About this study

Official title: E-nose Utility in the Diagnosis of Bacterial Infection in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Hypothesis: A commercial e-nose (Cyranose 320) is able to detect specific breathprints from patients with COPD and bacterial infection

Read the detailed description

Thirty to 50% of COPD patients have airway colonization with potentially pathogenic bacteria. This is associated with worse prognosis. Currently, diagnosis of bacterial colonization relies mainly upon quantitative sputum culture. However, this method lacks good sensitivity. The electronic nose is a novel device made up of nanosensors capable of detecting specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs). OBJECTIVES: Main 1) To assess the usefulness of the electronic nose in the diagnosis of bacterial colonization in COPD. Secondary 1) To define the VOCs pattern associated with bacterial colonization. 2) To study the pattern of pulmonary and systemic inflammation associated with bacterial colonization as well its relationship with the aforementioned VOCs patterns.

What is being measured

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

  1. Breathprint in exhaled breath from patients with COPD

    Breathprints will be assessed by discriminant analysis on principal component reduction, resulting in cross-validated accuracy values

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Breathprint in exhaled breath from COPD patients with bacterial colonization

    Breathprints will be assessed by discriminant analysis on principal component reduction, resulting in cross-validated accuracy values

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 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 Spain. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Breathprint in exhaled breath from patients with COPD (time frame: Day 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 NCT01976117, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Sep 2016.
