About this study

The purpose of the LINQ™ for COPD study is to characterize Reveal LINQ™ derived data from patients with COPD by assessing the relationship between changes in LINQ™ derived data with COPD exacerbation events.

Read the detailed description

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is progressive and currently incurable and refers to a collection of diseases that lead to the key feature of irreversible airflow limitation and breathing related problems. Of those with COPD, 46% experienced at least one exacerbation within the previous year and 19% needed hospitalization. The financial burden of COPD is also evident, in that over $32 billion was spent for COPD care in the United States in 2010 and it is expected to be close to $50 billion in 2020.

Reducing healthcare utilization associated with COPD patient management (i.e. short-term readmission and chronic disease management) is a critically important unmet need for patients, caregivers, and hospitals. Early detection, prevention, and treatment of COPD exacerbation would aim to reduce this high morbidity and cost. To help reduce these exacerbations and improve disease management, sensors in a minimally invasive device can be used to identify factors that are associated with exacerbations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 9 sites 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 7 inclusion and 19 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 26 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

COPD Event (time frame: from subject randomization until 12 month follow-up). 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 26 Oct 2024.
