About this study

Official title: Collection of Blood for Gene Expression/Genomic Studies in Individuals With Chronic Lung Disease

This is a research study where researchers are collecting blood to evaluate the genetic characteristics of individuals with chronic lung diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hope to be able to identify an association between a genetic make-up in the blood samples and the risks of developing a particular lung disease, or severity of a lung disease. The findings of this study might be important to develop future preventative methods and potential treatments for the management of lung disease. The investigators aim to collect blood samples from 300 people with lung disease and 300 controls over 5 years.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00362739
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1: Lung DiseaseIndividuals with at least one of the following: (1)symptoms consistent with pulmonary disease; (2) chest X-ray consistent with lung disease; (3) pulmonary function tests consistent with lung disease; (4) lung biopsy consistent with lung disease; (5) family history of lung disease; (6) patients with diseases of organs with known association with lung disease; (7) individuals suspected of history of lung diseased based on history and/or physical examination
2: Normal ControlsIndividuals without a history of lung disease

What is being measured

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

  1. Establish a set of normal ranges for various parameters in healthy individual specimens and compare to specimens from individuals with lung disease to determine parameters resulting in disease susceptibility and severity.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Asthma and COPD, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in United States.

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 11 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 29 Apr 2016. 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 States. 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?

Establish a set of normal ranges for various parameters in healthy individual specimens and compare to specimens from individuals with lung disease to determine parameters resulting in disease susceptibility and severity. (time frame: 5 years). 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 29 Apr 2016.
