Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 who meet the 2023 GINA diagnostic criteria for asthma and can commit to a two-year follow-up.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe lung diseases, recent surgeries, or other serious uncontrolled conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to establish a standardized asthma cohort of 400 patients in China, collecting baseline data through various diagnostic tests such as lung function tests and chest CT scans. Participants will be followed for at least two years to observe asthma outcomes and identify biomarkers that may predict these outcomes. The study will utilize an electronic data capture system and involve statistical analysis by a specialized work group from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. No investigational drugs will be administered, focusing instead on understanding the mechanisms of asthma pathogenesis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of asthma, potentially identifying biomarkers that help predict patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in establishing asthma cohorts and identifying biomarkers, making this approach both relevant and promising.
