About this study

In addition to chronic airflow obstruction, patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) suffer from skeletal muscle dysfunction which is a prominent and disabling feature and also an independent determinant of survival. Muscular impairment involves loss of muscle oxidative phenotype (OXPHEN: a slow-to-fast shift in fibre types and reduced oxidative capacity). Since hypoxia obviously is a key feature of COPD, the aim of this study is to elucidate the role of hypoxia in loss of muscle OXPHEN.

Thus, OXPHEN and expression levels of its key regulators will be determined in the baseline biopsies for association with the degree of hypoxemia. In addition, expression levels of the key OXPHEN regulators will be measured in pre/post exercise biopsies.

What participants receive

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

  • Muscle biopsyProcedure or surgery

    The biopsy is performed on the vastus lateralis muscle at rest and 2 hours after an acute exercise, with a local anesthesia.

COPD patients with chronic hypoxemiaCOPD patients with chronic and severe arterial hypoxemia at rest (paO2<55mmHg).

COPD patients with normoxiaCOPD patients with normoxia at rest (paO2>67mmHg), matched for age, sex, bronchial obstruction and lean mass.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of expression of muscle messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) of HIF-1α and PGC-1α

    Comparison of expression levels of Hypoxia-inducible Factors (HIF-1α) and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α), two OXYPHEN regulators, in muscle biopsy, between COPD patients with chronic hypoxemia and those with normoxemia

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Type I muscle fibers

    It is an indicator of the muscle phenotype (with a muscle biopsy). It used to compared the muscle phenotype in the 2 groups of patients. It is a percentage.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Oxidative enzyme capacity

    It is an other indicator of the muscle phenotype (with a muscle biopsy). It used to compared the muscle phenotype in the 2 groups of patients.

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Level of expression of muscle mRNA of HIF-1α after acute exercise

    Comparison of response to acute exercise for expression level of HIF-1α (an OXYPHEN regulator) in muscle biopsy between the 2 groups.

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Level of expression of muscle mRNA of PGC-1α after acute exercise

    Comparison of response to acute exercise for expression level of PGC-1α (an OXYPHEN regulator) in muscle biopsy between the 2 groups.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2017. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of inclusion). 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?

Level of expression of muscle messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) of HIF-1α and PGC-1α (time frame: Day 1). 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 19 Oct 2017.
