The QUARTZ study is a retrospective observational cohort study using a prevalent new-user design and U.S. healthcare claims data to evaluate treatment effectiveness among patients with asthma. The study compares the real-world effectiveness of switching from albuterol-only rescue therapy to albuterol/budesonide versus adding low-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) or leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) while continuing albuterol. The primary objective is to assess the comparative effectiveness of these treatment strategies in reducing severe asthma exacerbations in routine clinical practice in the United States.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
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.
Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Patients who switch from albuterol to Airsupra (albuterol/budesonide) as their rescue therapy.
Other: None (observational study)
Patients who add low-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) to their ongoing albuterol rescue regimen.
Other: None (observational study)
Patients who add leukotriene modifiers (LTRA) to their ongoing albuterol rescue regimen.
Other: None (observational study)
Not applicable since it's an observational study. There are three study cohorts: 1) Airsupra cohort 2)Albuterol and low-dose ICS comparator cohort and 3) Albuterol and LTRA comparator cohort.
Also known as: Observational study
Severe exacerbations during follow-up: annualized asthma exacerbation rates (AAER) by cohort, overall and by setting (IP, ED/urgent care, outpatient); plus absolute rates and rate ratios comparing Airsupra with each comparator cohort
To describe and compare the occurrence of severe exacerbations observed among the Airsupra cohort and each comparator cohort.
Time frame: Follow-up starts the day after index and ends at the earliest of death, data end, insurance disenrollment, loss to follow-up, or switch to the alternative rescue treatment, up to 36 months; add-on maintenance therapy does not censor follow-up.
Time to first severe exacerbation: KM curves, median time by arm (if estimable), and Cox PH HRs comparing Airsupra with each comparator. Also, the proportion with at least 1 severe exacerbation at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment initiation.
To describe and compare the time to first severe exacerbation among the Airsupra cohort and each comparator cohort.
Time frame: Follow-up period for each patient starts the day after the index date and ends at the earliest date of death, end of data, end of insurance enrollment, loss to follow up, or switch to the alternative rescue treatment up to 36 months
Cumulative inhaled corticosteroid exposure (beclomethasone equivalent µg/year)
To describe exposure to corticosteroid treatments among the Airsupra cohort and each comparator cohort
Time frame: Follow-up period for each patient starts the day after the index date and ends at the earliest date of death, end of data, end of insurance enrollment, loss to follow up, or switch to the alternative rescue treatment up to 36 months
Cumulative systemic corticosteroid exposure (prednisone equivalent mg/year)
To describe exposure to corticosteroid treatments among the Airsupra cohort and each comparator cohort
Time frame: Follow-up period for each patient starts the day after the index date and ends at the earliest date of death, end of data, end of insurance enrollment, loss to follow up, or switch to the alternative rescue treatment up to 36 months
Total SCS exposure days
To describe exposure to corticosteroid treatments among the Airsupra cohort and each comparator cohort
Time frame: Follow-up period for each patient starts the day after the index date and ends at the earliest date of death, end of data, end of insurance enrollment, loss to follow up, or switch to the alternative rescue treatment up to 36 months
SCS burst rates
To describe exposure to corticosteroid treatments among the Airsupra cohort and each comparator cohort
Time frame: Follow-up period for each patient starts the day after the index date and ends at the earliest date of death, end of data, end of insurance enrollment, loss to follow up, or switch to the alternative rescue treatment up to 36 months
Follow-up HCRU rates by arm: all-cause, asthma-related, and exacerbation-related use, including IP admissions, ED/urgent care, primary care, specialist outpatient visits, plus chest X-rays, oxygen treatment, and spirometry.
To describe healthcare resource use (HCRU) among the Airsupra cohort and each comparator cohort.
Time frame: Follow-up period for each patient starts the day after the index date and ends at the earliest date of death, end of data, end of insurance enrollment, loss to follow up, or switch to the alternative rescue treatment up to 36 months.
