About this study

Official title: Impact of Pulmonary Resection on Exercise Capacity in Patients With Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis can be defined as an abnormal and irreversible dilatation of the bronchial tree due to repeated cycles of inflammation and infection, resulting in progressive loss of lung function. The surgical treatment by pulmonary resection or even lung transplantation is indicated in cases of bronchiectasis primary nonresponsive to appropriate medical treatment, or when associated with serious complications. There are few literature data on the influence of bronchiectasis in exercise capacity, quality of life and functional capacity, and the impact of lung resection in patients with this diagnosis. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate prospectively the impact of lung resection on exercise capacity in patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of bronchiectasis. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of lung resection on quality of life and lung function and to analyze the the presence of predictors of postoperative functional deterioration and the occurrence of complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of Pulmonary Resection on Exercise Capacity

    Exercise Capacity will be assessed using Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Exercise Capacity at 3 months and Change from Baseline in Exercise Capacity at 9 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Impact of Pulmonary Resection on Quality of Life.

    Quality of life will be assessed using WHOQOL-Bref and SF-36 questionnaries.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Quality of Life at 3 months and Change from Baseline in Quality of Life at 9 months.

  2. Impact of Pulmonary Resection on Lung Function.

    Lung Function will be assessed using Spirometry Test.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Lung Function at 3 months and Change from Baseline in Lung Function at 9 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 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 30 Dec 2010. 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 Brazil. 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 Ricardo Mingarini Terra, MD, PhD (55 11 3069597, rmterra@uol.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Impact of Pulmonary Resection on Exercise Capacity (time frame: Change from Baseline in Exercise Capacity at 3 months and Change from Baseline in Exercise Capacity at 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01268475, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Dec 2010.
