Study summary

This study is an observational multicenter cross-sectional study. Planned study population consists of 5 000 adult patients with uncontrolled SA receiving treatment according to standard of care (except biologics). Planned number of study site is 50 outpatient centers with experience of uncontrolled SA treatment in about 50 regions of Russia (in order to describe characteristics of patients with uncontrolled SA in different regions in the most comprehensive way). This non-interventional study does not imply any intervention into a routine clinical practice, and does not provide for any diagnostic and therapeutic procedures other than those used in routine practice.

Read the detailed description

There are limited epidemiological data of the patients with uncontrolled severe asthma in Russia since there is no unified system for regular monitoring of patients with severe asthma in the country. The systematic information about complications and comorbidities, about the treatment approaches and their effectiveness in the Russian population is also absent.

The observational registry is really important to describe the epidemiological characteristics of the disease and to analyse the clinical characteristics of the various subgroups of patients. This is an excellent starting point to be able to investigate the characteristics of the disease in detail.

The Russian Federation consists of 85 regions with a total population of more than 145 million people. The regions differ in ethnic composition, age, gender, climate, ecology, economic level, prevalence of asthma in general and severe asthma in particular.

Previously reported observational registries are International Severe Asthma Registry (ISAR) and Russian Severe Asthma Registry (RSAR), both studies included patients regardless of whether patients received biological agents or not. The percentage of patients receiving biologics in these studies was 25.4% and 10.6% respectively.

Thus, there is a need to perform a large-scale observational registry in regions of the country with a sufficient size of population to obtain information on SA epidemiology, clinical and demographic characteristics, to describe main clinical outcomes and evaluate existing associations between observed treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in real clinical practice in patients with uncontrolled SA not receiving biologic therapy.

Trial will have cross-sectional design and will include 1 visit for obtaining the patient's demographic and clinical data. To allow wide data coverage the study will involve at least 50 regions of Russian Federation; in each region 100 patients will be recruited. The total size of study population will be 5 000 patients.

Study population

5 000 adult patients with confirmed diagnosis of uncontrolled SA who receive medical treatment (excluding biological therapy) and are monitored and treated by pulmonologists or allergologists in approximately 50 clinical centers in about 50 regions of Russia

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of inclusion;
  2. Signed and dated written in accordance with ICH GCP and local law prior to inclusion in the study;
  3. Patients with diagnosis of uncontrolled SA (Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) score > 1,5) established no less than 52 weeks prior to inclusion; Severe asthma is defined as asthma, that is controlled due to treatment with ICS in medium or high doses plus LABA and/or ALP, and/or LAMA, and/or systemic (sCS), and/or immunobiological therapy, while attempts to reduce the volume of therapy lead to a loss of symptom control, or asthma remains uncontrolled despite this treatment. Such therapy should be carried out at least 3 months before inclusion.

    Uncontrolled asthma is defined as ACQ-5>1.5.

  4. Patients with the availability of at least 52 weeks of follow-up data (prior to inclusion) in the medical records.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients receiving any biological therapy currently or within 52 weeks prior to inclusion;
  2. Presence of (COPD) or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (ILF) currently or in the anamnesis;
  3. The participation in any clinical study currently or within 52 weeks prior to inclusion;
  4. An acute or chronic disease that, as deemed by Investigator, limits the ability of patients to participate in this study or could influence the interpretation of the results.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 36 months after the start.

Of 90 industry-sponsored observational studies under Asthma, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 58. This study's planned 36 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 454 studies reached it within 36 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 82.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
