About this study

Official title: Effects of Chinese Medicine on Patients With Severe Acute Exacerbation of COPD:A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-parallel Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Chinese Medicine on patients with severe AECOPD, and to provide a basis for the establishment of integrated CM and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment scheme for patients with severe AECOPD.

Read the detailed description

Aiming at the key problems such as the lack of high-quality clinical research evidence of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of severe AECOPD, this study adopted a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial design, taking 468 severe AECOPD patients as the research object, to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine combined with western medicine in the treatment of severe AECOPD. To establish an integrated Chinese and western medicine diagnosis and treatment plan to reduce the treatment failure rate of severe AECOPD patients, and to form high-level evidence-based evidence.

Being tested
Sanhan Huayin recipe, Qingre Huatan recipe or Zaoshi Huatan recipe, Sanhan Huayin recipe placebo, Qingre Huatan recipe placebo or Zaoshi Huatan recipe placebo

What participants receive

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

  • Sanhan Huayin recipe, Qingre Huatan recipe or Zaoshi Huatan recipeDrug

    On the basis of conventional treatment of western medicine,the experimental group will be given Sanhan Huayin granule , Qingre Huatan granule or Zaoshi Huatan granule based on CM syndrome differentiation.Take 1 dose daily for 10 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment failure rate

    The number of treatment failures in both groups during the study period was measured. Treatment failure was defined as the following: (1) the need for or receipt of tracheal intubation or invasive mechanical ventilation during hospitalization, or (2) the need for or transfer to an intensive care unit during hospitalization, or (3) the duration of hospitalization for the current acute exacerbation of COPD for more than 14 days, or (4) death during hospitalization or within 30 days after discharge, or (5) readmission for an acute exacerbation of COPD within 30 days after discharge.

    Measured: During the 10 days treatment period and the 3 months follow-up period.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The COPD Assessment Test(CAT)

    The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is an 8-item questionnaire that assesses health status in patients with COPD. The questionnaire uses a 0-5 point scale, with higher values indicating a greater impact of COPD on the patient.

    Measured: Changes in baseline CAT scores at day 10 of the treatment period and at 1 and 3 months of follow-up.

  2. The number and severity of acute exacerbations

    The number and severity of acute exacerbations during the follow-up period.

    Measured: Within 3 months of follow-up period.

  3. Readmission rate of acute exacerbations

    The number of readmissions due to acute exacerbations during the follow-up period.

    Measured: Within 3 months of follow-up period.

  4. The time to the first exacerbation of COPD

    The time to the first COPD exacerbation during the study period.

    Measured: Within 3 months of follow-up period.

  5. Dyspnea score

    The modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale (mMRC) will be used to assess severity of dyspnea. The mMRC scale is a 4-point (0-4) scale. "0" means no dyspnea perception, "4" means severe dyspnea perception.

    Measured: Changes in baseline mMRC scores at days 4, 7, and 10 of the treatment period and at 1 and 3 months of follow-up.

  6. COPD Acute exacerbation tool (EXACT) score

    The EXAcerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Disease Tool (EXACT) is a questionnaire that assesses symptoms in patients with COPD. The questionnaire is on a scale from 0 to 5, with higher values indicating a greater impact of COPD on the patient.

    Measured: 0 and 10 days in the treatment period, 1 and 3 months in the follow-up period.

  7. Length of hospital stay

    Through study /treatment phase completion,an average of 10 days.

    Measured: During the 10 days treatment period and the 3 months follow-up period.

  8. Antibacterial application time

    The antibacterial application time of each group of subjects was counted.

    Measured: During the 10 days treatment period and the 3 months follow-up period.

  9. Endotracheal intubation rate

    The number of endotracheal intubation cases in the two groups during the treatment period was calculated.

    Measured: In 10 days of the treatment period.

  10. Case fatality rate

    The number of deaths due to AECOPD in the two groups during the study period was counted.

    Measured: During the 10 days treatment period and the 3 months follow-up period.
