What is being measured

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

  1. change in 6 minute walking distance

    change in 6 minute walking distance from baseline to day 25

    Measured: day 1 and 25

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. change in quality of life (chronic respiratory questionnaire, CRQ)

    change in CRQ-Score from baseline to day 25

    Measured: day 1 and 25

  2. change quality of life (Saint George´s Respiratory Questionnaire, SGRQ)

    change in SGRQ-Score from baseline to day 25

    Measured: day 1 and 25

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pulmonary rehabilitation in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 4 Sep 2015. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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: major problems in recruiting patients due to very strict inclusion criteria). 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?

change in 6 minute walking distance (time frame: day 1 and 25). 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 4 Sep 2015.
