About this study

Official title: Serum Inflammatory Biomarkers as Predictors of COPD Morbidity and Mortality

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition that is characterized by airway obstruction due to inflammation. Levels of inflammatory proteins may be linked to when and to what extent COPD develops. This study will use data collected during the Tucson Epidemiological Study of Airway Obstructive Disease (TESAOD) and its 33-year follow-up to determine the relationship between inflammatory protein expression and COPD.

Read the detailed description

COPD is a term that encompasses both chronic bronchitis and emphysema, two diseases that are characterized by airway obstruction that interferes with normal breathing. Airway inflammation can stem from exposure to harmful fumes in the air, chronic bacterial infections in the airways, and a genetic predisposition to an inflammatory response to these agents. In people with COPD, the airway inflammation may extend beyond the lungs and contribute to systemic symptoms and, ultimately, to an increased mortality risk. Markers of systemic inflammation have been identified, but the relationship between these markers and when and to what extent COPD develops has not been determined. This study will use data collected during the TESAOD and its 33-year follow-up to determine the relationship between COPD and the expression of various inflammatory proteins, including pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, IL-8, TNF-alpha) and acute phase proteins (e.g., C-reactive protein, soluble CD14).

This study will not recruit any new participants. Detailed respiratory phenotypic information and serum samples that were collected during the TESAOD study will be evaluated in conjunction with newly generated biomarker and protein information. No new phenotypic data or biological specimens will be collected in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. COPD development defined as FEV1/FVC < 70%

    Measured: up to 50 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. COPD progression defined based on decline of lung function

    Measured: up to 50 years

  2. Mortality

    Measured: up to 50 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by University of Arizona 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 1 inclusion and 0 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 6 Dec 2017. 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?

COPD development defined as FEV1/FVC < 70% (time frame: up to 50 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 6 Dec 2017.
