About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Therapy for Severe COPD Patients in the Stable Phase by an Oxyhydrogen Generator With Nebulizer: A Multi-centric, Randomized, Parallel-control and Double-blinded Clinic Study

The purpose for this study is to determine safety and effectiveness of the oxyhydrogen generator with nebulizer through an adjuvant therapy for the severe COPD patients in the stable phase.

Read the detailed description

In this study, severe COPD patients in stable phase who were included in both treatment and control groups, administered randomly oxyhydrogen generator with nebulizer (treatment group) or oxygen Nebulizer Machine (control group )for adjuvant therapy. The therapeutic outcomes in both treatment and control groups are analyzed and evaluated to verify safety and effectiveness of the test product.This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind study. The trial lasted for 3 months. The curative effect was observed for subjects in the second week, first month, second month and third month respectively as the observing time point. Total patients which are planned to be included are 140 cases, where, 70 cases in the treatment group and control group respectively are distributed in 5 clinical hospitals.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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 Zheng Z Guang, doctor (18928868242, zheng862082@139.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from Baseline in dyspnea index score (mMRC score) at 3 months (time frame: baseline and 3 months). 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 NCT02850185, which also lists 10 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?
