Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Smokers from 35 to 50 years who ever performed a spirometry in the selected primary care centers. Selected subjects will not have exacerbation symptoms (fever, new onset or increased cough, increase sputum volume and/or purulence, acute rhinitis) within 8 weeks prior to the recruitment (from beginning of the symptoms).

  • COPD case:
  • Subjects between 35 and 50 years
  • Post-bronchodilator spirometry with FEV1/FVC <70%
  • Smoker or ex-smoker with total cumulative exposure > 10 pack-years
  • Smoking control:
  • Subjects between 35 and 50 years
  • Post-bronchodilator spirometry with FEV1/FVC >=70%
  • Smoker or ex-smoker with total cumulative exposure> 10 pack-years

About this study

Official title: Early COPD: Determinants of Onset and Progression of COPD in Young Adults

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a Public Health problem due to its impact in the patient's quality of life, high prevalence, growing incidence and socioeconomic implication. COPD natural history and first stages determinants are unknown. Knowing them will help to understand the natural history of the disease and to design interventions that can modify the prognosis of the disease.

Study objectives: (1) To characterize an early COPD population from a multidimensional point of view including demographic, social, family and clinical data, lung function, exercise capacity, image, microbiology, quality of life, exacerbations, comorbidities and blood and sputum biomarkers. (2) To compare this patients with smoking subjects, with normal lung function, matched by age, sex and site. (3) To create an early COPD cohort to be followed in the future to understand the complete natural history of the disease.

Methods: Design: multicenter cross-sectional study that will allow establishing a well-characterized cohort of early COPD patients for later follow-up. Recruitment will be done in Primary Care settings. Subjects: smokers (> 10 packs year) between 35-50 years old with a spirometry (normal or obstructive) done in the last year. Diagnosis of COPD will be based on the smoking history and a postbronchodilator test FEV1(Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second) / FVC(Forced Vital Capacity) < 70%. Age, sex and site matched 'healthy' smoker controls will be compared with the COPD cases. Variables that will be collected in the reference hospitals are: health questionnaires, lung function test, exercise capacity, blood and sputum samples, and low dose CT-scan. Statistical analysis: early COPD patient's characteristics will be described and then, will be compared, with control subjects through a conditional multiple logistic regression analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD, run by Borja Cosio at 1 site in Spain.

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 8 inclusion and 17 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 27 Feb 2018. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Differences in lung function measures between cases and controls (time frame: At time of visit 1 (cross-sectional)). 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 27 Feb 2018.
