Trial summary

Current guideline-based criteria defining COPD do not meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of the disease. Hyperinflation and affection of the small airways are two components that are not represented in current diagnostic concepts and may relate to early stages of the disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Current guideline-based criteria defining COPD do not meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of the disease. Hyperinflation and affection of the small airways are two components that are not represented in current diagnostic concepts and may relate to early stages of the disease. Moreover, optimal therapeutic interventions in patients with these distinct features remain unclear. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and initiating therapeutic strategies in early stage COPD within the GOLD recommendations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD, run by Universitätsmedizin Mannheim at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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 31 Mar 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

residual volume (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Mar 2020.
