About this study

Official title: The Screening and Confirmation of Protein Markers Which Can Predict the Decline of Lung Function of Chinese Adults in EBC (Exhaled Breathing Condensate )

Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a worldwide leading and still increasing cause of chronic morbidity and mortality. The important issue of COPD is its delayed diagnosis. Previous studies have found that accelerated loss of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1.0) in an individual is considered an indicator of developing COPD. This functional predictive system, due to lower sensitivity, is very difficult to discover high-risk population and earlier stage of the disease. The inflammation occurs earlier than the lung function impairment. Therefore, early detection of the inflammation may theoretically predict the occurrence of COPD and thus may guide early intervention.

Proteomics techniques and protein chip techniques provides us high throughput screening method to figure out characteristic inflammatory or metabolic markers of a diseases. It can be used for searching the biomarkers relating to lung function loss. EBC is collected from exhaled gas and is a good non-invasive method for exploring the pathologic process of the airways.

Thus we designed this study to identify potential biomarkers associated with rapid lung function decline. This study is divided into two parts: 1) screening potential biomarkers between stable COPD and healthy individuals; 2) verifying significant biomarkers of first part in a community-based nested case-control population for 2 years.

Read the detailed description

Thus we designed this study. This study is divided into two parts: screening target biomarkers and identifying biomarkers.

  1. The FIRST STEP is a Case-control study to find target biomarkers. 20 COPD patients and 20 controls are to be enrolled in the study and their EBC and blood are collected. Proteomics techniques and protein chip techniques are to be used to screen COPD specific biomarkers in EBC.
  2. The SECOND STEP is a community-based nested case-control study to make sure whether the significant biomarkers in first part can predict rapid decline of lung function. The study will be a community based, multicenter prospective cohort designed, which including a total of 2,400 study subjects. EBC and blood are collected at the baseline and followed up for two years. Case group is defined as subjects with rapid decline of lung function and new COPD patients. Control group is selected according to 1:1 matching with age and gender.

What is being measured

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

  1. Protein biomarkers in EBC predicting rapid decline of lung function

    The study(second part) is to identify the biomarkers screened from the first step and make sure which is associated with rapid decline of lung function. The study will be a community based, multicenter prospective cohort designed, which including a total of 2,400 study subjects.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Protein biomarkers of EBC between COPD patients and healthy individuals

    The first part of study is to screen target biomarkers. 20 COPD patients and 20 controls are to be enrolled in the study and their EBC are to reserved. Proteomics techniques and protein chip techniques were used to screening COPD specific biomarkers.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Blood biomarkers between COPD patients and healthy individuals

    Peripheral blood will be collected. Plasma and PBMC will be extracted and stored respectively.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Blood biomarkers predicting rapid decline of lung function

    Peripheral blood will be collected. Plasma and PBMC will be extracted and stored respectively.

    Measured: 4 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Peking University First Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 20 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 3 Aug 2017. 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 China. 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 Cheng Zhang, AR, MD (zhangcheng033@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Protein biomarkers in EBC predicting rapid decline of lung function (time frame: 4 years). 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 3 Aug 2017.
