Trial summary

The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is between 8 and 15% of the adult population in 2010. This prevalence is expected to increase over the coming decades as the population ages and exposure to the risk factors for the disease continues. Read more about this study

  • Admission to the emergency department for an exacerbation defined as an acute event which is characterized by a degradation of respiratory symptoms greater than the usual daily variations and requiring a change in therapeutic management
  • Patient with mild exacerbation characterized by a DECAF score at 0 or 1. (DECAF score: Dyspnea, Eosinopenia, Consolidation on chest x-ray, Acidaemia, and atrial Fibrillation. One point for each criterion. Mortality at one month is less than 3% if the DECAF score is 0 or 1).

About this study

Official title: EXADOM: Early Supported Discharge and Enhanced Homecare After Emergency Department Admission for Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is between 8 and 15% of the adult population in 2010. This prevalence is expected to increase over the coming decades as the population ages and exposure to the risk factors for the disease continues. The evolution of COPD is marked by the occurrence of exacerbations of varying severity responsible for 1% of emergency department admission. Thus,95% of COPD patients admitted to emergency department for exacerbation are hospitalized.

Several recent studies seem to show that an early discharge from hospital with home care can reduce the rate of rehospitalisation and mortality of COPD patients. These preliminary data on low numbers need to be confirmed. In addition, it seems necessary to identify the phenotypes of patients who benefit most from these early exits.

Exadom project (supported by Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne Regional Health Authorities (ARS), AstraZeneca and Grenoble Alpes University Hospital) aims to establish a safe and effective way of discharging patients by providing enhanced home-based care for AECOPD.

Read the detailed description

Exadom project (supported by Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne Regional Health Authorities (ARS) , Grenoble Alpes University Hospital) aims to establish a safe and effective way of discharging COPD patients from emergency department by providing enhanced home care.

This program implements ambulatory care immediately after leaving the emergency department with a main goal of reducing hospital readmission during the first month. The home-based support includes daily visits at home conducted by the home care provider's nurses from day 1 to day 7, telephone calls at days 14 and 21 and a final home visit one month after discharge from the emergency department. Blood samples will be collected at inclusion, day 7 and one month during home visit and urine samples at inclusion, day 2, day 4 and one month during home visit .Telephone follow-up at 3, 6 months and one year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of hospitalizations

    number of an hospitalization being an entry in any hospital or clinic , whatever the length of the stay

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Rate of all cause of hospitalizations

    number of an hospitalization being an entry in any hospital or clinic , whatever the length of the stay for all cause

    Measured: 6 months and one year

  2. hospitalization rate for COPD exacerbation aggravation

    number of an hospitalization being an entry in any hospital or clinic , whatever the length of the stay for COPD exacerbation aggravation

    Measured: 3,6 and 12 months

  3. Hospitalization rate for worsening for cardio-respiratory symptoms

    number of hospitalizations due to myocardial infarction, cardiac failure, stroke

    Measured: one year

  4. Mortality

    number of death

    Measured: 3, 6 and 12 months

  5. Determinants of hospitalization

    measures of biological and clinical markers collected at baseline and at day 30

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Differential of biological and clinical markers

    Differential measurements of biological and clinical markers between day 30 and at inclusion

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Differential of medical average cost per patient

    comparaison between early discharge patient with ambulatory care group and patient with standard care (historical cohort)

    Measured: 3 months

  8. Acceptance rate of early ambulatory care

    Measured on the basis of a refusal register

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prevention in people with COPD, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2024. 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 France. 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?

Rate of hospitalizations (time frame: 90 days). 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 14 May 2024.
