Phenotype Assessment of Blood and Airway Eosinophils in Patients With COPD and Asthma

An observational study of COPD Asthma and Eosinophilic Asthma, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Around 1/3 of patients with COPD have elevated eosinophil levels. However, the role of eosinophils in COPD has not been yet understood and is probably different in COPD and in asthma. Read more about this study

About this study

Around 1/3 of patients with COPD have elevated eosinophil levels. However, the role of eosinophils in COPD has not been yet understood and is probably different in COPD and in asthma. The aim of this study was to assess the expression of selected surface markers on eosinophils and to assess the gene expression in eosinophils in COPD and asthma patients. We are planning to enrol 12 COPD, 12 asthma and 12 control subjects. Patients will undergo routine clinical assessment, spirometry, blood sampling and sputum induction. Eosinophils will be isolated from blood and sputum. Surface markers on eosinophils will be assessed in flow cytometry, gene expression will be assessed by RNAseq.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD Asthma and Eosinophilic Asthma, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 31 May 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 Poland. 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 Katarzyna Gorska, MD PhD (22 599 27 53, drkpgorska@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

expression of surface markers (time frame: performed up to 3 months after blood and sputum collection). 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 31 May 2022.
