Asthma and COVID: study pulled before it even started
NCT ID NCT05064501
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if COVID-19 makes asthma worse or harder to control. Researchers planned to compare asthma patients who had COVID-19 with those who did not, tracking lung function and symptoms for a year. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients between the ages of 12 and 80 diagnosed with asthma according to current guidelines (GEMA/GINA), of any level of severity, will be recruited and followed up in Pneumology consultations at participating hospitals. The study cohort would be patients with these criteria who have needed to consult the Emergency Department or be admitted for COVID19 (suggestive symptomatology + CRP and/or positive serology) in the six months prior to the visit. The control group would be a cohort of asthmatic patients matched by age, severity and sex, who have not suffered COVID19 or compatible symptoms.
