About this study
Official title: Exercise and Disability in COPD Patients
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and difficulty exercising. Increasing exercise and physical activity may relieve the symptoms of COPD and may also slow the progression of the disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a lifestyle activity program versus a traditional exercise program at increasing the amount of physical activity among individuals with COPD.
Read the detailed description
COPD is a disease in which the lung airways are partly damaged and obstructed, making it difficult to breathe. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of COPD; however, breathing in other types of lung irritants, including pollution, dust, and chemicals, over a long period of time may also cause or contribute to COPD. The primary symptoms of COPD, exercise intolerance and shortness of breath, often result in physical activity limitations, which may lead to a decreased quality of life. While COPD is a chronic, incurable disease, individuals who incorporate exercise and physical activity into their daily lifestyle may reduce the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of an overall lifestyle activity program versus a traditional exercise program on physical activity in individuals with COPD. The study will also evaluate the impact of the two programs on exercise capacity, physical function, self-reported disability, and health-related quality of life.
Participants with COPD will be randomly assigned to either an 11-month lifestyle activity program or a traditional 3-month exercise program. The lifestyle activity program will consist of 35 exercise and counseling sessions spaced over 11 months. This program will use cognitive-behavioral strategies to encourage physical activity at home. Participants will receive information on how to deal with COPD symptoms (including shortness of breath), goal-setting, social support, and motivation. Participants will also receive follow-up telephone calls from the program staff for additional support. The 3-month exercise program will consist of 36 1-hour exercise training sessions, conducted 3 times a week for 12 weeks.
All participants will attend 4 baseline study visits at which their medical history will be reviewed and standardized questionnaires will be completed to assess mood, depression, social factors, COPD symptoms, and physical activity levels. Participants will undergo a physical examination; a blood draw for laboratory testing; and spirometry, lung function, exercise, and strength tests. These measures will be assessed again at 3, 6, and 12 months; the 3- and 12-month assessments will occur over four study visits, and the 6-month assessment will occur over two study visits.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Lifestyle Activity Program and Exercise Program in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive and Lung Diseases, Obstructive, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Amount of time engaged in moderate physical activity each week (time frame: Measured at Year 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00328484, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jul 2016.
