Study on Patterns of Care in Mild Asthmatic Patients

Completed
Conditions
Asthma
Registration Number
NCT04598555
Lead Sponsor
Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To describe the real-world patterns of treatment of subjects with mild asthma during a 6-month observational period.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.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To describe the evolution of lung function parameters (FVC (%))during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

Spirometry results at enrolment and at 6-month follow-up visit (according to sites' standard practice): measurement of FVC % predicted

Asthma exacerbations history data description

To describe subjects' level of asthma symptoms control by means of the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5) during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

ACQ-5 score. ACQ-5 is a 7-point scale (0=no impairment, 6= maximum impairment) and scores range between 0 (totally controlled) and 6 (severely uncontrolled).

To describe the evolution of lung function parameters (FEV1 (L)) during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

Spirometry results at enrolment and at 6-month follow-up visit (according to sites' standard practice): measurement of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) in L

To describe the evolution of lung function parameters (FVC (L)) during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

Spirometry results at enrolment and at 6-month follow-up visit (according to sites' standard practice): Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in L

To describe the occurrence of asthma exacerbations during the 6-month observational period6-months period

Number of Asthma exacerbations during the 6-month observational period (seriousness, severity, relatedness to the treatment product, start date and end date (duration will be calculated during data analysis), outcome, action taken with respect to drug and other treatments used to treat exacerbations)

To describe the subjects' quality of life by means of the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniAQLQ) during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

MiniAQLQ scores. The MiniAQLQ is a 7-point Likert scale (7 = not impaired at all - 1 = severely impaired) and scores range 1-7, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

To describe the Daytime and night-time symptoms of subjects with mild asthma at enrolment visitAt enrolment

Type of daytime and night-time symptoms

To describe the Asthma Diagnosis of subjects with mild asthma at enrolment visitAt enrolment

Type of diagnosis strategy

To describe the evolution of lung function parameters (FEV1/FVC ratio) during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

Spirometry results at enrolment and at 6-month follow-up visit (according to sites' standard practice): measurement of FEV1/FVC ratio in %

To describe the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in subjects with mild asthma during the 6-month observational period.6-month

Only Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) to any asthma medication occurred during the 6-month observational period will be collected

To describe the Socio-demographics data of subjects with mild asthma at enrolment visitAt enrolment

BMI in kg/m\^2

To describe subjects' level of asthma symptoms control by means of the Asthma Control Test (ACT) during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

ACT score. ACT is a 5-point scale (for symptoms and activities: 1=all the time to 5= not at all; for asthma control rating: 1=not controlled at all to 5=completely controlled). ACT scores range from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 (complete control of asthma), with higher scores reflecting greater asthma control. An ACT score \>19 indicates well-controlled asthma.

To describe the utilization of healthcare resources in subjects with mild asthma during the 6- month observational period6-months period

Duration of Inward/Day-hospital hospitalizations

To describe the evolution of lung function parameters (FEV1 (%)) during the 6-month observational periodAt enrolment and at 6-month

Spirometry results at enrolment and at 6-month follow-up visit (according to sites' standard practice): measurement of FEV1 predicted value in %,
