About this study

The purpose of this research study is to develop CT scanning and image analysis techniques to help define and measure several key properties of the pulmonary system that cannot be obtained by other tests or exams.

Read the detailed description

Specifically, the investigators are interested in understanding the difference between the normal aging process and the events that lead to emphysema. Additionally, the investigators are interested in understanding the earliest signs (lung inflammation) of the disease process leading to three lung diseases, which include emphysema, fibrosis and sarcoidosis; all of which are described as "inflammatory lung diseases." The investigators will be using the data from this study to help define the normal values for the measured properties as well as deviation from normal values in smokers without defined lung disease and patients with inflammatory lung disease. The investigators believe that the analysis and scanning techniques being developed as part of this research will provide new and previously unavailable information on normal and diseased lungs so that ultimately the investigators can detect specific changes in the lungs due to a disease and measure any improvements in the anatomy and/or function of the pulmonary system after a patient has undergone treatment. This study involves research using X-Ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, which is similar to previous CT scanners but operates much faster and provides finer image detail.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Pulmonary Function Test, CT Scans and Questionnaires in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Eric A. Hoffman at 1 site in United States.

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 9 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 22 Jan 2019. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Normal lung aging assessed by CT imaging (time frame: up to 10 years). 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 22 Jan 2019.
