About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity to Nitric Oxide and Carbon Monoxide During Exercise in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: a Test-retest Reliability Study

The combined measurement of the pulmonary diffusing capacity to carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) (DLCO/NO) during exercise may be a useful physiological measure of alveolar-capillary reserve in patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study investigated the test-retest reliability of DLCO/NO-based metrics.

Read the detailed description

The combined measurement of the pulmonary diffusing capacity to carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) (DLCO/NO) has recently been standardised and validated for clinical use. It is thus ideal for assessing acute changes in pulmonary diffusing capacity and its components during various physiological manoeuvres. These changes are thought to involve acute changes in pulmonary perfusion and are notably relevant for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in which they may be related to exertional dyspnoea. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of acute exercise on pulmonary diffusing capacity, and to determine the day-to-day repeatability of such assessments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acute exercise in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 2 sites in Denmark.

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 3 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 21 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. 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 Ronan Berg, MD (+45-35451825, ronan.martin.griffin.berg@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rest-to-exercise change in DLNO (time frame: Measured at day 1 and day 2). The study lists 35 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 21 Nov 2022.
