Trial summary

The main objective is to study important factors in the patho-physiology of osteoporosis in patients with COPD. Therefore, the investigators will study biological markers in plasma and urine and correlate them to markers of bone turnover and clinical data. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: In total 120 patients will be included. All subjects will be included from the outdoor clinic of the department of Pulmonology of the Catharina Hospital Eindhoven or Diagnostic Centre Eindhoven (DCE). The subjects are divided into 6 groups of 20 subjects each, I: COPD patients with osteoporosis based on T-score and without vertebral fractures, II: COPD patients with osteoporosis based on T-score and vertebral fractures, III: COPD patients with vertebral fractures and without osteoporosis based on T-score, IV: COPD patients without osteoporosis based on T-score and without vertebral fractures, V: healthy controls with osteoporosis based on T-score and without vertebral fractures, VI: healthy controls without osteoporosis based on T-score and without vertebral fractures.

Who may be able to join

  • Aged 50 years or older;
  • Women have to be postmenopausal (amenorrhea for 12 months or more)
  • COPD Global initiative of Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) I, II, III and IV according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines;
  • ≥ 12 pack years;
  • No respiratory tract infection or exacerbation of the disease for at least 4 weeks before the study;
  • No use of oral corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks before the study;
  • No use of anti-osteoporotic medication (calcium, vitamin D, biphosphonates) before inclusion;
  • Capable to provide informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Malignancy in the last 5 years;

About this study

Official title: Patho-physiology of Osteoporosis in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The main objective is to study important factors in the patho-physiology of osteoporosis in patients with COPD. Therefore, the investigators will study biological markers in plasma and urine and correlate them to markers of bone turnover and clinical data.

Read the detailed description

Rationale:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined as a preventable and treatable disease with significant extrapulmonary effects. Osteoporosis is recognized as one of these extrapulmonary consequences. It results in increased risk of fracture and thereby an increased morbidity and mortality. Nowadays it is believed that the patho-physiology of osteoporosis is multi-factorial. However, which factors are most important in patients with COPD is still not clear.

Objective:

The main objective is to study important factors in the patho-physiology of osteoporosis in patients with COPD. Therefore, we will study biological markers in plasma and urine and correlate them to markers of bone turnover and clinical data.

Study design:

The present study will be an observational, cross-sectional study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive and Osteoporosis, run by Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven.

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 8 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 29 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 29 Jul 2015.
