About this study

Official title: Role of PDG2 in the Aspirin-Induced Reactions and in the Treatment of Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease

The purpose of this research study is to learn new information about the underlying cause of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) and the benefit of high-dose aspirin therapy. AERD is a disease that involves asthma, recurring nasal polyps, and respiratory reactions to aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This study will be conducted on individuals with AERD who are referred to the Brigham and Women's Hospital AERD Center for clinical evaluation and potential aspirin desensitization. Desensitization to aspirin and subsequent treatment with daily high-dose oral aspirin is standard of care for patients with AERD who do not respond adequately to steroids and have recurrent nasal polyposis or symptomatic asthma. This study will involve five visits to Brigham and Women's Hospital and will align closely with the standard of care for the treatment of AERD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma, Aspirin-Induced, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 30 Sep 2022. 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?

Therapeutic efficacy of high-dose aspirin as assessed by asthma symptom control (Asthma Control Questionnaire) (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02824523, which also lists 2 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 30 Sep 2022.
