Hong kong study to reveal Real-World use of asthma biologics
NCT ID NCT06778746
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks back at how biologic drugs are being used to treat severe asthma in Hong Kong. Researchers will review the medical records of 360 adults to see which biologics are prescribed, how well they control asthma, and any side effects. The goal is to understand current practices and improve future treatment.
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 study could provide real-world insights into how well biologics work for severe asthma in Hong Kong, potentially improving treatment guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other populations.

Who is studied
We surveyed all subjects with asthma subjects treated by biologics used in Hong Kong from CDARS or from patient lists drawn from local pharmacies of participating hospitals.
