Trial summary

Spirometry is now the gold standard technique for assessing lung function in humans. From the shape of a flow-volume curve measured while the patient, trained by the practitioner, performs forced breaths, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) can be deduced and the… Read more about this study

About this study

Spirometry is now the gold standard technique for assessing lung function in humans. From the shape of a flow-volume curve measured while the patient, trained by the practitioner, performs forced breaths, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) can be deduced and the pulmonologist is able to detect and characterize respiratory diseases as well as to evaluate current treatments. This technique is non-invasive and simple. It is widely available, robust, reproducible and sensitive to intervention. However, it requires proactive cooperation from the patient and only measures global pulmonary ventilation, without locoregional information.

An innovative strategy and an original study framework have been developed in the BioMaps laboratory to establish local maps of flow-volume curves across the lung and to jointly analyze ventilatory function and mechanical behavior at any point in the lung: 3D magnetic resonance spirometry. As respiratory mechanics fundamentally supports ventilatory function, this technique should open a new avenue to non-invasively explore lung function while providing a better diagnosis of regional lung diseases.

What participants receive

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

  • 1. Standard spirometryDiagnostic test

    Spirometry is performed in two positions (sitting and supine) and three types of breathing (spontaneous, forced and slow).

  • 2. 3D dynamic lung MRI at UTE in prone and supine positionsDiagnostic test

    Dynamic lung MRI is performed for 3D MR spirometry while the subject is lying prone and supine before a reversibility test with salbutamol.

  • 3. Reversibility test with salbutamolDrug

    Reversibility test with salbutamol administered using a pressurized metered dose bottle and an inhalation chamber at a dosage of 100 μg, 4 times (i.e., 400 μg in total).

  • 4. 3D dynamic lung MRI at UTE in supine and prone positionDiagnostic test

    Dynamic lung MRI is performed for 3D MR spirometry while the subject is lying prone and supine after the bronchodilatator's administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between (1) spontaneous expiratory volume in 1 s (SEV1) and tidal volume (TV) and (2) FEV1 and FVC

    SEV1 and TV are extracted from the flow-volume curve calculated by integration over the whole lung of the local flow-volume curves obtained by 3D MR spirometry and FEV1 and FVC extracted from the flow-volume curve obtained by standard spirometry

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Difference of expiratory volume in 1 s (SEV1) and tidal volume (TV) between the left and right lungs

    SEV1 and TV are extracted from the integrated flow-volume curves over the left and right lungs

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Difference in expiratory volume in 1 s (SEV1) and tidal volume (TV) for the anterior-posterior, inferior-superior and medial-lateral lung regions

    SEV1 and TV are extracted from the integrated flow-volume curves over the anterior-posterior, inferior-superior and medial-lateral lung regions

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1. Standard spirometry, 2. 3D dynamic lung MRI at UTE in prone and supine positions and 3. Reversibility test with salbutamol in people with Asthma and COPD, run by Commissariat A L'energie Atomique 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 26 inclusion and 0 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact MARTINS Bernadette (+33169087460, bernadette.martins@cea.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between (1) spontaneous expiratory volume in 1 s (SEV1) and tidal volume (TV) and (2) FEV1 and FVC (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 3 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?
