Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to establish a national clinical database and biobanks for chronic coughers. Through real-world chronic cough case registry and follow-up studies, we will explore the clinical phenotypes and molecular subtypes of chronic cough.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is currently no national cohort study on chronic cough in China. Preliminary researches indicated heterogeneity in the clinical phenotypes and hypersensitivity associated with chronic cough, highlighting the need to establish a large chronic cough cohort for further study. The completion of this project will provide real-world data for the management of chronic cough patients, contributing to the improvement of prevention, treatment, and management standards. It will also provide Chinese data for further refining cough guidelines. Additionally, by elucidating the phenotypes and molecular subtypes related to chronic cough, this study will be significant for identifying relevant targets to guide new drug development for chronic cough. This multicenter, prospective, observational study will enroll patients with chronic cough in a real-world clinic. Baseline information including demographics, cough characteristics, past treatment history, laboratory test results, initial diagnosis and treatment details will be recorded by using an online registration and follow-up platform. After the baseline data registration, we will conduct annual follow-ups for these patients over a period of two years. The cough prognosis and medication using history will be recorded at every follow-up. Some patients will provide biological samples such as sputum supernatant, serum, etc at baseline and follow-up. The diagnosis and treatment process for these patients is based on clinical practice/guideline standards, without any other interventions.
