NCT06163807

Brief Summary

Primary objective \- To study the stability of different phenotypes and endotypes of asthma at 3, 5, and 7 years of follow-up and - in MEGA COHORT and in patients on biologic treatment Secondary objective(s)

  • To study biomarkers variation post-treatment in patients with and without Nasal Polyposis
  • To demonstrate the existence of different subtypes of eosinophils that may be phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous
  • To increase the number of patients in the cohort on biologic treatment to reach at least 900 (400 over the current cohort).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Correlation between non-invasive T2 biomarkers versus biomarkers in sputum

    biomarkers in blood (eosinophils, mRNA, periostine), exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), sputum cell analysis and mRNA expression

    at date of randomization and after one year of follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Analysis of treatable traits on asthma control by ACT questionnaire

    at date of randomization and after one, two and three years of follow-up

  • To characterize asthma exacerbations.

    at date of randomization and after one, two and three years of follow-up

  • Analysis of withdrawing asthma medications

    at date of randomization and after one, two and three years of follow-up

  • Analysis of patients with phenotype T2-LOW (IgE less than 75 kU/L, blood eosinophils less than 150 cells/μL, and FeNO less than 20 ppb)

    at date of randomization and after one year of follow-up

  • Analysis of clinical outcomes, pulmonary function tests, biomarkers patients with very low total IgE ( < 10 UI/L)

    at date of randomization and after one year of follow-up

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with asthma (intermittent, mild, moderate or severe asthma according to the GINA classification), with or without nasal polyposis attended third-level hospitals of the Spanish National Health System.

You may qualify if:

  • For the general asthma cohort (MEGA):
  • Age from 18 to 80 y.o. with asthma with and without nasal polyposis based on GINA guidelines (compatible clinical symptoms+reversibility of at least 12% and 200 mL in FEV1 after the administration of 200-400 μg albuterol/salbutamol or positive methacholine test) of several severities attended at participant centres
  • Already in follow-up in MEGA cohort
  • To participate in the study
  • Signed informed consent
  • When planning dupilumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab or reslizumab, biomarker levels, and exacerbation in the previous year will be considered according to the Spanish Ministry of Health recommendations for reimbursement of any biological drug in severe asthma. In the case of Omalizumab allergic asthma and IgE \> 75 and \< 1500 UI
  • Patients already in follow-up in the cohort of patients treated with biologics
  • Willing to participate in the study
  • Sign informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other lung disease that may impair lung function
  • Comorbid disease that might interfere with the evaluation, e.g. psychiatric disorders
  • Patients participating in other clinical trials
  • Patients without the capacity to understand the aim of the study
  • Diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other lung disease that may impair lung function
  • Comorbid disease that might interfere with the evaluation, e.g. psychiatric disorders
  • Patients participating in other clinical trials
  • Patients without the capacity to understand the aim of the study
