Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study is testing whether a smart inhaler cap and mobile app can help adults with poorly controlled asthma use their inhaler correctly and take their medication as prescribed. Sixty participants will use the smart system for one year while continuing their usual asthma treatment. Researchers will track changes in airway inflammation, asthma control, and inhaler technique to see if the technology makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Trimbow pMDI (a single-inhaler triple therapy with an inhaled corticosteroid, a long-acting beta-agonist, and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a smart platform helps people with asthma use their inhaler correctly and stick to their medication, leading to better asthma control and fewer flare-ups.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 60 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. It also relies on people consistently using the app and smart cap, which may not happen in real life.
