About this study

The objective of this multicentre prospective study is to validate CAPTURE as a French case finding tool for undiagnosed patients suffering from obstructive pulmonary disease.

Read the detailed description

A large number of healthcare professional across the country will screen participants.

Participants willing to participate will have a short interview, and then will have to answer the 5-item CAPTURE questionnaire. They will be assisted to perform a peak expiratory flow measurement with a portable device. The comparison will be made between the CAPTURE decision and a portable spirometry assessing the presence or not of an obstructive disorder.

Patient screened either by the tool or the spirometry will be addressed to a doctor. Follow-up at 6 months will be set up in order to assess the entry or not of those patients to an approved health care pathway.

At the end of each center's participation, a questionnaire will be sent to all healthcare professionals working on the study, to assess the ease of use of spirometry and the CAPTURE tool and its possible implementation in clinical practice.

What participants receive

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

  • CAPTURE toolOther

    CAPTURE 5-item questionnaire and a selected use of peak expiratory flow measurement.

  • SpirometryOther

    Spirometry performed with a portable device, used for comparison with the CAPTURE tool.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Participants aged 40 or more, without diagnosis of COPD or asthmaMen and women attending aged 40 or more, without previous diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma.
Receives: Other: CAPTURE tool; Other: Spirometry

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve of the CAPTURE tool

    Sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve of the CAPTURE tool; i.e. its ability to identify undiagnosed patients with an obstructive ventilatory disorder assessed with a portable spirometry.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of patients who have taken steps to enter a healthcare pathway 6 months after the referral to a doctor

    Number of patients screened by the CAPTURE tool who have taken steps to enter a healthcare pathway 6 months after the referral to a doctor, i.e. the impact of the screening process at 6 months on patient diagnosis, management and follow-up.

    Measured: 6 months after

  2. Primary care investigators' opinion of the CAPTURE tool used in this study

    Responses on a Likert scale from all investigators to a questionnaire on the easiness of use of spirometry and CAPTURE tool and its implementation in clinical practice once each center's inclusions had been completed.

    Measured: Baseline to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Lung Diseases, Obstructive, run by Groupe Hospitalier du Havre 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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jan 2026. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Futility analysis showed that the probability to validate out hypothesis was near from 15%). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve of the CAPTURE tool (time frame: Baseline). 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 Jan 2026.
