Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: 1. COPD patients with significant smoking history * FEV1/FVC <0.7 in spirometry * Smoking history at least 30 pack-year 2. COPD patients without significant smoking history * FEV1/FVC <0.7 in spirometry * No smoking history or smoking history at less than 0.5 pack-year 3. Healthy smoker * FEV1/FVC ≥0.7 in spirometry * Smoking history at least 30 pack-year

Who may be able to join

  • COPD Patients, defined by FEV1/FVC <0.7, who
  • agree with informed consent
  • have no history of acute exacerbation within 3 months
  • Healthy smoker without airflow limitation, defined by FEV1/FVC ≥0.7, who
  • have smoking history with at least 30 pack-year
  • agree with informed consent
  • do not use medication for chronic respiratory disease

Who cannot join

  • Withdrawal of informed consent
  • History of acute exacerbation or antibiotics use within 3 months
  • Difficulty to collect adequate stool, sputum and blood samples

About this study

The goal of this observational registry study is to compare characteristics of gut and sputum microbiome and metabolome among COPD patients with significant smoking history, COPD patients without significant smoking history and healthy smoker. Additionally, the investigators investigate the difference of blood metabolites and peripheral blood mononuclear cells level among groups.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Are there significant difference in fecal or sputum microbiome and metabolome between COPD patients and healthy smoker?
  • Are there any distinct characteristics in microbiome and metabolome in COPD with COPD patients with significant smoking history, COPD patients without significant smoking history compared with healthy smoker?
  • Are there any difference in blood metabolites and peripheral blood mononuclear cells levels among patients with significant smoking history, COPD patients without significant smoking history and healthy smoker
  • Might distinct characteristics of microbiome and metabolites in COPD patients be related to worse clinical outcomes in COPD patients?

What is being measured

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

  1. Shannon diversity index

    the investigators will compare alpha diversity and community similarity among groups by using the Shannon diversity index.

    Measured: At enrollment

  2. Simpson index

    the investigators will compare alpha diversity and community similarity among groups by using the Simpson index.

    Measured: At enrollment

  3. Principal component analysis

    the investigators will compare beta diversity and community similarity among groups by using the principal component analysis.

    Measured: At enrollment

  4. Microbiome composition by metagenomic analysis

    The composition of microbiome will be presented as bar graph.

    Measured: At enrollment

  5. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells level

    the investigators will compare the Peripheral blood mononuclear cells level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  6. Acetic acid level

    the investigators will compare the acetic acid level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  7. Propionic acid level

    the investigators will compare the Propionic acid level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  8. Isobutyric acid level

    the investigators will compare the Isobutyric acid level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  9. Butyric acid level

    the investigators will compare the butyric acid level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  10. Isovaleric acid level

    the investigators will compare the Isovaleric acid level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  11. Valeric acid level

    the investigators will compare the valeric acid level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  12. dimethylglycine level

    the investigators will compare the dimethylglycine level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

  13. secondary bile acid level

    the investigators will compare the secondary bile acid level among groups

    Measured: At enrollment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Difference of microbiome according to Exacerbation

    the investigators will investigate the baseline difference of microbiome between COPD patients with moderate to severe exacerbation and COPD patients without moderate to severe exacerbation

    Measured: within 1 year after enrollment

  2. Difference of metabolome according to Exacerbation

    the investigators will investigate the baseline difference of metabolome between COPD patients with moderate to severe exacerbation and COPD patients without moderate to severe exacerbation

    Measured: within 1 year after enrollment

  3. Difference of microbiome according to death

    the investigators will investigate the baseline difference of microbiome between COPD patients with death and COPD patients without death

    Measured: within 1 year after enrollment

  4. Difference of metabolome according to death

    the investigators will investigate the baseline difference of metabolome between COPD patients with death and COPD patients without death

    Measured: within 1 year after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Asan Medical Center.

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 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Shannon diversity index (time frame: At enrollment). The study lists 13 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 26 Oct 2023.
