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 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Male or Female Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis sufferers over the age of 40, who have been diagnosed in accordance with either a multi-disciplinary review of their clinical history, thoracic high resolution computed tomography and/or surgical lung according to international guidelines

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female above the age of 40
  • IPF diagnosed by a multi-disciplinary team meeting following review of clinical history, thoracic high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and/or surgical lung according to international guidelines

Who cannot join

  • A recognised significant co-existing respiratory disease, defined as a respiratory condition that exhibits a clinically relevant effect on respiratory symptoms and disease progression as determined by the principal investigator following multi-disciplinary discussion. For example, patients with bronchiectasis will only be included if the bronchiectasis is deemed to be traction bronchiectasis as a result of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
  • Airflow obstruction defined as a forced expiratory volume at one second over forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) <60% predicted or a residual volume greater than 120% predicted
  • Significant medical ,surgical or psychiatric disease that in the opinion of the patient's attending physician would exhibit a clinically relevant effect on the patient's health related quality of life
  • The patient is unable to provide written informed consent

About this study

Official title: Exhaled Breath Condensate Biomarkers and Cough in People With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Analysis of exhaled breath condensate biomarkers and cough severity in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

This study will aim to investigate the levels of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) 8-isoprostane in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients' exhaled breath condensate (EBC). EBC samples will be collected using RTube, prior to analysis for levels of 8-isoprostane. An acceptability assessment will be performed for this non-invasive method of EBC collection through a non-validated questionnaire.

A regression analysis will then be performed for 8-isoprostane levels against the severity of the patient's cough, assessed through the use of the visual analogue scale for cough (VAS), the King's brief interstitial lung disease questionnaire (KBILD), the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea scale and the Leicester cough questionnaire. Alongside this an exploratory comparison of cough scores and 8 isoprostane concentration between patients with and without honeycombing and traction bronchiectasis.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02630940
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis sufferersMale or female idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) sufferers over the age of 40, with a confirmed diagnosis of IPF against international guidelines. Patients are devoid of significant other medical, surgical or psychiatric illnesses that may affect respiratory symptoms or disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. 8-isoprostane levels

    Used for detection of 8-isoprostane levels in patients' exhaled breath condensate samples

    Measured: 1 day (Single measurement )

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Leicester Cough Questionnaire

    Assessment of patient's cough severity

    Measured: 1 day (Single measurement )

  2. Kings brief interstitial lung disease questionnaire

    Assessment of patient's cough severity \& exercise tolerance

    Measured: 1 day (Single measurement )

  3. MRC dyspnoea Scale

    Assessment of patient's exercise tolerance

    Measured: 1 day (Single measurement )

  4. Visual analogue scale for Cough

    Assessment of patient's cough severity

    Measured: 1 day (Single measurement )

  5. Non-validated acceptability questionnaire

    Assessment of exhaled breath condensate collection method acceptability

    Measured: 1 day (Single measurement )

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by University of East Anglia 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2016. 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?

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?

8-isoprostane levels (time frame: 1 day (Single measurement )). 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 1 Jul 2016.
