About this study

Official title: FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE LUNG IMAGING USING INHALED HYPERPOLARISED 129Xe

The aim of this study is to investigate the potential value of a novel imaging technique (hyperpolarized 129Xe lung imaging) in the diagnosis and assessment of lung disease in patients with COPD and IPF.

Conditions
COPD, IPF
Being tested
hyperpolarised 129 Xenon
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What participants receive

Study groups in NCT02976935
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healthy VolunteersSubjects will receive 1L non-hyperpolarised 129Xenon to inhale. Then:Subjects will inhale the first hyperpolarised 129Xenon calibration dose (up to 1L, which may be a mix of hyperpolarised 129Xenon and N2) and hold their breath while the MRI scan is performed. Then:A further series of inhalations will be performed up to a maximum of 3 (maximum total exposure to hyperpolarised 129Xenon will be 3.6L). Optional Study Visit #2:Identical to Study Visit 1 but with the further series of inhalations being up to a maximum of 4 (maximum total exposure to hyperpolarised 129Xenon will be 5L).Optional Study Visit #3: Identical to Study Visit 2 (maximum total exposure to hyperpolarised 129Xenon will be 5L)
Receives: Other: hyperpolarised 129 Xenon
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseSubjects will receive 1L bag of non-hyperpolarised 129Xenon to inhale. Then:Subjects will inhale the first hyperpolarised 129Xenon calibration dose (up to 1L, which may be a mix of hyperpolarised 129Xenon and N2) and hold their breath for required time while the MRI scan is performed.Then:A further series of inhalations will be performed up to a maximum of 3 (maximum total exposure to hyperpolarised 129Xenon will be 3.6L). Optional Study Visit #2: Identical to Study Visit 1 (maximum total exposure to hyperpolarised 129Xenon will be 3.6L)
Receives: Other: hyperpolarised 129 Xenon

What is being measured

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

  1. Acquisition of baseline data and images to investigate use of hp129Xe as a diagnostic tool

    1. Obtain baseline data for each group with matched clinical data (e.g. pulmonary function tests) allowing comparison with existing clinical diagnostic techniques and also determining correlation with disease severity ii) Use the images obtained to set up standard sequencing protocols and define algorithms and inform power calculations for subsequent studies

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Collation of data regarding ability of participants to adhere to the study protocol

    1. To collate data regarding the ability of participants of each group to adhere to the protocol thus informing the study design of future trials.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD and IPF, run by University of Nottingham 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 6 inclusion and 16 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 22 Dec 2022. 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?

Acquisition of baseline data and images to investigate use of hp129Xe as a diagnostic tool (time frame: 4 years). 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 22 Dec 2022.
