About this study

Official title: Study of Cytokine Response During Exercise Dyspnea in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Effect of Body Composition

Dyspnea, more commonly known as breathlessness, is a symptom found in the majority of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with a major impact on quality of life and mortality.

COPD is a chronic inflammatory disease of the bronchi, affecting 8% of the French population (more than 3 million people). By 2030, it will be the third leading cause of death worldwide. Effective management of dyspnea in these patients is a priority.

In patients with severe COPD, physical exertion increases the workload of breathing, leading to dyspnea. At the same time, the respiratory muscles and fatty cells release cytokines, myokines and adipokines - a group of proteins involved in the inflammatory response. In addition, 15% of COPD patients suffer from sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and strength) which increases respiratory effort and dyspnea.

Our research project aims to study the effect of dyspnea relief in COPD patients on cytokine, myokine and adipokine levels, taking into account the presence of sarcopenia. Indeed, it is possible to alleviate the workload of the respiratory muscles during exercise by means of respiratory assistance.

The ultimate goal is a better understanding of dyspnea mechanisms, to enable the development of cytokine-targeted therapies and improve quality of life and survival in these patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Effective noninvasive ventilationDevice

    Noninvasive ventilation set to alleviate dyspnea Inspiratory aid set according to a preliminary test (aiming for a diminution of 2 points in Borg score)

  • Sham noninvasive ventilationDevice

    Noninvasive ventilation set with an insufficient inspiratory aid to alleviate dyspnea

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation in exercise-induced release of cytokines IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-alpha plasma concentrations (pg/mL) between the two ventilatory conditions (sham and effective)

    Measured: At rest = baseline / right after the end of exercice / 45 minutes after the end of exercice

  2. Variation in exercise-induced release of adipokines adiponectin and leptin concentrations (pg/mL) between the two ventilatory conditions (sham and effective)

    Measured: At rest = baseline / right after the end of exercice / 45 minutes after the end of exercice

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. For each ventilatory condition, study of correlation between dyspnea descriptors (Borg scale score, Multidimensional Dyspnea Profil score) and cytokines, adipokines and myokines plasma concentrations (pg/mL)

    Measured: At rest = baseline / right after the end of exercice / 45 minutes after the end of exercice

  2. For each ventilatory condition, study of correlation between muscle mass (kg) and cytokines, adipokines and myokines plasma concentrations (pg/mL).

    Measured: At rest = baseline / right after the end of exercice / 45 minutes after the end of exercice

  3. For each ventilatory condition, study of correlation between fat mass (kg) and cytokines, adipokines and myokines plasma concentrations (pg/mL).

    Measured: At rest = baseline / right after the end of exercice / 45 minutes after the end of exercice

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Effective noninvasive ventilation in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Severe and Dyspnea, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 7 inclusion and 7 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 29 Jan 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Lise Laclautre (0473751195, promo_interne_drci@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Variation in exercise-induced release of cytokines IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-alpha plasma concentrations (pg/mL) between the two ventilatory conditions (sham and effective) (time frame: At rest = baseline / right after the end of exercice / 45 minutes after the end of exercice). The study lists 2 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 29 Jan 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
