About this study

Official title: Assessment of Treatment Patterns of Severe Asthmatic Patients Across the Gulf Region - SevEos Study SevEos is a Cross-sectional, Multi-center, Non-interventional Study Aimed to Describe the Treatment Patterns in 250 Severe Asthma Patients Across the Gulf Region.

SevEos is a cross-sectional, multi-center, non-interventional study aimed to describe the treatment patterns in 250 severe asthma patients across the Gulf region. In addition, the study will determine the current level of asthma control and quality of life in these patients; describe the exacerbation patterns; and determine the current levels of blood eosinophils for the enrolled patients.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to describe the treatments patterns of severe asthmatic patients across four Gulf countries during the past year.

Secondary Objectives

  1. To determine the current level of asthma control in these patients. In addition, a comparison of uncontrolled asthma between those with a eosinophilic count ≥ 300 cell/μl and those with an elevated eosinophilic count less than that.
  2. To determine the current and past year levels of blood eosinophils, and the percentage of patients with elevated eosinophilic level ≥ 150 cells/μL and ≥ 300 cells/μL
  3. To describe the frequency of exacerbations during the past year.
  4. To assess the current quality of life (QoL) of these patients.
  5. To determine the past year levels of serum IgE.
  6. Exploratory objective: To determine the past year levels of other inflammatory biomarkers like periostin and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO).

What is being measured

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

  1. Asthma treatment and its patterns through generic names.

    Changes in Asthma treatment stages during the last year based on the number of prescribed:

    • Short-acting: muscarinic antagonists (SAMA),
    • long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA),
    • Long-acting Beta agonist (LABA),
    • Corticosteroids (Inhaled(ICS), Oral(OCS) \& Parental),
    • Theophylline,
    • Biologics.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Asthma treatment and its patterns through dosage

    Changes in Asthma treatment stages during the last year based on the dosage:

    • Short-acting: muscarinic antagonists (SAMA),
    • long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA),
    • Long-acting Beta agonist (LABA),
    • Corticosteroids (Inhaled(ICS), Oral(OCS) \& Parental),
    • Theophylline,
    • Biologics.

    Measured: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Asthma Control

    Asthma control will be assed using "The Asthma Control Questionnaire". The questionnaire was developed by Elizabeth Juniper( MCSP, MSc Professor, 20 Marcuse Fields) Bosham, West Sussex PO18 8NA, England), to measure both the adequacy of asthma control and change in asthma control, which occurs either spontaneously or as a result of treatment.

    Patients are asked to respond to questions on a 7-point scale (0=no impairment, 6= maximum impairment). The questions are equally weighted and the ACQ score is the mean of the 7 questions and therefore between 0 (totally controlled) and 6 (severely uncontrolled). A change or difference in score of 0.5 is the smallest that can be considered clinically important.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Exacerbations

    Collection of exacerbations records based on history of documented Emergency Room(ER),hospital visits and hospitalizations (asthma-related)

    Measured: 1 year

  3. quality of life (QoL)

    Quality of life will be assed using "Asthma Quality of life Questionnaire with Standardised Activities", a questionnaire developed by Elizabeth Juniper( MCSP, MSc Professor, 20 Marcuse Fields Bosham, West Sussex PO18 8NA, England) to measure the functional problems (physical, emotional, social and occupational) that are most troublesome for patients with asthma. There are 32 questions in the questoinnaire and they are in 4 domains (symptoms, activity limitation, emotional function and environmental stimuli). Patients are asked during the previous two weeks and to respond to 32 questions on a 7-point scale (7 = not impaired at all - 1 = severely impaired). Scores range 1-7, higher scores indicating better quality of life. The better outcome is of higher score value, 0 (totally controlled), 6 (severely uncontrolled).

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Eosinophil count

    Proportion of severe asthmatics with eosinophil count (threshold ≥150cells/μL and ≥300 cells/μL) based on current/most recent blood eosinophil level during the past year.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. level of blood eosinophil.

    Mean or median level of blood eosinophil during the past year.

    Measured: 1 Year

  6. Total serum IgE

    Mean or median levels of total serum IgE during the past year.

    Measured: 1 Year

  7. Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume

    Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 sec

    Measured: 1 Year

  8. Post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume

    Post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 sec

    Measured: 1 Year

  9. Pre-bronchodilator expiratory forced vital capacity

    Pre-bronchodilator expiratory forced vital capacity in 1 sec

    Measured: 1 Year

  10. Post-bronchodilator forced vital capacity

    Post-bronchodilator forced vital capacity in 1 sec

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Asthma, run by AstraZeneca at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2020. 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 Oman, United Arab Emirates. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Asthma treatment and its patterns through generic names. (time frame: 1 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 10 Sep 2020.
