About this study

Official title: Dynamic Changes of the Respiratory Microbiota and Its Relationship to Fecal Microbiota in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are 2-3 times more likely to occur together with chronic gastrointestinal tract (GIT) diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Similarly, despite many patients have no history of acute or chronic respiratory disease, up to 50% of IBD patients and 33% of IBS patients have pulmonary involvement, such as inflammation or impaired lung function. Increasing evidence indicated chronic gut and lung disease share key conceptual features with the disorder and dysregulation of the microbial ecosystem. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.

Our study is aimed to elucidate the intimate relationship between the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract, and uncover the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota affects the immune responses in the lungs, and vice versa.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yali Zheng, Dr. (+8615011451515, yali_zheng@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

all-cause mortality (time frame: patients will be followed for 3 months after their remission from hospital). 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 NCT03236480, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
