About this study

Official title: Evaluation of SERPINA1 Gene Polymorphisms in COPD as a Risk Factor for Periodontitis

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and periodontitis are chronic inflammatory diseases. The study aims to determine if the genetic polymorphism of SERPINA1 gene in patients with COPD serve as a risk factor for developing periodontitis.

Read the detailed description

periodontitis is a polymicrobial inflammatory disease caused by various modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. the non-modifiable risk factors include genetic polymorphisms like the gene coding for alpha-1-antitrypsinase

COPD is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by deterioration of lung function due to loss of elasticity of the lungs.

SERPINA1 gene product has a protective role on the connective tissue components of both lungs and gums.

Hence, this study tries to determine if the gene polymorphism in COPD serves as a risk factor for developing periodontitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive and Generalized Chronic Periodontitis, run by Panineeya Mahavidyalaya Institute of Dental Sciences & Research Centre at 1 site in India.

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 2 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 Aug 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 India. 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 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?

SERPINA1 gene polymorphism (time frame: 9 months). 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 NCT02498938, which also lists 2 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 Aug 2016.
