Tight Glycemic Control in Acute Exacerbations of COPD

A study testing tight insulin treatment in patients hospitalized with COPD exacerbation in people with COPD and Hyperglycemia, run by Soroka University Medical Center.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

About this study

Glucose control has been shown as an important and independent prognostic factor in several acute conditions in hospitalized patients, including Acute MI, stroke, cardiac surgery and in critical care units.

Patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD)and diabetes treated with insulin had a longer in-patient stay and more frequent isolation of Gram negative bacteria from sputum than those without diabetes.Hyperglycemia (>11 mmol/l) on admission predicted failure of non-invasive ventilation and infectious pulmonary complications in patients admitted to the ICU with acute respiratory failure caused by severe AECOPD.

The primary goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that in AECOPD, tight glycemic control during hospital stay will improve outcome of hospitalization.

The secondary goal of this study is to test new ways in controlling patients in the internal medicine ward.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tight insulin treatment in patients hospitalized with COPD exacerbation in people with COPD and Hyperglycemia, run by Soroka University Medical Center.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2012. 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?

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?

mortality (time frame: one year). 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 26 Jun 2012.
