About this study

Official title: B2adrenergic Receptor Gene Polymorphism in Bronchial Asthma: Relation to Disease Severity and Control

The b2-adrenoceptor (b2AR) mediates the physiological responses in the airway, which include bronchodilation, bronchoprotection. The b2-adrenoceptor (b2AR) mediates the physiological responses in the airway, which include bronchodilation, bronchoprotection, Enhanced mucociliary clearance.

The b2AR gene is located on chromosome 5q31-q32, a region that is genetically linked to asthma and related phenotypes. There are three best known polymorphisms in the coding region of the b2AR gene that can modulate the function of the receptor.

Read the detailed description

Asthma is a complex disease and has a strong genetic component in its pathogenesis. So far, considerable efforts have been made to evaluate the association between genetic variants and asthma risk, and numerous genes have been identified as asthma Reporting Items susceptible genes.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure number of patient with homozygous and heterozygous B2AD gene polymorphisms with focus on Arg/Gly16 and Gln/Glu27 polymorphism

    study of prevalence homozygote and heterozygote patients

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patient with b2AR gene polymorphisms in different asthma severity and different response of treatment of asthma ( Arg/Gly16 and Gln/Glu27 polymorphism)

    correlation between polymorphism and pulmonary function test and level of disease control

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gene Abnormality and Asthma, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 28 Aug 2017. 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 Egypt. 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?

To measure number of patient with homozygous and heterozygous B2AD gene polymorphisms with focus on Arg/Gly16 and Gln/Glu27 polymorphism (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT03118869, 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 28 Aug 2017.
