Replication of the P04334 Asthma Trial in Healthcare Claims Data
- Conditions
- Asthma
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT04892758
- Lead Sponsor
- Brigham and Women's Hospital
- Brief Summary
Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale replication of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.
- Detailed Description
This is a non-randomized, non-interventional study that is part of the RCT DUPLICATE initiative (www.rctduplicate.org) of the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. It is intended to replicate, as closely as is possible in healthcare insurance claims data, the trial listed below/above. Although many features of the trial cannot be directly replicated in healthcare claims, key design features, including outcomes, exposures, and inclusion/exclusion criteria, were selected to proxy those features from the trial. Randomization is also not replicable in healthcare claims data but was proxied through a statistical balancing of measured covariates according to standard practice. Investigators assume that the RCT provides the reference standard treatment effect estimate and that failure to replicate RCT findings is indicative of the inadequacy of the healthcare claims data for replication for a range of possible reasons and does not provide information on the validity of the original RCT finding.

- >600 to 1000 mcg budesonide dry powder inhaler (DPI)
- >1000 to 2000 mcg flunisolide
- >250 to 500 mcg fluticasone
- 400 mcg MF
- >1000 to 2000 mcg triamcinolone acetonide

Diagnosis of asthma
-
A female subject of childbearing potential must have been using a medically acceptable, adequate form of birth control.
- A subject who experiences an occurrence of any clinical deterioration of asthma that results in emergency treatment, hospitalization due to asthma, or treatment with additional, excluded asthma medication (other than SABA) as judged by the clinical investigator at any time from the Screening Visit up to and including the Baseline Visit
- Emergency room treatment for asthma deterioration requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy or hospitalization for management of airway obstruction within the 3 months before baseline
- A subject who is a smoker or ex-smoker and has smoked within the previous year or has had a cumulative smoking history >10 pack-years
- Visible evidence of oropharyngeal candidiasis at baseline or earlier
