About this study

Official title: Serum, Plasma, DNA and Tissue Bank of Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Lung Cancer and Smoking Controls.

A biobank of Serum, plasma, DNA samples together with clinical information including specific questionnaires, complete pulmonary function and chest CT-scan, is prospectively collected in patients seen at the investigators' clinical service.

The objective is to study candidate gene pathways in COPD and or lung cancer and to associate them with the clinical characteristics and phenotypes of COPD/emphysema and lung cancer.

In subgroups of well characterised patients, other biological materials are also collected (lung tissue biopsies, peripheral blood mononuclear cells).

Read the detailed description

All patients with a smoking history of at least 15 pack years, an minimal age of 50 years and an recent available CT scan are enrolled.

All subjects with a diagnosis of lung cancer are also collected (irrespective of age and smoking behavior).

In addition the investigators collect:

  • specific questionnaires (MRC, CCQ and smoking history)
  • medical and professional history
  • complete pulmonary function (spirometry, bodyplethysmography and diffusing capacity)
  • serum, plasma and DNA samples.

In specific subgroups the investigators also collect:

  • Peripheral blood mononuclear cells
  • Lung tissue - if available - from a surgical procedure (lung transplantation or lobectomy)

What is being measured

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

  1. Serological, cytological, histological and genetic analysis of biomarkers or genes which are involved in the pathogenesis of COPD/Emphysema/Lungcancer.

    All cases are prospectively collected in University hospital Leuven, Belgium. Of enrolled subjects data are collected at 0,1,3 and 6 years interval

    Measured: 0-1-3-6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Lung Cancer, run by KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 4 Sep 2013. 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 Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wim Janssens, MD. PhD. (032 (16) 34 68 00, wim.janssens@uz.kuleuven.ac.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serological, cytological, histological and genetic analysis of biomarkers or genes which are involved in the pathogenesis of COPD/Emphysema/Lungcancer. (time frame: 0-1-3-6 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 4 Sep 2013.
