About this study

Official title: Reduced Exercise Capacity in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease -Relevance of Cardiovascular Comorbidities

In this study, cardiopulmonary exercise will be assessed to characterize the relevance of severity of COPD and coexisting cardiovascular comorbidities for exercise capacity.

Read the detailed description

In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the interpretation of dyspnoea also needs to consider coexisting cardiovascular disease. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used to characterize pulmonary and cardiac function and limitations during exercise. The investigators hypothesise that cardiopulmonary exercise is reduced in COPD patients with coexisting cardiovascular disease as well as in more symptomatic patients and in patients with frequent exacerbations. For this purpose, 100 patients with with stable COPD are characterized by clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, lung function, electrocardiography, echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of oxygen uptake during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (% predicted)

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. measurement of dyspnoea quantified by the COPD assessment test as well as the modified Medical Research Council Scale

    For the assessment of the symptoms of the study group and its relation to exercise capacity dyspnoea is assessed by accepted questionnaires typically used for COPD patients at baseline

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Measurement of FEV1

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Measurement the capillary pO2 in mmHg and capillary pCO2 at baseline

    The blood gases pO2 and pCO2 are taken from the hyperaemic ear lobe to characterize the gas exchange during cardiopulmonary exercise which is a routine procedure

    Measured: Baseline

  4. N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptid (NTproBNP) in ng/L from peripheral venous blood at baseline

    NTproBNP is analysed from peripheral venous blood to characterize potential heart failure and its relation to exercise capacity of the study subjects

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Measurement of Maximum wattage during cardiopulmonary exercise testing

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Measurement of Breathing reserve during cardiopulmonary exercise testing

    BThe breathing reserve in % is assessed at the end of the cardiopulmonary exercise testing to characterize a ventilatory limitation of the exercise test. It is calculated as percent from the minute ventilation in relation to the maximum mandatory ventilation. The measurement is a routine measurement during cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

    Measured: Baseline

  7. Measurement of Oxygen pulse during cardiopulmonary exercise testing

    Measured: Baseline

  8. Presence of cardiovascular comorbidities

    For the cardiopulmonary characterization clinical characteristics, lung function, blood gases, laboratory investigation, ECG and echocardiography were used in addition to cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Klinik für Kardiologie, Pneumologie und Angiologie at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 11 Feb 2020. 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 Germany. 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 Stefanie Keymel, MD (+492118118800, ctsu@med.uni-duesseldorf.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of oxygen uptake during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (% predicted) (time frame: Baseline). 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 11 Feb 2020.
