About this study

Official title: Bufei Recipe Reduces the Incidence Rate of COPD: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Study

Establish early TCM prevention and treatment program to reduce the incidence rate of COPD.

Read the detailed description

Taking PRISM patients with impaired lung function at the early stage of COPD retention ratio as the research object, and aiming at the key problems such as the lack of prevention and treatment plan, a two-year randomized double-blind placebo controlled clinical study of Bufei Fang was carried out to establish the early stage TCM prevention and treatment plan to reduce the incidence rate of COPD.

Being tested
Bufei Recipe, Bufei Recipe placebo
Keywords
Bufei Recipe, PRISm, incidence rate

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bufei RecipeDrug

    Bufei Recipe: Roasted Astragalus, Codonopsis pilosula, Walnut kernels, Sichuan Fritillaria, Angelica sinensis, Stir fried Purple Su Zi, Honey Baibu, Roasted Purple Aster, etc. Take 1 dose daily, 5 days a week.

  • Bufei Recipe placeboDrug

    The placebo was prepared using 5% of the drug, with color, odor, taste, appearance, and weight similar to the experimental group drug, and packaging consistent with the experimental group drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence rate of COPD

    Incidence rate of COPD

    Measured: Change from baseline in the number of people with COPD at month 24.

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. FVC

    Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) was mainly used for lung function evaluation

    Measured: Change from baseline in FVC at months 12 and 24.

  2. FEV1

    Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) was mainly used for lung function evaluation

    Measured: Change from baseline in FEV1 at months 12 and 24.

  3. FEV1% pred

    Percentage of Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second to Predicted Value (FEV1% pred) was mainly used for lung function evaluation

    Measured: Change from baseline in FEV1% pred at months 12 and 24.

  4. FEV1/FVC

    Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second / Forced Vital Capacity (FEV1/FVC) was mainly used for lung function evaluation

    Measured: Change from baseline in FEV1/FVC at months 12 and 24.

  5. IPAG-Q

    International Primary Airway Health Organization Questionnaire (IPAG-Q) was mainly used for chronic obstructive pulmonary screening score evaluation.

    Measured: Change from baseline in IPAG-Q score at months 6, 12, 18, and 24.

  6. LFQ

    Lung Function Questionnaire (LFQ) was mainly used for chronic obstructive pulmonary screening score evaluation.

    Measured: Change from baseline in LFQ score at months 6, 12, 18, and 24.

  7. COPD-PS

    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Population Screening Questionnaire (COPD-PS) was mainly used for chronic obstructive pulmonary screening score evaluation.

    Measured: Change from baseline in COPD-PS score at months 6, 12, 18, and 24.

  8. CAT

    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment (CAT) was mainly used for quality of life evaluation.

    Measured: Change from baseline in CAT score at months 6, 12, 18, and 24.

  9. SF-36

    Health Survey Brief (SF-36) was mainly used for quality of life evaluation.

    Measured: Change from baseline in SF-36 score at months 6, 12, 18, and 24.

  10. Clinical symptoms

    The assessment will be done through a clinical symptom assessment questionnaire. Clinical symptoms assessed in this study include cough, sputum, wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, malaise and cyanosis. Each symptom or sign will receive a score of 0-3, with higher scores indicating greater severity of the condition.

    Measured: Change from baseline in clinical symptom assessment questionnaire score at months 6, 12, 18, and 24.

  11. Biochemical indicators

    Serum levels of TNF- α, IL-1, IL-6, immunoglobulin and renal connexin, prolyl peptidase, heme oxygenase-1, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and angiotensin-converting enzyme were measured. All indicators were measured in ng/ml.

    Measured: Change from baseline in biochemical indicators at month 12 and 24.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bufei Recipe in people with Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry, run by Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

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 12 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2024. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact yang xie (0371-66248624, xieyanhn@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence rate of COPD (time frame: Change from baseline in the number of people with COPD at month 24.). 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 19 Apr 2024.
