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 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All subjects who underwent BT treatment in the TASMA study (protocol No.NL45394.018.13) and were not lost to follow-up at the end of the 30 week pre-marked visit, and those willing to comply with the study protocol and routine visits for the duration of the study will be included. The expected number of patients included in the TASMA study is n=40. These are patients with severe asthma despite maximal asthma therapy.

Who may be able to join

  • Subject participation in the TASMA study
  • Ability and willingness to provide informed consent.
  • Ability to comply with the study protocol

Who cannot join

  • Subject participating in another clinical trial involving respiratory intervention which in the opinion of the investigator might interfere with the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Severe exacerbations rate

    exacerbations / subject / year measured yearly over 5 years will be compared to the health care utilization pre- and 6 months post BT-treatment.

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  2. Emergency room visit for respiratory symptoms rate

    emergency room visits for respiratory symptoms/subject/year measured yearly over 5 years will be compared to the health care utilization pre- and 6 months post BT-treatment.

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  3. Hospitalization for respiratory symptoms rate

    hospitalizations for respiratory symptoms/subject/year measured yearly over 5 years will be compared to the health care utilization pre- and 6 months post BT-treatment.

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Pre-and post bronchodilator forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) and related FEV1 % reversibility

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  2. provocative concentration causing a 20% fall (PC20 ) methacholine test

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  3. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  4. Airway-resistance (sRaw) mechanics

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  5. Airway-conductance(sGaw) mechanics

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  6. forced oscillation technique (FOT)

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured over 5 years

  7. Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) scores

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  8. Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) scores

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  9. Maintenance dose of oral steroids

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  10. Maintenance dose of inhaled steroids

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  11. Rescue medication use

    measured yearly over 5 years compared to the parameters measured pre- and 6 months post-BT treatment

    Measured: measured yearly over 5 years

  12. Airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass

    ASM mass as determined by percentage/absolute ASM surface area and distance of reticular basement membrane (RBM) to ASM layer in endobronchial biopsies

    Measured: 2 years after inclusion, 2,5 years after BT

  13. optical coherence tomography (OCT) determined changes

    OCT determined changes in structural airway remodelling as measured by changes in lumen area (Ai) and airway wall thickness (Aaw).

    Measured: 2 years after inclusion, 2,5 years after BT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Asthma, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2019. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Severe exacerbations rate (time frame: measured yearly over 5 years). 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?
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 5 Jul 2019.
