The LASER trial will evaluate the effectiveness of a new treatment

It is hoped that the LASER Trial will demonstrate a reduction in the frequency of asthma attacks,
improving patients quality of life. A breath of fresh air in Asthma!

Can TLA reduce asthma attacks?

Asthma affects over 5 million people in the UK. Half a million of these have a severe form of the condition. Potentially life threatening attacks, known as exacerbations, are a frequent occurrence. Current treatment options to reduce the frequency of these exacerbations are limited.

Trial will include 222 adults

The LASER trial will evaluate the effectiveness of a new treatment – Temperature Controlled Laminar Airflow (TLA.) TLA is delivered by an Airsonett® machine. The machine is used overnight in the patient’s home at the bedside. The machine filters allergy particles from the air overnight, allowing patients to sleep and ‘rest’ their lungs.

Can patients quality of life be improved?

222 participants will be invited to take part in the trial. 111 will receive an active TLA device and 111 will receive a placebo device which has been de-activated. Participants will be seen over a 12 month period to assess their asthma control and quality of life. Asthma attacks during the 12 month period will be reported to the trial team to see if the active treatment device is more effective at reducing the frequency of these attacks when compared to the placebo device.  — Dr. Will Storrar
