Trial summary

The identification of bronchiectasis in COPD has been defined as a different clinical COPD phenotype with greater symptomatic severity, more frequent chronic bronchial infection and exacerbations, and poor prognosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of and Prognostic Impact of Bronchiectasis in COPD Patients

The identification of bronchiectasis in COPD has been defined as a different clinical COPD phenotype with greater symptomatic severity, more frequent chronic bronchial infection and exacerbations, and poor prognosis. A causal association has not yet been proven, but it is biologically plausible that COPD, and particularly the infective and exacerbator COPD phenotypes, could be the cause of bronchiectasis without any other known etiology, beyond any mere association or comorbidity.

Read the detailed description

The relationship between bronchiectasis and COPD has generated several questions. Is there any real increased prevalence of bronchiectasis in patients with COPD? Does the presence of bronchiectasis have an impact on the clinical characteristics, prognosis, or response to treatment in COPD, to the extent that it can be considered a distinct clinical phenotype? Should bronchiectasis in patients with COPD be seen as merely a comorbidity, or as a consequence of the disease's natural history? Is there a causal relationship between COPD and bronchiectasis? If this is the case, what are the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for this relationship? And, finally, what is the role of chronic bronchial infection and exacerbations in this relationship?

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Bronchiectasis in COPD

    percentage of bronchiectasis diagnosed by CT chest in COPD patients

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. impact of bronchiectasis on COPD exacerbations

    number of exacerbations treated in or out of hospitals

    Measured: 1 year

  2. impact of bronchiectasis on COPD hospitalization

    number of hospital admissions with acute exacerbations

    Measured: 1 year

  3. impact of bronchiectasis on COPD intensive care admission

    number of admissions in respiratory ICU and need for mechanical or non invasive ventilation

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis and Chronic Obstruct Airways Disease, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 24 Sep 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 Egypt. 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 Aliae Mohamed-Hussein (01222302352 ext. 002, aliaehussein@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of Bronchiectasis in COPD (time frame: 1 year). 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 24 Sep 2019.
