Trial summary

We aim to use an integrated network systems approach to analyze certain existing small airway epithelium (SAE) omic data sets at the genetic, epigenetic (methylation), gene expression, microRNA and metabolomic levels, to develop an initial model of network connectivities and key network pressure points relevant to SAE… Read more about this study

About this study

We aim to use an integrated network systems approach to analyze certain existing small airway epithelium (SAE) omic data sets at the genetic, epigenetic (methylation), gene expression, microRNA and metabolomic levels, to develop an initial model of network connectivities and key network pressure points relevant to SAE biology in health and disease.

Read the detailed description

Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the disordered differentiation of the SAE that characterizes COPD results from the complex interaction of cigarette smoke components with a hierarchy of genetic, epigenetic, gene expression and metabolomics network interactions as the BC differentiate into a mucociliary epithelium.

Specific aim 1. Using an integrated network systems approach to analyze our extensive existing SAE omic data sets at the genetic, epigenetic (methylation), gene expression, microRNA and metabolomics levels, to develop an initial model of network connectivities and key network pressure points relevant to SAE biology in health and disease.

Specific aim 2. To refine the model, a comprehensive omics data set will be collected at multiple time points as SAE BC of nonsmokers and COPD smokers differentiate to normal and disordered mucociliary epithelium (respectively) on air-liquid interface (ALI) culture, an in vitro model of SAE differentiation. The computational strategies from aim 1 will be used to improve the model with these data.

Specific aim 3. To test and finalize the integrated network model, a parallel omics data set will be generated from BC from nonsmokers, and COPD smokers as they differentiate on ALI under conditions where key hubs will be up- or down-regulated and the differentiation process stressed under conditions mimicking the in vivo SAE environment. The end result will be an integrated systems model of SAE biology and how this is disordered in COPD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Smoking and COPD, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 6 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 28 May 2021. 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 United States. 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?

Identification of network pressure points relevant to SAE biology confirmed by analyze of SAE data sets. (time frame: One Year). 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 28 May 2021.
