Trial summary

Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases. Previous study found a series of differentially expressed genes and proteins (transgelin-2, metallothionein-2, ezrin) in asthmatic rat. The aim of the study is to investigate the changes and associations of these gene with asthma in human. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Association of Transgelin-2, Metallothionein-2 and Ezrin With Asthma: A Case-control Study

Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases. Previous study found a series of differentially expressed genes and proteins (transgelin-2, metallothionein-2, ezrin) in asthmatic rat. The aim of the study is to investigate the changes and associations of these gene with asthma in human.

Read the detailed description

This study will investigate the changes and associations in asthma. In this project, the investigators will explore the changes of gene expression of transgelin-2, metallothionein-2 and ezrin in asthma and investigate their correlation with current diagnosis markers of asthma, including pulmonary function, fractional exhaled nitric oxide,eosinophil counts,immunoglobulin E, interleukin-5, etc.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in gene expression of transgelin-2, metallothionein-2 and ezrin between controls and asthmatic patients

    PCR test of gene expression of transgelin-2, metallothionein-2 and ezrin between controls and asthmatic patients

    Measured: Two year

  2. Association of transgelin-2, metallothionein-2 and ezrin with asthma

    Correlation analysis between gene expressions of transgelin-2, metallothionein-2, ezrin and current asthmatic tests (pulmonary function, fractional exhaled nitric oxide,immunoglobulin E, serum eosinophil counts, interleukin-5, etc)

    Measured: Two year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma, run by Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine at 2 sites in China.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Lei-Miao Yin, MD (13774384237, collegeylm@shutcm.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in gene expression of transgelin-2, metallothionein-2 and ezrin between controls and asthmatic patients (time frame: Two year). 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 8 May 2024.
