Eosinopenia and Recovery in Severe COPD Exacerbation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is looking at people admitted to the hospital for a severe COPD flare-up. It checks if a low level of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood is linked to how quickly you recover from the flare-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to the hospital because your COPD suddenly worsened (a flare-up).
- You have smoked at least 1 pack of cigarettes per day for 10 years (10 pack-years).
- You have a breathing test (spirometry) result showing your FEV1/FVC ratio is below 0.7.
- You are able to understand the study and give signed permission (informed consent).
- You do NOT have asthma, active cancer, a parasitic or serious fungal infection, or take certain steroids or biologics that affect eosinophils.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) work better for COPD patients with different eosinophil levels. You must already be taking two long-acting bronchodilators and have stopped smoking for at least 6 months.
This study uses a simple blood test to help doctors decide if people having a COPD flare-up need antibiotics or steroids. It may help you get the right treatment faster and avoid unnecessary medications.
This study looks at how common a certain type of white blood cell (eosinophil) is in people with COPD during a flare-up, and whether it affects how they do over time. It may help doctors learn if measuring eosinophils can guide treatment for COPD flare-ups.
This study looks at how eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, relate to chronic lung conditions. It tests whether higher eosinophil levels are linked to certain types of lung disease, without the influence of steroids or antifibrotic drugs.
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) flare-ups (sudden worsening of symptoms). It aims to help people who come to the emergency room with a COPD flare-up get better care and follow-up.
This study looks at how certain immune cells (eosinophils) work in people with asthma. It compares people with mild to severe asthma, including those who have or haven't taken biologic treatments, against people without asthma. The goal is to better understand asthma and find new ways to treat it.
