About this study

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of Bronchial Thermoplasty on moderate bronchial asthma in China, by observing the improvement of quality of life, the decrease of acute attack and emergence, as well as the incidence of related complications.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, open-label and single arm study. At least 50 patients with moderate asthma receive Bronchial Thermoplasty for three times. Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ), Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), Frequency of mild asthma acute attack, PEF, FEV1, Emergency and Hospitalization are compared between before and after BT treatment.

The unified peak flow test meter will be provided to all subjects enrolled in this study. They will get a follow-up diary book before leaving hospital. In order to ensure the efficiency, all enrolled asthma patients are trained and tested by doctors and nurses from in-patient or out-patient department when they follow up, including how to use the PEF meter, how to read and record the data. As for the dosage of medication, all the medication uses are followed the doctor's advice, once the rescue medications were used, the times and dosages are mandatory to be recorded in the diary book by the patients themselves.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Bronchial Thermoplasty in people with Moderate 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 6 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 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 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact yanqiuzi cheng (15915709477, 736145682@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change from baseline2 AQLQ score after Bronchial Thermoplasty (time frame: baseline2、6 weeks after the third surgery、3、6、9 、12 months after the third surgery and stoping laba for 2 weeks). 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 NCT02965807, which also lists 8 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 17 Nov 2016.
