Trial summary

The objectives of this research grant are to determine the association of hypoxia with the severity of osteoporosis in the patients with bronchiectasis and whether the mechanism of inflammation is triggered by inflammasones, which makes it more prone to osteoporosis in patients with bronchiectasis.

About this study

The objectives of this research grant are to determine the association of hypoxia with the severity of osteoporosis in the patients with bronchiectasis and whether the mechanism of inflammation is triggered by inflammasones, which makes it more prone to osteoporosis in patients with bronchiectasis.

Read the detailed description

80 patients with proven bronchiectasis, diagnosed by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), will be recruited from our outpatient clinic of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital with written informed consent. Inclusion criteria are: daily sputum > 10 ml; absence of asthma or other unstable systemic diseases; and "steady-state" bronchiectasis (< 10% alteration of 24 h sputum volume, FEV1, and FVC, and in the absence of deterioration in respiratory symptoms at baseline visits). Exclusion criteria include: unreliable clinic attendance; regular user of inhaled or oral corticosteroids; history of lung resection and known asthma defined according to American Thoracic Society guidelines.

The lung function and desaturation will be assessed by six-minute walking tests and the severity of disease will be evaluated by HRCT scores. Peripheral blood sample (40ml/person) is performed to analyze the bone turnover markers and the level of Hif in PBMC.

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 5 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 Mar 2018. 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 Taiwan. 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 Hung-Yu Huang, MD (033281200 ext. 8470, b9202071@cgmh.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

six minute walk test (time frame: 6 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 NCT03467035, which also lists 6 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2018.
