Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of FeNO to Identify Eosinophilic Inflammation in Patients Age 40 Years and Above With Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease (NCT NCT01634620)

NCT ID: NCT01634620

Last Updated: 2014-02-12

Results Overview

Spirometry values were collected according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines (ATS, 2005). In the event that spirometry preceded forced exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurements, a wait of not less than 20 minutes was imposed to separate the two procedures. Parameters measured were Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Flow 25-75 (FEF15%-75%), Forced Expiratory Flow 50 (FEF50), and Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF). Spirometry measures the severity of a patient's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with lower scores indicating more severe COPD.

Forced exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) was measured using a NIOX MINO device. The purpose of this study was to characterize FeNO levels indicative of eosinophilic airway inflammation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The principal investigator classified subjects into one of four stages of severity using the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) severity of COPD stages, with Stage I representing mild COPD severity, Stage II representing moderate COPD severity, Stage III representing severe COPD severity, and Stage IV representing very severe COPD severity (GOLD guidelines, 2012). FeNO levels (in parts per billion or ppb) are summarized for subjects within each category.

Forced exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) was measured using a NIOX MINO device. Subjects are categorized by low (\<25 parts per billion or ppb), moderate (\>=25 ppb or \<=50 ppb), or high \>50 ppb. Based on medical history, subjects were given an Internation Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) code for concurrent diseases. Of interest, FeNO levels were characterized for subjects coded with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Asthma, COPD and Emphysema, and then by all other concurrent diseases.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Single Visit

Population: Per-protocol Population

Forced exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) was measured using a NIOX MINO device. Based on medical history, subjects were given an International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) code for concurrent diseases. Of interest, FeNO levels were characterized for subjects coded with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Asthma, COPD and Emphysema, and then by all other concurrent diseases.
