Trial summary

Evidences have shown that systemic glucocorticoid cannot not be benefit to all of the patients with AECOPD. The problem that how the clinicians can screen the patients who can benefit from systemic glucocorticoid needs to be solved. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Analysis of Relationship Between Metabolic Biomarkers and Efficacy of Systemic Glucocorticoid in Acute Exacerbation of COPD

Evidences have shown that systemic glucocorticoid cannot not be benefit to all of the patients with AECOPD. The problem that how the clinicians can screen the patients who can benefit from systemic glucocorticoid needs to be solved. Our previous study found that serum metabolites profile in COPD patients differed from that in controls. Therefore, we hypothesized that metabolome changes in patients with AECOPD may be associated with the efficacy of systemic glucocorticoid. In this study, we will utilize ultraperformance liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods for analysis of the metabolites in AECOPD patients and compare the metabolites profiles between patients with systemic glucocorticoid treatment success and treatment failure. We aim to detect the metabolic biomarkers and metabolic pathways which are related to efficacy of systemic glucocorticoid and contribute to the precise treatment of COPD.

Read the detailed description

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) significantly increases the mortality of the patients with COPD. Guidelines have recommended systemic glucocorticoid as regular treatment. Recently, evidences have shown that systemic glucocorticoid cannot not be benefit to all of the patients with AECOPD. Thus the problem that how the clinicians can screen the patients who can benefit from systemic glucocorticoid needs to be solved urgently. A previous study found that plasma metabolome changed significantly after dexamethasone treatment in health participants. Furthermore, inter-person variability was high and remained uninfluenced by treatment, suggesting the potential of metabolomics for predicting the efficacy and side effects of systemic glucocorticoid. Our previous study found that serum metabolites profile in COPD patients differed from that in controls. Therefore, we hypothesized that metabolome changes in patients with AECOPD may be associated with the efficacy of systemic glucocorticoid. In this study, we will utilize ultraperformance liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods for analysis of the metabolites in AECOPD patients and compare the metabolites profiles between patients with systemic glucocorticoid treatment success and treatment failure. We aim to detect the metabolic biomarkers and metabolic pathways which are related to efficacy of systemic glucocorticoid and contribute to the precise treatment of COPD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Peking University Third Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 15 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Serum metabolic biomarkers (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 10 days). 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 15 Jul 2021.
