About this study

Official title: Compartmental Analysis of Metabolite Profiles Associated With Disease Phenotype in Smokers With and Without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Despite the high prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there continues to be a large gap in our understanding of disease pathogenesis and mechanisms accounting for large variability in disease phenotype. Untargeted metabolomics is an ideal approach to uncover the metabolic basis of disease, as well as discover unique drug target opportunities aimed at these nodal metabolic drivers of disease. There are very limited data from metabolomics studies from plasma/serum and exhaled breath condensate that suggest certain metabolic pathways or metabolites might predict the presence and/or severity of COPD phenotypes.

Here, the investigators hope to generate comprehensive, compartment specific (blood and lung) metabolite profiles that will be correlated with various clinical phenotypes of COPD, using a complementary approach of untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and liquid chromatography (LC)- mass spectroscopy (MS) -based metabolomics.

Despite the high prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there continues to be a large gap in our understanding of disease pathogenesis and mechanisms accounting for large variability in disease phenotype. Untargeted metabolomics is an ideal approach to uncover the metabolic basis of disease, as well as discover unique drug target opportunities aimed at these nodal metabolic drivers of disease. There are very limited data from metabolomics studies from plasma/serum and exhaled breath condensate that suggest certain metabolic pathways or metabolites might predict the presence and/or severity of COPD phenotypes.

The investigators hypothesize that: 1) smokers with COPD will have a metabolomics signature that is distinct from healthy non-COPD smokers; 2) this signature will be associated with clinically relevant manifestations of disease (e.g., GOLD classification, PFT).

The availability of biosamples from a well-characterized population of smokers with and without COPD, combined with our established in-house metabolomics expertise, will robustly allow to test these novel hypotheses. The investigators hope to generate comprehensive, compartment specific (blood and lung) metabolite profiles that will be correlated with various clinical phenotypes of COPD, using a complementary approach of untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and liquid chromatography (LC)- mass spectroscopy (MS) -based metabolomics. Moreover, this strategy may identify previously unrecognized metabolic pathways that are dysregulated in COPD. Collectively, these data will be used to direct a prospective clinical study to determine the association between metabolomics signatures and clinical outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Metabolites that can predict the progress of lung function

    The study is aimed to investigate the relationship between the metabolites and the progress of lung function in COPD

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Metabolites that can predict the severity of emphysema

    The association between metabolites and emphysema is also investigated

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Metabolites that are associated with inflammatory mediators

    The association between metabolites and inflammatory mediators is also investigated

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 0 inclusion and 3 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 17 Oct 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 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?

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?

Metabolites that can predict the progress of lung function (time frame: 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 NCT03310177, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Oct 2017.
