Bronchial AsthmaNCT03820427
Evaluation of Novel Lung Function Parameters in Patients With Bronchial Asthma
An observational study of Bronchial Asthma and Pulmonary Healthy Controls, run by Universitätsmedizin Mannheim.
Trial summary
Current guideline-based criteria defining bronchial asthma do not always meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of the disease. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used functional diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with asthma.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Current guideline-based criteria defining bronchial asthma do not always meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of the disease. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used functional diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with asthma.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Bronchial Asthma and Pulmonary Healthy Controls, run by Universitätsmedizin Mannheim.
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 2 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 29 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Global ventilation heterogeneity (time frame: 30 minutes). The study lists 2 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 29 Jan 2019.
