About this study

Official title: Comprehensive Disease Management Program in COPD Patients in the Community: Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether comprehensive disease management program combined with best care recommended in clinical guidelines, is more effective than best care alone in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive program among patients with advanced COPD, implemented by a multi-disciplinary team. The program consists of best care recommended in clinical guidelines, combined with disease management, compared to best care only.

The program will include designated COPD centers operated by multi-disciplinary teams (pulmonologists, nurse practitioners, physiotherapists, social workers and dietitians). Disease management will be provided in these centers by qualified designated nurses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Disease management and Best care in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Sheba Medical Center at 2 sites in Israel.

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 8 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 20 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Israel. 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?

Hospital admission for acute exacerbation of COPD or all-cause mortality (time frame: Within 2 to 5 years after randomization). 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 20 May 2015.
