Trial summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronicle inflammatory disease with a non reversible diminution of the airway flow. COPD is caused most commonly from tobacco smoking, which triggers an abnormal inflammatory response in the lung. Worldwide, COPD ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in 1990.

About this study

Official title: Central Control of Breathing in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Identification and Dynamics With Cerebral Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronicle inflammatory disease with a non reversible diminution of the airway flow. COPD is caused most commonly from tobacco smoking, which triggers an abnormal inflammatory response in the lung. Worldwide, COPD ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in 1990. It is projected to be the fourth leading cause of death worldwide by 2030 due to an increase in smoking rates and demographic changes in many countries. COPD is responsible for 16000 deaths per year in France, 100 000 hospitalizations per year and the health care expenditure of COPD in France is 3.5 billion of Euros. Classical markers of the disease severity, the forced expiratory volume in one second, poorly correlates with dyspnea and prognosis. Therefore, many studies focused on the control of breathing in an attempt to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the progression of the disease. Breathing control is enhanced in patients with COPD due to the progressive failure of respiratory muscles (airflow obstruction, static and dynamic hyperinflation, positive intrinsic end expiratory pressure), the ventilation/ perfusion ratio abnormalities leading to the loss of the gaz exchange efficiency. Inspiratory command depends on the medulla automatic pathway and the voluntary corticospinal command. Indirect method of breathing control estimation suggested in COPD patients an increased excitability of neurons involved in the voluntary diaphragm activation and a reduced cortical reserve. This may represent an increase risk factor for acute respiratory failure. Until now, no study reported the central breathing control with cerebral fMRI in COPD patients.

Indirect method of breathing control estimation suggested in COPD patients an increased excitability of neurons involved in the voluntary diaphragm activation and a reduced cortical reserve. This may represent an increase risk factor for acute respiratory failure. Until now, no study reported the central breathing control with cerebral fMRI in COPD patients. This pilot study also aims in estimating if the absence or diminution of the cortical reserve is a marker of disease severity. In addition correlations will be performed between activated neuronal signals with fMRI and ventilatory flow output recordings (chaotic analysis).

What is being measured

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

  1. Central ventilatory control

    Evaluation of the central ventilatory control at the patients COPD during the application of an inspiratory resistance.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of the neuronal activation

    Evaluation of the neuronal activation bulbo-pontique and corticospinal during the application of an inspiratory resistance.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Chaotic analysis

    The correlations will be performed between activated neuronal signals with fMRI and ventilatory flow output recordings (chaotic analysis).

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cerebral fMRI in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 11 inclusion and 21 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 14 Aug 2013. 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 France. 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?

Central ventilatory control (time frame: 1 month). 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 14 Aug 2013.
