Trial summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major public health problem and is expected to become the 3rd leading cause of death globally by 2020. The main risk factor is tobacco. Tobacco poisoning is found in 80 to 90% of patients with COPD. Read more about this study

About this study

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major public health problem and is expected to become the 3rd leading cause of death globally by 2020.

The main risk factor is tobacco. Tobacco poisoning is found in 80 to 90% of patients with COPD. However, non-smoking COPD is also described, with increasing prevalence figures, particularly related to occupational exposure, especially among farmers.

Read the detailed description

A prospective screening study based on questionnaires and electronic mini-spirometry (Néo-6®) that includes a representative sample of dairy farmers from the departments of Morbihan and Île-et-Vilaine in Brittany.

The dairy farmers had an occupational medicine appointment and, if they demonstrated at least one marker of possible bronchial obstruction (chronic cough, chronic bronchitis, dyspnoea, wheezing, spirometry), they were referred to a pulmonologist.

    prospective screening study based on questionnaires and electronic mini-spirometry (Néo-6(®)) that includes a representative sample of dairy farmers from the departments of Morbihan and Île-et-Vilaine in Brittany

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of bronchial obstruction

    Respiratory specific indices are extracted from a screening spirometry :

    Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)

    Bronchial obstruction is stated with a ratio FEV1 / FVC < 0.8

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prevalence of occupational specific COPD in dairy farmers

    Occupational specific COPD is defined as a ratio FEV1 / FVC < 0.8 associated to a clinical situation :

    • non reversibility after β2-agonists or corticoids administration,
    • no personal nor familial allergic conditions,
    • smoking history < 1 cigarettes package per year.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD, run by Rennes University Hospital 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 2 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 29 Mar 2023. 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?

Level of bronchial obstruction (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT03654469, 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 29 Mar 2023.
