Predicting worsening COPD in severe patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study builds a tool to predict which COPD patients are likely to have worsening symptoms. It may help your doctor better manage your care if you have severe COPD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with COPD and your lung function is severe or very severe (GOLD stage 3 or 4).
- You are over 40 years old.
- Your COPD has been stable for at least 4 weeks without a flare-up.
- You have not used certain breathing medications (short-acting within 24 hours, long-acting within 48 hours) or steroids in the past month.
- You do not have asthma, active tuberculosis, serious lung scarring, other major health problems, or a history of gut surgery.
