About this study

Official title: Prevalencia, Factores de Riesgo y características patogénicas Diferenciales de EPOC y Enfisema en Pacientes Con infección VIH.

The prevalence of COPD in HIV+ and AIDS patients is unknown. The pathophysiology of HIV infection and COPD might be of interest to both conditions. The research hypotheses of this study are:

In patients with HIV infection living in the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands (CAIB):

  1. The Prevalence of airflow obstruction in patients with HIV infection is higher than in the general population.
  2. In these patients, the prevalence of emphysema detected by HRCT is common (greater than or equal to 15%)
  3. DLCO measurement is a good marker for the presence of emphysema on CT
  4. The inflammatory response is different from that seen in patients with COPD and / or emphysema without HIV infection
Read the detailed description

Objectives

Main objective To determine the prevalence of COPD

Secondary objectives

  1. To determine the prevalence (and severity) of emphysema (HRCT)
  2. To Identify risk factors associated with the development of COPD and / or emphysema
  3. To analyze the predictive value of measuring DLCO as a marker of emphysema by HRCT
  4. To determine the prevalence of lung function abnormalities deeming specific drug treatment (bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids) in the absence of clinical symptoms
  5. To compare the pattern of inflammatory response in patients with COPD and / or emphysema, with and without HIV infection

Methodology:

Cross-sectional, descriptive, study of up to 350 patients with HIV infection.

All the patients will be be assessed with:

  1. an standardized clinical questionnaire
  2. full lung function tests
  3. high resolution CT scan
  4. induced sputum for bacterial culture, P. jiroveci, proinflamatory citokines (cytokines array)
  5. blood analysis: hemogram; basic biochemistry; HIV predictors; autoantibodies; proinflammatory citokines (ultrasensitive ELISA); C reactive protein (ultrasensitive nephelometry)
  6. exhaled gases (NO and CO)

Statistical analysis:

Description of the univariate distribution of the categorical or ordinal variables will be realized with a table of frequencies, and in quantitative variables by means of measures of central tendency (mean or median) and dispersion (standard deviation or 95 % confidence intervals). Depending on the normality of the distribution of variables, any comparisons will be assessed by means of parametric tests (T test; Chi2) or non parametric tests (Mann Whitney). To explore relationships between the variables of study, Kolgomorov-Smirnov for the comparison of groups and analysis of regression bivariate, and multivariate (logistic regression), will be conducted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections and COPD, run by Cimera at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 10 Jun 2011. 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 Spain. 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?

Prevalence of airflow obstruction compatible with COPD in patients with HIV infection (time frame: cross-sectional). 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 10 Jun 2011.
