NCT ID NCT03152669
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aims to collect up to 10 years of electronic medical records and a one-time questionnaire from over 1,100 asthma and COPD patients who previously took part in the Salford Lung Study. The goal is to better understand how these lung diseases progress and how treatments work over the long term. No new drugs or treatments are being tested—this is purely about gathering data to improve scientific knowledge.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a rich dataset to improve understanding of asthma and COPD, potentially guiding better treatments and care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational data collection study, not a treatment trial. It was terminated early, so the full dataset may not be available, limiting conclusions.
