| Study acronym | CPET in COPD |
| Study objectives | 1. Gas exchange data assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) will provide profound prognostic and clinically relevant data to sub-classify patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 2. Different predefined standardised exercise protocols wont show relevant differences concerning CPET results in the assessment of COPD patients Please note that as of 23/06/2008 the funder and sponsor of this trial was changed to Ambulantes pneumologisches Zentrum GbR (Germany). Previous sponsor details can be found under the interventions section. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from the Ethics Committee of the Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald on the 31st July 2007 (ref: BB48/07). |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) |
| Intervention | Patients suffering from COPD (according to the GOLD criteria classified as stage III and IV) will undergo CPET according to a standardised exercise protocol. In addition to the previous obtained spirometric and bodyplethysmographic data, a number of CPET data will be investigated. Based on this CPET data the aim of the study is to sub-classify patients into clinical and prognostic groups. The data of gas exchange during exercise might provide further insights in the exercise limiting disease related factors. The impact of the data might result in a new sub-classification of patients with severe COPD.
