Overview
Brief Summary
The PRIME study is an observational, Real World Evidence study designed to collect the type of treatments that are currently prescribed to patients with mild asthma and to collect relevant clinical data that could reflect the control of the disease over a 6-month observational period according to the standard clinical practice.
Detailed Description
Outpatients attending the hospital clinics/study centres will be recruited. Patients with mild asthma treated by Step 1 or step 2 treatments according to GINA report will be recruited. A total of approximately 1200 patients will be enrolled. Patients will be followed-up during a 6-month observational period according to standard practices.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To describe the real-world patterns of treatment of subjects with mild asthma during a 6-month observational period.
Time Frame: 6-months period
Duration of asthma treatments (in months): * overall * by drug class (i.e., any switch to drugs within the same class will be considered as a continuation of the treatment) and by active substance (i.e., any dose adaptation will be considered as a continuation of the same drug). This will be adapted according to data availability.
