About this study

Official title: Ventilation-drive Coupling to Evaluate The Efficacy of Inhaled Bronchodilators in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of chronic morbidity, mortality and disability throughout the world, leading to a heavy social and economic burden.Bronchodilators, the most commonly used drugs in COPD patients, have been shown to reduce dyspnea, improve exercise tolerance and improve health status. However,conventional lung function parameters such as forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) frequently fail to detect significant functional responses to bronchodilators in patients with chronic airflow obstruction. It is necessary for clinical and scientific reasons to develop a new tool to objectively assess the effect of different treatments including bronchodilator on COPD. Our previous study showed that Ventilation-drive coupling may be more sensitive and accurate to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled bronchodilators in patients with COPD because it could better reflect the pathological and physiological characteristics of COPD.

Based on the above conclusion, the present study were performed using the experimental methods of placebo and self-controlled. We aimd to explore the value of ventilation-drive coupling in evaluating the efficacy of bronchodilators on COPD and provide a reasonable basis for the clinical application of this index.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups:

  1. Group A: Patients inhaled placebo, ipratropium 80μg, salbutamol 400 μg in sequence;
  2. Group B: Patients inhaled placebo, salbutamol 400μg, ipratropium 80 μg in sequence.

The data were collected in 30 minutes after patients inhaled placebo,in 30 minutes after ipratropium and in 15 minutes after salbutamol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diaphragmatic function

    Diaphragmatic function can be assessed by diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi), which reflect the physiological activity of the diaphragm and indicate functional status of the central drive.

    Measured: The groups will be assessed at baseline (time zero) and ten minutes after using each drug.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Respiratory pressure

    Respiratory pressure parameters include gastric pressure (Pga), esophageal pressure (Pes), transdiaphragmatic pressure ( Pdi), mouth pressure (Pmo).

    Measured: The groups will be assessed at baseline (time zero) and ten minutes after using each drug.

  2. Respiratory volume

    Respiratory volume is associated with Flow, Inspiratory capacity (IC), tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate (RR), inspiratory time (Ti),expiratory time (Te), minute ventilation (VE).

    Measured: The groups will be assessed at baseline (time zero) and ten minutes after using each drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ipratropium bromide and salbutamol in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Zhujiang 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Jul 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 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?

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?

Diaphragmatic function (time frame: The groups will be assessed at baseline (time zero) and ten minutes after using each drug.). 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 Jul 2015.
