Study information

Study designDouble-blind placebo controlled parallel intervention study
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleThe effect of nutritional supplementation as adjunct to exercise training on resting and exercise-induced oxidative stress, muscle function and exercise capacity in severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients
Study acronymROXCEN
Study objectivesDaily ingestion of a nutritional supplement enriched with antioxidants during eight weeks pulmonary rehabilitation results in a decreased oxidative stress in rest and after exercise in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients compared to an iso-caloric placebo.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Ethical Commission of the METC of Maastricht on the 19th September 2007 (ref: NL17788.068.07/MEC 07-3-066).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
InterventionNutritional supplement enriched with antioxidants versus iso-caloric placebo.
Intervention typeSupplement
Primary outcome measureTo assess the effect of daily ingestion of a nutritional supplement enriched with antioxidants during eight weeks pulmonary rehabilitation on resting and exercise-induced oxidative stress in COPD patients compared to an iso-caloric placebo. Oxidative stress will be measured by specific biomarkers in exhaled air, breath condensate, urine and venous blood, measured at the start of the rehabilitation and after eight weeks.
Secondary outcome measuresTo examine the effects of daily ingestion of a nutritional supplement enriched with antioxidants during pulmonary rehabilitation on respiratory and skeletal muscle strength and exercise capacity in COPD patients, measured at the start of the rehabilitation and after eight weeks.
