clinical diagnosis of asthma, COPD or ACOS with persistent airflow limitation(post-BD FEV1/FVC<0.7)in China from Q4,2015 to Q3,2016.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of ACOS among the patients over age 40 with persistent airflow limitation (post-BD FEV1/FVC<0.7) based on GINA and GOLD 2015 definition

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. - The proportions of COPD and asthma, respectively, among the patients over age 40 with persistent airflow limitation (post-BD FEV1/FVC<0.7) based on GINA and GOLD 2015 definition.

    Measured: one day

  2. - The distributions of the severity of airflow limitation according to GOLD lung function grading based on post-BD FEV1 in patients with ACOS, COPD or asthma.

    Measured: one day

  3. - The distribution of groups according to GOLD 2015 group definition (A,B,C,D) in patients with ACOS or COPD.

    Measured: one day

  4. - The distribution of medication by drug class in patients with ACOS, Asthma and COPD.

    Measured: one day

  5. - The proportions of previous diagnosis as asthma/COPD/chronic bronchitis/emphysema in the ACOS patients.

    Measured: one day

  6. The number of Acute exacerbations history in 12 months before the visit

    Measured: one day

  7. The severity of Acute exacerbations history in 12 months before the visit

    Measured: one day

  8. The days of hospitalization or emergency room visit of Acute exacerbations history in 12 months before the visit

    Measured: one day

  9. Severity of ACOS patients evaluated using CAT (mild, moderate, severe and very severe) in ACOS patients

    Measured: one day

  10. Severity of ACOS patients evaluated using ACQ-5 (complete control, good control and uncontrolled) in ACOS patients

    Measured: one day

  11. Severity of ACOS patients evaluated using mMRC (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) in ACOS patients

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome, run by AstraZeneca at 13 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 17 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites 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?

The proportion of ACOS among the patients over age 40 with persistent airflow limitation (post-BD FEV1/FVC<0.7) based on GINA and GOLD 2015 definition (time frame: one day). 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 NCT02600221, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Oct 2017.
