About this study

Official title: Phase Ⅱ Study of Bosentan in the Treatment of Stable Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Present treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a certain role in reducing COPD exacerbation and hospitalization, improving the life quality, and postponing the lung function decline. But for some patients with severe COPD, current treatment only partially alleviates the symptoms and has little role in the lung function decline. In this randomized, multicenter study, the investigators evaluate the safety and efficacy of bosentan in the treatment of grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ COPD patients with pulmonary hypertension detected by echocardiography. The primary endpoint is the frequency of COPD exacerbation, and the secondary endpoint includes changes of lung function, 6-min-walk distance (6-MWD), SGRQ score and mMRC/CAT score.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bosentan and Symbicort turbuhaler in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 5 sites 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 3 inclusion and 12 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 20 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Shengqing Li, MD, PhD (+86-29-84771132, shengqingli@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of COPD Exacerbation (time frame: 12 months). 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 20 Mar 2014.
