Trial summary

The purpose of this research study is to collect cells and liquid from the air passages of healthy adults, both smokers and non-smokers. These samples will be used for test-tube studies to explore mechanisms of diseases of the respiratory tract, and to compare the samples between people who smoke cigarettes and people… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Bronchoscopy-Assisted Sampling of Cells and Fluid From the Lower Respiratory Tract of Human Subjects

The purpose of this research study is to collect cells and liquid from the air passages of healthy adults, both smokers and non-smokers. These samples will be used for test-tube studies to explore mechanisms of diseases of the respiratory tract, and to compare the samples between people who smoke cigarettes and people who don't. Obtaining these samples requires an invasive procedure called "bronchoscopy".

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The goal of this project is to define the effect of smoking on key aspects of airway biology. These studies will also provide crucial & novel definition of airway biology in smokers against which COPD & CF patients will be compared.

    Measured: At the time of bronchoscopy

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?

The goal of this project is to define the effect of smoking on key aspects of airway biology. These studies will also provide crucial & novel definition of airway biology in smokers against which COPD & CF patients will be compared. (time frame: At the time of bronchoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Sep 2013.
