Trial summary

COPD is characterized by exagerated decline FEV1 related to obstructive non reversible airflow. This could be the consequence of structural changes and inflammatory pattern of the bronchial wall. Read more about this study

About this study

COPD is characterized by exagerated decline FEV1 related to obstructive non reversible airflow. This could be the consequence of structural changes and inflammatory pattern of the bronchial wall. Lesions could lead to normal but also abnormal remodeling specially in COPD including a decrease in Club cells number and function.There is no treatment actually available targeted to a normal repair of the epithelium. The objective of this work is to identify potential targets for reprograming bronchial epithelial cells I order to achieve a good repair.

What is being measured

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

  1. Full recovery one day after injury (yes / no) proportion of cells showing the repair, remodeling or regeneration of the epithelium (ciliated cells, mucus cells, Clara cells) in culture in air-liquid interface in the three groups

    The study will be judged on the proportion of cells showing the repair, remodeling or regeneration of the epithelium (ciliated cells, mucus cells, Clara cells) in culture in air-liquid interface in the three groups.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measurement of apoptosis and inflammation (IL8)

    Determine the molecular mechanisms and deleterious cell leading to poor repair of the epithelium in patients with COPD

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Measure the effect of the CC10 protein secreted by Clara cells on the repair of the bronchial epithelium.

    Measuring the reprogramming of the epithelium of COPD patients to a control-type epithelium

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing In vitro experiments on bronchial epithelial cells in people with Heathy Volunteers and Smokers, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 9 inclusion and 5 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 24 Sep 2019. 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 France. 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?

Full recovery one day after injury (yes / no) proportion of cells showing the repair, remodeling or regeneration of the epithelium (ciliated cells, mucus cells, Clara cells) in culture in air-liquid interface in the three groups (time frame: 1 day). 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 24 Sep 2019.
