  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will include patients from 12 years and older with severe asthma, as per the definition of the GINA 2018 Guidelines (GINA, 2018). Patients will be identified and invited to participate in the study consecutively, as they attend their routine clinical visit at the research centers. To be included in the study, each patient should meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria described in the sections below. Patients should provide written, informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures. The enrolment period will be approximately 8 months or until the required number of patients has been included, whichever occurs first

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must fulfil all of the following inclusion criteria to be included in the study:
  • Male or female patient, aged 12 years or older by the time of study entry
  • Patient visiting a participating center for a routine clinical appointment
  • Patient is willing and able to provide a blood sample for IgE and eosinophil levels determination as part of their routine clinical visit
  • Diagnosis of severe asthma for at least one year as defined by:
  • Treatment with guidelines-suggested medications for Global Initiative for Asthma (3) steps 4-5 asthma
  • Patients or their legal guardian, who voluntarily sign and date the informed consent form prior to study entry.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other chronic respiratory condition beyond severe asthma
  • An acute or chronic condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would limit the patient's ability to participate in this study Patients who are currently under a biologic therapy to treat their severe asthma

About this study

Official title: PREPARE STUDY: PRevalence of the Eosinophilic Phenotype Among SeveRE Asthma Patients in AstraZeneca International Region. A Multinational, Cross-Sectional, Multicenter Study

The purpose of this cross-sectional, multicenter study is to determine the prevalence of an eosinophilic phenotype of blood eosinophil count ≥ 300 cells/mm3 among severe asthma patients who attend to sites specialized in the management of severe asthma in several countries in the AstraZeneca International Region. The prevalence of an atopic phenotype and asthma control, will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

To determine the prevalence of an eosinophilic phenotype of blood eosinophil count ≥ 300 cells/mm3 among severe asthma patients attending their routine clinical visit at sites specialized in the management of severe asthma in several countries in the AstraZeneca International Region. The prevalence of an atopic phenotype and the status of asthma control, will also be studied. It is expected that this study will contribute to the understanding of severe asthma, ultimately helping to inform therapeutic decisions and addressing patients' needs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood Eosinophil count

    The level of eosinophils in the blood will be assessed from this blood sample and reported

    Measured: There is only one study visit. During that study visit the sample will be collected

  2. Total serum IgE

    Total serum IgE will be assessed from this blood sample and reported

    Measured: There is only one study visit. during that visit the sample will be collected

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 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 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Mexico, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Chile and 1 more country. 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?

Blood Eosinophil count (time frame: There is only one study visit. During that study visit the sample will be collected). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03931954, 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 29 Jan 2021.
