Trial summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease that is characterized by respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases.

About this study

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease that is characterized by respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. the CT was used for classification of COPD patients into different phenotypes: phenotype A that has minimal emphysema with or without airway disease, phenotype E that has emphysema without airway disease, and finally phenotype M as a mixed form. The investigators aimed to to identify the phenotypes of COPD using radiologic data obtained by computed tomography. Moreover, this study will be designed to answer the questions about possible correlation between pulmonary function parameters and CT.

What participants receive

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

  • CT chestRadiation

    All patients will undergo MSCT chest at both inspiratory and expiratory phases in supine position without any contrast media.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identifying the different phenotypes of COPD using HRCT

    Identifying the different phenotypes of COPD using HRCT. moreover, to identify whether there is a possible correlation between CT phenotypes and FEV1, FVC or FEV1/FVC.

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD, run by Aswan 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2024. 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?

Identifying the different phenotypes of COPD using HRCT (time frame: one month). 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 NCT05747235, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Feb 2024.
