About this study

Official title: Assessment of Ventilation-perfusion Abnormalities in Patients With Smoking-related Airways Disease in Stable Condition and the Effect of Bronchodilator Therapy

Subjects undergo history, examination, lung function assessment after informed consent has been obtained. All subjects will undergo ventilation-perfusion scans. If there first scan is normal they will undergo a second and final scan four weeks later. If abnormal they will undergo two further scans with either nebulized bronchodilator or nebulized saline prior to their second and third scans. Each time they will have repeat lung function tests prior to scanning. We will examine the regional changes in ventilation and perfusion and there relationship to lung function.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing salbutamol + ipratropium bromide nebules and nebulized saline in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2013. 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 United Kingdom. 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. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of resources research fellow left). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

scan grade (time frame: post scan). 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 24 Sep 2013.
