Trial summary

Attainment of peak healthy lung function during the 18-26 yr window is a strong determinant of the rate of lung function decline during the later years of life. The attainment of a healthy peak lung function is mediated by pre and peri natal exposures ( in utero environment and nutrition) and exposure to environmental… Read more about this study

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 18 to 30 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Both birth cohorts,will be instrumental in understanding the link between intergenerational nutrition, early life exposures metabolism and lung health, particularly in rapidly developing lungs. Subjects have already been enrolled in the cohort. Complete datasets of offspring, now aged around 18-30 years, are available through this study, starting from pre-natal environment.

Who may be able to join

  • Men and Women
  • 18-30 years
  • Mothers registered in the birth cohort
  • Able to perform IOS and Spirometry

Who cannot join

  • Major systemic diseases like cardiac or renal problems
  • Clinically significant anemia
  • Bone deformity of chest or spine
  • muscular weakness
  • Otherwise unable to participate in spirometry

About this study

Attainment of peak healthy lung function during the 18-26 yr window is a strong determinant of the rate of lung function decline during the later years of life. The attainment of a healthy peak lung function is mediated by pre and peri natal exposures ( in utero environment and nutrition) and exposure to environmental toxicants and nutrition during childhood and early adulthood. Towards this Indian birth cohorts, having collected comprehensive data on maternal nutrition and anthropometry can provide invaluable insight into the factors affecting lung function growth and their effect sizes in the Indian population. Therefore, in this observational study, the Investigator will be collecting data on lung function, current nutritional and environmental exposures and linking it to pre and peri natal data of the same participants in order to understand lung function growth and the reasons for an early decline in the Indian population, using a life course approach.

Introduction:

Attainment of peak healthy lung function during the 18-26 yr window is a strong determinant of the rate of lung function decline during the later years of life. The attainment of a healthy peak lung function is mediated by pre and peri natal exposures ( in utero environment and nutrition) and exposure to environmental toxicants and nutrition during childhood and early adulthood. Towards this Indian birth cohorts, having collected comprehensive data on maternal nutrition and anthropometry can provide invaluable insight into the factors affecting lung function growth and their effect sizes in the Indian population. Therefore, in this observational study, the Investigator will be collecting data on lung function, current nutritional and environmental exposures and linking it to pre and peri natal data of the same participants in order to understand lung function growth and the reasons for an early decline in the Indian population, using a life course approach.

Sampling:

F1 generation of previously registered Indian Birth Cohorts, having collected comprehensive data on maternal exposures, nutrition and anthropometry.

Techniques Employed:

Spirometry , Forced OscillationTechnique, Anthropometry, Questionnaire, Biochemical analysis of nutritional, immunomodulatory and inflammatory biomarkers.

Being tested
Forced Oscillation Technique
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, Metabolic Syndrome

What participants receive

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

  • Forced Oscillation TechniqueDiagnostic test

    Also called Spirometry, Questionnaire, Biochemical analysis of nutritional, immunological and inflammatory biomarkers

    F.O.T. method can be used to assess obstruction in the large and small peripheral airways , Changes in lung volumes will be measured using a digital spirometer . Every participant will be asked to sit straight, seal the mouthpiece completely with their lips, breathe in fully, blow as hard as possible into the mouthpiece, emptying the lungs completely., Whole blood collected on site (20 mL from every participant, for about 23 metabolites) will be separated into cells and serum. A detailed questionnaire assessing respiratory health, demographic data, habits, and environmental exposure has been developed and validated by Chest Research Foundation.

Pune Maternal Nutrition CohortStudy has been planned on the F1 generation of the mothers recruited under the PMNS study at Diabetes Unit, KEM-Pune. Data on maternal nutrition, exposures and anthropometry have been collected, in the F1 generation. This study will be adding cross sectional lung function measurement, biochemical analyses for nutritional, immunological and inflammatory biomarkers.

Data on maternal nutrition, exposures and anthropometry have been collected, in the F1 generation, the study will be adding cross sectional lung function measurement, biochemical analyses for nutritional, immunological and inflammatory biomarkers.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Forced Oscillation Technique

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulmonary Function Test

    To ascertain whether healthy peak lung function values have been attained

    Measured: 12-18 months

  2. Forced oscillation technique

    To ascertain the magnitude of airway resistance and study the prevalence of small airway disease

    Measured: 12-18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum biochemistry

    To study nutritional, immunological and inflammatory biomarkers correlated with both lung function and metabolic syndrome

    Measured: 12-18 months

Individual data sharing
Yes: Participant data sets and/or documents to be shared : Lung function data, biomarker data, retrospective maternal anthropometry data will be shared as a complete dataset, but with a participant ID which will be delinked from actual participant identity. The ID will only be linked to the participant in the event that an abnormality is detected and the participant may require intervention. Data will be shared via a common excel sheet available to all investigators.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Early Adult Lung Function and Small Airway Disease, run by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India at 1 site in India.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 15 Jun 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 India. 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?

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?

Pulmonary Function Test (time frame: 12-18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Jun 2017.
