Feasibility of a Smartphone Application for Asthma Self-management
NCT05572177 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The primary goal of this project is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and adherence of a smartphone application for improving asthma self-management in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). The app is specifically designed to appeal to adolescents. Adolescents with persistent asthma will be randomized to receive: 1) standard-of-care or 2) the self-management app in addition to standard-of-care. Feasibility will be assessed by the ability to recruit and retain subjects, technical barriers to implementation, and the appropriateness of the intervention among adolescents and providers. The acceptability of the intervention will be determined by appraising perceived usefulness, entertainment, and ease of use of the app. Adherence to usage of the app over a 6-month period will be assessed by examining the frequency of app usage and the features that were used, and the extent of data regarding self-management that was entered. A secondary objective is to obtain preliminary estimates of effectiveness of the app on clinical outcomes (ACT score, spirometry, CHSA-C, exacerbations, and medication adherence) relative to standard-of-care. It is hypothesized that the app will result in a high level of adherence and will be a feasible and acceptable intervention to improve self-management among adolescents with persistent asthma.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05572177
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05572177 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of South Florida, which has 144 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Asthma Chronic appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Asthma SMART is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05572177 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
