About this study

Official title: Antioxidants Supplementation Associated With Pulmonary Rehabilitation is it Effective on Muscle Dysfunction and Signaling Pathways Involved in the Myopathy of COPD?

On the basis of published data and investigators results indicating that systemic redox in balance may contribute to the peripheral muscle dysfunction in COPD patients, the investigators propose a study testing the effects of antioxidants and exercise training in COPD patients. The results may have major implication in the improvement of pulmonary rehabilitation benefits

Read the detailed description

COPD will constitute the third cause of mortality in 2012. This chronic respiratory disease is characterized by peripheral dysfunction of skeletal muscle which is associated with major clinical outcomes (prognostics, symptoms, and health related quality of life). Muscle and systemic oxidative stress has been incriminated in this peripheral muscle dysfunction.Exercise training constitute the main validated therapeutic intervention leading to significant muscle function and clinical improvement.Our preliminary results have shown that COPD patients experiment dietary and enzymatic antioxidants defects.Yet, generic antioxidant supplementation has not shown significant muscle function improvement.Therefore, we aim to test the effects of an antioxidant supplementation targeted on the antioxidant defects associated with exercise training on the peripheral muscle function, exercise tolerance and health quality of life in COPD patients.At the cellular level, this muscle dysfunction is related with a fiber atrophy and a metabolic switch (reduce proportion of oxidative fiber).This study will compare the effects of an antioxidant supplementation on the peripheral muscle function and skeletal muscle cellular properties in association with exercise training during a pulmonary rehabilitation course.Volunteers will be randomised in 2 groups: - 1 group treated with the antioxidant supplementation ( 28 days)- 1 group treated with the placeboIntervention will be allocated by chance and a double blind manner. Antioxidant supplementation will associate vitamins and trace elements that won't exceed the maximal nutritional dose recommended.

What is being measured

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

  1. quadriceps endurance time.Time frame: at the start and the end of the study

    sitting on a bench, starting from a 90° knee flexion of the dominant leg, the subjects should perform knee extensions (6 movements per minute) with a workload to 30% of the isometric maximal voluntary contraction until exhaustion. The duration of the test (in seconds) characterizes the quadriceps endurance.

    Measured: up to day 37

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. muscle and /or serum oxidative stress level

    Description: oxidative stress will be evaluated by measuring lipid peroxidation and oxidized proteins.GSH/ GSSG ratio and enzymatic/non enzymatic antioxidants

    Measured: up to day 37

  2. Isometric maximal voluntary contraction of the quadriceps

    sitting on a bench with a force sensor connected to a data acquisition and analysis system signal, subjects should reproduce three trials spaced 1 minute, by an extension movement of the knee joint against a stationary load, maximum way, keeping the arms crossed over the chest and leaning against the back in order to limit the involvement of other muscles. The most elevated of the three tests repeatable value close to 10% characterizes the maximum strength of subjects.

    Measured: up to day 37

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Antioxidant Supplementation associated to Comprehensive respiratory Rehabilitation Program in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and COPD, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 2 sites 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 1 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 16 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. 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 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?

quadriceps endurance time.Time frame: at the start and the end of the study (time frame: up to day 37). 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 NCT01942889, 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 16 Aug 2018.
