Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to obtain young white blood cells (monocytes) from the investigators donated blood for research into how these cells change into large, mature white blood cells (macrophages) and how smoking causes Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

About this study

The purpose of this study is to obtain young white blood cells (monocytes) from the investigators donated blood for research into how these cells change into large, mature white blood cells (macrophages) and how smoking causes Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Read the detailed description

Our research goal is to identify new targets and strategies to help care for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is a chronic airway inflammatory disorder characterized by a progressive loss of pulmonary function. Mononuclear phagocytes are known to be critically involved in both repair/remodeling and destructive events in COPD. Although smoking is the chief environmental risk factor for COPD, the molecular details responsible for the genesis and progression of smoking-mediated COPD require further investigation. In searching for new knowledge and research strategies for this challenging topic, we have made substantial progress in mononuclear phagocyte proteomics and laid the groundwork for this translational research of COPD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD, run by Ohio State 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 1 Nov 2021. 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?

to define AM's pathogenic pathways underlying the development of COPD (time frame: end of study). 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 1 Nov 2021.
