About this study

Official title: Effects of Exercise Training on Quadriceps Gene Expression in COPD-patients in Comparison to Alpha-1-Antitrypsin-deficiency-patients

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)-patients (caused by smoking-level) and Alpha-1-Antitrypsin-deficiency patients showed different developments during rehabilitation in regard to improvement of 6-minute-walking distance. The aim of this study is to investigate differences between training adaptations in COPD-patients and Alpha-1-deficiency patients. Both groups take part in a standardized multimodal 3-week-rehabilitation with strength and endurance training. In addition to conventional diagnostic procedures, muscle biopsies from the M. vastus lateralis will be conducted before and after rehabilitation program followed by biochemical, histochemical and immunohistochemical analysis of the probes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise training in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Alpha-1-antitrypsin-deficiency, run by Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 17 Dec 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 Germany. 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?

aerobic and anaerobic enzymes (time frame: day 2 and 23). 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 17 Dec 2013.
