About this study

Official title: The Comparison of Electronic Auscultation Coupled With Computer Aided Lung Sound Analysis (CALSA) and Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) and Repeatability of FRI Biomarkers in Healthy Subjects and Asthma Patients

CALSA will be compared with FRI and the repeatability of the FRI parameters will be tested in a group of healthy volunteers and asthma patients.

Read the detailed description

his is a study with no investigational product. CALSA will be compared with FRI and the repeatability of the FRI parameters will be tested in a group of healthy volunteers and asthma patients.

Electronic auscultation of respiratory sounds will be performed, lung function tests (at maximal dilatation) will be executed and computed tomography (CT) scans of the thorax will be taken. The scans will be taken at two different breathing levels, more specifically at total lung capacity (TLC) and functional residual capacity (FRC) level. The scans will be taken while the patient/ volunteer lies down on the movable table of the CT-scan. After the scan is taken it will be asked to the patient/ volunteer to sit upright on the scanning table and to lie down again. When the patient/ volunteer lies down a second CT-scan (TLC and FRC) will be taken.

The objective of this study is to compare CALSA with FRI and to assess the repeatability of FRI biomarkers

What is being measured

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

  1. CALSA

    The primary objective of this study is to compare CALSA with FRI. The respiratory sounds recordings are performed with a digital stethoscope and connected to the sound card of a laptop with commercial software, suitable for data acquisition. The respiratory sounds recordings are conducted in accordance with the Computerized Respiratory Sound Analysis guidelines (CORSA) for short-term acquisition. Subjects are asked to breathe through the mouth in a sitting position (tidal breathing) during the recordings. Three sets of recordings are made for 7 - 10 respiratory cycles with a maximum duration of 25 seconds.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Total Airway Volume (iVaw)

    The secondary objective is to check the repeatability of the FRI parameters

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Total Airway Resistance (iRaw)

    The secondary objective is to check the repeatability of the FRI parameters.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Internal Airway Distribution

    The secondary objective is to check the repeatability of the FRI parameters

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Lobar Volume

    The secondary objective is to check the repeatability of the FRI parameters

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CT-scan in people with Asthma, run by FLUIDDA nv at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 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 Belgium. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

CALSA (time frame: 1 day). 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 3 Feb 2016.
