The purpose of this study is to determine if subjects with symptomatic asthma who are assigned to treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug such as Nexium have fewer asthma attacks than similar subjects assigned to placebo treatment.
NCT01013948
This is a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of symptomatic airway obstruction using the LFQ as a screening tool in primary care patients with a history of cigarette smoking and to provide descriptive data of this patient population. The study design is multicenter, cross-sectional, and involves a single visit. This study is not intended to evaluate the efficacy or safety of any investigational products. Following completion of written informed consent, eligible study subjects will complete a single study visit encompassing all required study assessments. Study subjects will not receive blinded study medication for evaluations of efficacy and safety. All eligible patients will complete a self-administered Web survey that will include the LFQ. To meet both the primary and secondary aims, all patients with LFQ ≤ 18 (current cut-off for obstruction), as well as 5% of patients who score \> 18, will be candidates for spirometric assessment. Only this subset of patients will undergo pulmonary function tests. Albuterol will be self-administered for determination of post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one-second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio and post-bronchodilator FEV1 percentage of predicted normal. The study will end when 800 patients have been assessed spirometrically or 3,000 patients have completed the LFQ (whichever criterion is achieved first). Prior to implementation of the full study, a pilot study will be conducted at two of the chosen study sites to pretest the proposed study procedures.
