About this study

This is a prospective interventional study to determine whether the profile of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in exhaled air (VOLATOLOM) is reproducible in stable severe COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients.

Read the detailed description

After being informed about the study, all patients giving written informed consent and meeting the eligibility criteria will undergo 4 visits spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

The first visit V1 will be about 45 minutes duration. The others ones (V2 to V4) will be about 30 minutes duration.

All sessions will be carried out in the Pneumology Department of the Foch Hospital, volatolomics platform (Exhalomics®).

Exhalation collection will be performed at each visit in order to perform the volatolom analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volatolom measurements by mass spectrometry

    Analysis of the volatolom by mass spectrometry for stable severe COPD patients during four successive visits, 4 to 6 weeks apart.

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Volatolom measurements by electronic-noses

    Analysis of the volatolom by electronic noses for stable severe COPD patients during four successive visits, 4 to 6 weeks apart.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Differences in the profiles of VOCs in the exhaled air according to the smoking habits

    Analyze the differences in the exhaled VOCs prints generated by the eNoses and mass spectrometry data processed with the ptairMS R package (https://github.com/camilleroquencourt/ptairMS) according to smoking habits (ex-smokers versus active smokers),

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Differences in the profiles of VOCs in the exhaled air according to the background therapy

    Analyze the differences in the exhaled VOCs prints generated by the eNoses and mass spectrometry data processed with the ptairMS R package (https://github.com/camilleroquencourt/ptairMS) according to the backgrounf therapy (with or without antibiotic/ oral corticosteroid therapy...)

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Compare VOCs profiles in the exhaled air to those of patients with exhacerbated COPD (VOC-BPCO-Exa study sponsored by Hopital Foch)

    Comparison of the exhaled VOCs prints generated by the eNoses and mass spectrometry data processed with the ptairMS R package (https://github.com/camilleroquencourt/ptairMS) determined from severe COPD patients at stable state included in the study versus VOCs profiles of patients with exhacerbated COPD (VOC-BPCO-Exa study sponsored by Hopital Foch)

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Compare VOCs profiles in the exhaled air to those of healthy subjects smokers or non-smokers (VOLATOPNEE study sponsored by Hopital Foch)

    Comparison of the exhaled VOCs prints generated by the eNoses and mass spectrometry data processed with the ptairMS R package (https://github.com/camilleroquencourt/ptairMS) determined from severe COPD patients at stable state included in the study versus VOCs profiles of healthy subjects smokers or non-smokers (VOLATOPNEE study sponsored by Hopital Foch)

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VOC analysis in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Severe, run by Hopital Foch 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 10 inclusion and 7 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 28 Jan 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Philippe Devillier, MD PhD (0146252791 ext. +33, p.devillier@hopital-foch.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Volatolom measurements by mass spectrometry (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Jan 2022.
