SYNEXUS CURRENTLY RECRUITING PATIENTS WITH ASTHMA IN MERSEYSIDE

A recruitment and clinical studies company, Synexus, who have a dedicated research Centre, on Merseyside, are currently recruiting adults and children (over the age of 12), with asthma to take part in a study assessing whether there is a better way to treat asthma.

Asthma is a long-term condition that can cause a cough, wheezing and breathlessness due to inflammation of the airways. In the UK, 5.4 million people are currently receiving treatment for asthma; that's 1 in every 12 adults and 1 in every 11 children.

While there is no cure for asthma there are a number of treatments that can help control the condition. Research studies are carried out to find treatments which may reduce the severity of asthma and provide improved medications for everyday use to control and treat the symptoms.

The study that Synexus is running may be suitable for:-

1. Adults and children (aged 12 and over) who have asthma of any severity (e.g., mild, moderate or severe);

2. Adults and children (aged 12 and over) who have had an acute asthma attack in the last year which has led to the need for oral steroids or a trip to hospital;

Those who would like to find out more or are interested in participating in this study should contact the Synexus Clinical Research Centre in Merseyside, on:- 0151 550 9951 and quote reference code:- 10334.

There is no obligation for people to participate and if they do decide to take part, their GP will be kept fully informed of their involvement. Patients will be reimbursed for their time and all reasonable out of pocket expenses if they are accepted onto the study.

Synexus has many years experience in conducting a wide range of clinical studies. Each year, thousands of patients take part in clinical studies at Synexus' Dedicated Clinical Research Centres. There are many different studies running at each of the Centres throughout the year including potential treatments for conditions such as osteoporosis, raised cholesterol, eczema, diabetes and osteoarthritis of the knee.

Participating in a Synexus clinical study means patients receive increased medical attention and may benefit from medications that aren't yet available to other sufferers of their condition, while making a positive contribution to the health of future generations.
