About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Relationship Between Right Atrial Volume Index, Functional Capacity and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and Right Heart Affection.

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Assessment of RV function by echocardiography is challenging. Easy visualization of the right atrium (RA) by echocardiography , allows quantitative, highly reproducible assessment of RA volume. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between the right atrial volume index (RAVI) and functional capacity in patients with COPD , quantified by the COPD assessment test (CAT) questionnaire as an early predictor of right heart affection.

Read the detailed description
  1. Approval will be obtained from Research Ethics Committee of Faculty of Pharmacy, Damanhour University.
  2. All participants agreed to take part in this clinical study and provide informed consent.
  3. Patients who were selected from patients visited Chest Department or attending Chest outpatient clinic of Tanta University Hospitals, Echocardiography was done in the Cardiology Department..
  4. Complete physical and laboratory assessment will be done for all patients.
  5. Serum samples will be collected for measuring the biomarkers.
  6. 150 patients with COPD and preserved left ventricular systolic function, ejection fraction (LVEF) > 55% will enrolled. The RA volume calculated by biplane area length method using four chamber view twice and indexed to body surface area (RAVI). Assessment of RV systolic function was done using tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and peak systolic velocity (S'tri) using tissue Doppler imaging at the tricuspid annulus. The functional capacity was assessed by the COPD assessment test (CAT) questionnaire.
  7. For each participant, blood samples were obtained and levels of adiponectin, IL-1B, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and Neopterin will be determined in all studied subjects.
  8. Statistical tests appropriate to the study design will be conducted to evaluate the significance of the results.
  9. Results, conclusion, discussion and recommendations will be given.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ECHODiagnostic test

    Conventional routine tests and ECHO will be assessed. Biomarkers will be measured using ELISA The functional capacity was assessed by the COPD assessment test (CAT) questionnaire.

Study groups in NCT05366400
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group I (CAT) ≥ 10CAT is an eight-item questionnaire with a six-item Likert scale ranging from 0 to 5. The score ranges from zero (completely asymptomatic) to 40 (extremely symptomatic). A CAT score ≥10 is associated with a significantly impaired health status.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: ECHO
Group II (CAT) < 10CAT is an eight-item questionnaire with a six-item Likert scale ranging from 0 to 5. The score ranges from zero (completely asymptomatic) to 40 (extremely symptomatic). A CAT score < 10 is associated with a significantly preserved health status.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: ECHO

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD and Right Heart Failure, run by Damanhour 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 0 inclusion and 1 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 19 May 2023. 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?

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?

RAVI (ml/m2) (time frame: 3 month). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05366400, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 19 May 2023.
