About this study

Official title: Mild/Moderate Asthma Network of Italy Observatory

The purpose of this registry aims is to collect a large number of patients with mild and moderate asthma in a real-word conditions for a perspective observation of epidemiological evolution of the disease in relation to the therapeutic interventions available currently and in the near future.

Read the detailed description

To represent real-world mild moderate Italian asthmatics, all adults with diagnosed asthma by specialist, according GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) document, attending respiratory or allergy clinic for a scheduled visit are eligible for study enrollment. If inclusion/exclusion criteria are satisfied, a written consent to participate in the study will be obtained and an informative leaflet for the patient and his/her general practitioners will be delivered.

Subjects follow up will be scheduled according with GINA document and center plan (6 or 12 months follow up visit).

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

Contact Fulvio Braido (+ 393386036913, fulvio.braido@unige.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A cluster-based, real world, cross-sectional perspective, observational cohort study (time frame: through study completion; follow-up procedures will last 10 years from the date of the last patient enrolled). 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 NCT04796844, which also lists 2 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.
