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 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The subjects in this study will be adult males or females, ≥40 years of age, at increased risk for AECOPD (Cohort 1) or who present with severe AECOPD requiring hospitalization (Cohort 2).

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥ 40 years at the time of screening
  • Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (eg, HIPAA in the USA, EU Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
  • Cohort 1 only: A primary diagnosis of clinically stable physician-diagnosed COPD upon entry into the study meeting one of the following criteria:
  • Subjects who have experienced a severe AECOPD requiring inpatient hospitalization in the previous 12 months
  • Subject who had one severe AECOPD requiring ED visits in the past 9 months
  • Subjects who are currently on LTOT.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Cohort 1 only: Stable COPD for 4 weeks prior to screening, as defined by no change in ICS therapy and no use of oral corticosteroids or antibiotics for a respiratory tract infection.
  • Cohort 1 only: Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) < 0.70 or lower limits of normal (LLN).
  • Cohort 1 only: FEV1 < 60% predicted normal value.
  • Cohort 2 only: A primary diagnosis of physician-diagnosed AECOPD requiring admission to the hospital.
  • Current smoker or ex-smoker with a tobacco history of ≥ 10 pack-years (one pack year = 20 cigarettes smoked per day for 1 year).
  • Ability and willingness to complete the appropriate follow-up period of time as required by the protocol.
  • Able to read and write and use the electronic devices (English or Spanish version).

Who cannot join

  • Participation (defined as administration of at least one dose of investigational product) in another clinical study, the last follow-up visit of which is within 12 weeks (for a small molecule drug) and (6 months for a large molecule drug) of entry into this study.
  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with interpretation of subject safety or study results.
  • Employees of the clinical study site or any other individuals involved with the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals.
  • The presence of another chronic pulmonary or systemic disease, which in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor might affect the analysis of the data (eg, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, active cancer or autoimmune disease).
  • History of immunodeficiency.
  • Current alcohol or drug abuse or a history of unsuccessfully treated alcohol or drug abuse within the past year.
  • Cohort 2 only: Diagnosis of an acute disease/condition (eg, congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, or pulmonary embolus) that is the primary reason for the subject's hospitalization.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate Biomarkers in Acute Exacerbations in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The primary objective of this study is to identify biomarkers that can be used for evaluation of efficacy in subjects presenting with AECOPD

Read the detailed description

Identify biomarkers that can be used for evaluation of efficacy in subjects presenting with AECOPD by evaluating longitudinal changes and the interrelationship of blood and sputum biomarkers with physiological endpoints and symptom measures in stable subjects with COPD likely to experience a future AECOPD, and in subjects during severe AECOPD.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01268072
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort 2Subjects who are recruited on admission to hospital for AECOPD.
Cohort 1Subjects with COPD who are stable, but at risk of presenting with an AECOPD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify biomarkers for evaluation of efficacy in subjects presenting with AECOPD

    Investigate changes in physiological measures, symptoms, and blood, urine and sputum biomarkers in subjects with stable COPD during AECOPD, and as subjects return to clinical stability.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Hospitalization, treatment and discharge of COPD subjects

    Gain an understanding of the reasons subjects with COPD may be hospitalized for their AECOPD and to understand the criteria physicians use for treatment and discharge.

    Measured: 12 months

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by MedImmune LLC at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Canada. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study was completed with 69 subjects enrolled due to difficult enrolment and adequate biomarker data was avaible with 69 subjects in the study.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Identify biomarkers for evaluation of efficacy in subjects presenting with AECOPD (time frame: 12 months). 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 Feb 2013.
