AstraZeneca has recently completed a clinical study titled A Study to Evaluate the Consistency of Oscillometry and Spirometry Test Results in Patients With Confirmed or Suspected Asthma or COPD. The study aimed to assess the reliability of oscillometry and spirometry tests in diagnosing asthma and COPD, conditions affecting millions worldwide. This multi-center study, sponsored by AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd., is significant in potentially improving diagnostic accuracy for these respiratory conditions.
The study tested diagnostic interventions across four groups: suspected asthma, suspected COPD, confirmed asthma, and confirmed COPD, enrolling 200 patients in each category. These diagnostic tests are crucial for confirming or suspecting asthma and COPD, thereby aiding in better patient management.
Designed as an observational study, it followed a case-only model with a prospective time perspective. The study did not involve any allocation or masking, focusing purely on observational data to achieve its primary purpose.
The study began on January 29, 2024, and was completed with the last update submitted on July 8, 2025. These dates are pivotal as they mark the timeline of the study’s execution and data collection phases, essential for stakeholders tracking the study’s progress.
The completion of this study could influence AstraZeneca’s stock performance positively by showcasing their commitment to advancing respiratory diagnostics, a critical area in healthcare. Investors might view this as a strategic move to strengthen their market position amidst competition in the respiratory treatment sector.
The study is now completed, and further details can be accessed on the ClinicalTrials portal.
