Trial summary

The purpose of this protocol is to obtain biologic samples from the blood and lungs from patients with lung diseases in order to study the causes and indications of these disorders, learn how these lung disease manifest and progress, and how the lung disease can be treated.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Recruitment will be from the patients of the Hamad Medical Corporation and others as relevant. The source of potential subjects will be the population of potential subjects with lung disease, as defined by the elegibility criteria, in Qatar. Accrual will be random with no bias as to gender or racial/ethnic group.

Who may be able to join

  • Must provide informed consent
  • Males and females, age 18 years and older
  • Evidence of lung disease by at least one of the following:
  • symptoms consistent with pulmonary disease;
  • chest X-rays and/or chest CT consistent with lung disease;
  • pulmonary function tests consistent with lung disease;
Show all 11Show fewer
  • lung biopsy consistent with lung disease;
  • family history of lung disease;
  • diseases of organs with known association with lung disease; and
  • individuals suspected of having lung disease based on history and/or physical examination
  • Undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy as dictated by their standard clinical care

Who cannot join

  • Patient refuses consent.
  • Patients enrolled in Part A of the protocol will not undergo screening procedures/tests. These patients are undergoing a fiberoptic bronchoscopy as dictated by their standard clinical care and additional samples will be taken for research purposes.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Lungs of Individuals With Lung Disease With Segmental Bronchopulmonary Lung Lavage, Bronchial Brushing, and Bronchial Wall Biopsy (Qatar)

The purpose of this protocol is to obtain biologic samples from the blood and lungs from patients with lung diseases in order to study the causes and indications of these disorders, learn how these lung disease manifest and progress, and how the lung disease can be treated.

Read the detailed description

The lung diseases are disorders associated with functional and/or structural derangements to the alveolar structures, airways, pulmonary blood vessels, pleura and/or mediastinum. The purpose of this protocol is to obtain biologic materials from the blood and lungs from these patients in order to: (1) develop an understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of these disorders; and (2) identify individuals who will be suitable candidates for other protocols such as those involving investigational new drugs. As such, this protocol is part of the "infrastructure" for all of our human lung-related studies such as genomic/gene expression studies of airway epithelium and alveolar macrophages in all individuals with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), asthma, bronchogenic carcinoma, and pulmonary fibrosis compared to normal non-smokers and smokers, and studies of mediators in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

This protocol, to be carried out at Weill Cornell Medical College - Qatar and Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar, parallels a similar approved protocol IRB #0005004440, entitled, "Evaluation of the Lungs of Individuals with Lung Disease with Segmental Bronchopulmonary Lung Lavage, Bronchial Brushing, and Bronchial Wall Biopsy", ongoing at Weill Cornell Medical College - New York.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in Qatar.

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 21 Apr 2015. 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 Qatar. 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.

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 21 Apr 2015.
