About this study

Official title: The Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory Markers, and Metabolomics Response to Exercise in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The effect of different physical exercise protocols on inflammatory markers, antioxidant balance, and metabolomics has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the responses of oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, and metabolomics to exercise.

Read the detailed description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality, is a preventable and curable disease characterized by irreversible airflow limitation. The progressive lung involvement, systemic inflammation, respiratory and peripheral muscle dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, and the dysfunction of the remaining muscles occur in COPD. Muscle dysfunction, which is defined as loss of strength or loss of endurance characteristics in muscles, is a comorbidity associated with poor outcomes such as frequent hospitalization and decreased survival, as well as adversely affecting exercise capacity and quality of life. Exercise increases mitochondrial activity and requires antioxidant defense to achieve cellular redox regulation. The effect of different physical exercise protocols on inflammatory markers, antioxidant balance, and metabolomics has not been fully elucidated. Oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, and metabolic responses to different acute exercise modalities in COPD patients need to be examined and clarified. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the responses of oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, and metabolomics to exercise. Detection of biomolecules that change with acute exercise may also contribute to the identification of exercise-related pathways.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response of total work values to maximal exercise test, high intensity interval and continuous exercise

    Peak work rates will be determined using cycle ergometer. Maximal exercise test will be performed on the first day, high intensity interval and continuous exercise will be performed with one week intervals.

    Measured: Change from baseline to after maximal exercise test, high intensity interval, and continuous exercise, up to 3 weeks.

  2. The inflammatory markers response to maximal exercise test, high intensity interval and continuous exercise

    Blood samples will be collected before and after exercise and analyzed for the responses of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, sTNFr1. Maximal exercise test will be performed on the first day, high intensity interval and continuous exercise will be performed with one week intervals.

    Measured: Change from baseline to after maximal exercise test, high intensity interval, and continuous exercise, up to 3 weeks.

  3. The oxidative response to maximal exercise test, high intensity interval and continuous exercise

    Blood samples will be collected before and after exercise and analyzed for the responses of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and total antioxidant status. Maximal exercise test will be performed on the first day, high intensity interval and continuous exercise will be performed with one week intervals.

    Measured: Change from baseline to after maximal exercise test, high intensity interval, and continuous exercise, up to 3 weeks.

  4. The metabolomics response (valine-leucine-isoleucine, alanine) to maximal exercise test, high intensity interval, and continuous exercise.

    Blood samples will be collected before and after exercise and analyzed for identification of metabolomics which change with exercise. Maximal exercise test will be performed on the first day, high intensity interval and continuous exercise will be performed with one week intervals.

    Measured: Change from baseline to after maximal exercise test, high intensity interval, and continuous exercise, up to 3 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 13 Jan 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Response of total work values to maximal exercise test, high intensity interval and continuous exercise (time frame: Change from baseline to after maximal exercise test, high intensity interval, and continuous exercise, up to 3 weeks.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04117412, 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 13 Jan 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
