Trial summary

Frailty is a state of health with predisposition to adverse events, morbidity and mortality. Frailty consists of weakness, slowness, low physical activity, exhaustion, and wasting. Frailty is associated with increased hospitalizations and death in lung disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does Pulmonary Rehabilitation Improve Frailty in Chronic Lung Disease?

Frailty is a state of health with predisposition to adverse events, morbidity and mortality. Frailty consists of weakness, slowness, low physical activity, exhaustion, and wasting. Frailty is associated with increased hospitalizations and death in lung disease. It is unknown if pulmonary rehabilitation will improve frailty markers.

Read the detailed description

Individuals referred to pulmonary rehabilitation will be examined for frailty markers. After completing pulmonary rehabilitation, the same tests will be performed. The effects of pulmonary rehabilitation will be examined.

Being tested
Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Dynamometer, DEXA, Gait Speed Test, Activity Monitor
Medical subject headings
Lung Diseases

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pulmonary RehabilitationOther

    Measures of frailty taken before and after pulmonary rehabilitation.

  • DynamometerDevice

    Grip Test

  • DEXARadiation

    Body Composition Testing

  • Gait Speed TestOther

    15 foot walk test

  • Activity MonitorDevice

    Measures energy expenditure and activity

  • QuestionnairesOther

    Health-related questionnaires measuring self-reported exhaustion, emotions and disease symptoms.

Pulmonary RehabilitationOtherOne arm study - all participants will go to pulmonary rehabilitation, received questionnaires, Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, Dynamometer and gait speed tests and activity measured through an activity monitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Frailty Phenotype at Baseline and 6 Months

    Frailty phenotype is 3 or more of: slow gait speed, exhaustion, decreased hand grip strength, decreased activity level, or wasting. Grip strength parameters, gait speed, exhaustion per Fried et al. 2001. Wasting is defined as further decrease in fat free mass by body composition measurement using DEXA. Low physical activity would be activity monitor in lower quartile.

    Measured: Baseline, Six months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Wasting

    DXA measurement of body mass index pre- and post- PR.

    Measured: after pulmonary rehabilation completion, appoximately 8 weeks

  2. Change in Strength

    Change in Grip Strength as measured by hand dynamometer.

    Measured: after completion of pulmonary rehab, approximately 8 weeks

  3. Change in Gait Speed

    gait speed test measured over 15 feet

    Measured: pre and post pulmonary rehab, approximately 8 weeks

  4. Improvement in Exhaustion

    Self-reported exhaustion - measured by two questions in the Center for the Epidemiological Studies in Depression (CES-D) scale and reported as a dichotomous variable (exhausted or not exhausted).

    Measured: pre and post pulmonary rehab, approximately 8 weeks

  5. Change in Physical Activity Level

    Measured by Body Media armband activity monitor using total energy expenditure divided by the resting metabolic rate

    Measured: pre and post pulmonary rehab, approximately 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Dynamometer and DEXA in people with Disease, Pulmonary, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 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 23 Jun 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Frailty Phenotype at Baseline and 6 Months (time frame: Baseline, Six 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 23 Jun 2020.
