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 Up to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: A range of diagnostic conditions that effect breathing and healthy normal subjects. The study will aim to recruit: 200 patients from different diagnostic groups between the ages of 0 and 80 100 healthy participants with no diagnosis of respiratory disease, between the ages of 0 and 80

Who may be able to join

  • Aged between 0 and 80 years

Who cannot join

  • Any contraindication to spirometry (if performed) or a history of a myocardial infarction or chest surgery within 4 weeks
  • Patient unable to sit in an upright (or supine in the case of infants) position for required period of time
  • Patients with significant co morbidities (assessed by the clinician at screening only):
  • Chest wall or spinal deformity e.g. scoliosis
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) Apnoea hypopnoea index > 30 (if known)
  • An acute or chronic condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would limit the patient's ability to participate in the study
  • BMI > 40
  • Inability to consent/comply with trial protocol

About this study

Official title: Validation in Healthy Subjects and Different Diagnostic States

Validation of Structured Light Plethysmography (SLP) in patients with conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) that effect breathing and in healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that SLP may be a useful tool to differentiate between different respiratory diseases. To further examine differences in disease and health, and between diseases SLP measurements will be recorded in a range of diagnostic conditions that effect breathing and in healthy normal subjects.

This is a non-randomised observational study to validate Structured Light Plethysmography in two groups of participants: those with Respiratory condition such as COPD and a normal healthy group. Neither group will receive any clinical intervention. SLP data capture and spirometry (as part of the patients clinical care) will be performed by the patients. The data collected from this study will allow examination of different breathing patterns between patients with different diseases, to compare breathing patterns in patients to those in healthy individuals, and to compare breathing patterns within a healthy population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in SLP Breath Timing indices and measured in seconds and between Patients and Healthy Subjects

    SLP breathing parameters derived from the movement of the thoracoabdominal (TA) wall during tidal breathing

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Difference in SLP Breath Timing Ratios between Patients and Healthy Subjects

    SLP breathing parameters derived from the trace of movement over time of the thoracoabdominal (TA) wall during tidal breathing

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Difference in SLP derived Relative Contribution (measured in %) between Patients and Healthy Subjects

    SLP breathing parameters derived from the movement of the thoracoabdominal (TA) wall during tidal breathing that describes the contribution of a region of the thoracoabdominal wall to total displacement

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Difference in SLP derived Phase (measured in degrees) between Patients and Healthy Subjects

    SLP breathing parameters derived from the movement of the thoracoabdominal (TA) wall during tidal breathing that describes the contribution of a region of the thoracoabdominal wall to total displacement

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Difference in SLP derived displacement rate derived parameters (measured in distance per second) between Patients and Healthy Subjects

    SLP breathing parameters derived from the trace of displacement rate over time of the thoracoabdominal (TA) wall during tidal breathing

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Difference in SLP displacement rate derived ratios between Patients and Healthy Subjects (measured in distance per second) between Patients and Healthy Subjects

    SLP breathing parameters ratios derived from the trace of displacement rate over time of the thoracoabdominal (TA) wall during tidal breathing

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)

    Measurement of FEV1

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)

    Measurement of FVC

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Pneumacare Ltd at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 8 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 10 Jul 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Contact Rachel Wilson, PhD (01223 967 414, rachel.wilson@pneumacare.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in SLP Breath Timing indices and measured in seconds and between Patients and Healthy Subjects (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02626468, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 10 Jul 2018.
