About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Tiotropium to Maintain Inspiratory Capacity Against Metronome Paced Hyperventilation Induced Dynamic Hyperinflation in COPD Patients With Lung CT Scored Emphysema

To evaluate if tiotropium (Spiriva)induced bronchodilation of inspiratory capacity in patients with moderate to severe copd subjected to metronome paced hyperventilation induced dynamic hyperinflation is dependent upon the extent of underlying emphysema as determined by high resolution-thin section CT lung.

Read the detailed description

We will analyze post hoc, data that was previously published: Gelb AF et al.Chest 2006;131:690-695. We have shown that tiotropium increases resting inspiratory capacity thereby providing lung volume protection against metronome paced hyperventilation induced dynamic hyperinflation. End point will be to correlate increase in tiotropium induced FEV 1(L) and inspiratory capacity with extent of underlying emphysema as scored by lung CT ( Gelb AF et al:Chest 1996; 109: 353-359)in 29 patients with COPD. We will also correlate the decrease in inspiratory capacity following metronome paced hyperventilation induced dynamic hyperinflation with extent of lung CT scored emphysema.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlate tiotropium induced increase in inspiratory capacity (IC)and FEV 1 with extent of emphysema as scored by lung CT.

    Measured: After 30 days and 1.5hr of tiotropium

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlate decrease in IC and FEV 1 following dynamic hyperinflation with underlying emphysema.

    Measured: After 30 days and 1.5hr of tiotropium

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD and Emphysema, run by Gelb, Arthur F., M.D. 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 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 14 Aug 2008. 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?

Correlate tiotropium induced increase in inspiratory capacity (IC)and FEV 1 with extent of emphysema as scored by lung CT. (time frame: After 30 days and 1.5hr of tiotropium). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00570544, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Aug 2008.
