Study description

Funded by the European Commission (FP7 Research Program), ASTRO-LAB is a prospective cohort study of persistent asthma patients. ASTRO-LAB aims to provide new information about the safety of inhaled therapy in Asthma, more specifically Long-Acting β2 agonists (LABAs). To reach this objective, 3000 patients aged from 6 to 40 years, will be followed during 2 years in the UK and in France. Three sets of data will be collected : medical data (in the UK: using the THIN data, in France, using data from GPs affiliated to Academia), claims data (for France) and Patient-Reported data. The study will measure the incidence of asthma exacerbations in four different groups: LABAs only, Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICs) only, LABA and ICs in fixed-dose combinations and in distinct inhalers. The study will be also focused on adherence to therapy, to develop new measurement tools and to identify determinants.”
