COPD Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People who have been admitted to hospital with a flare-up of COPD (a lung condition often caused by smoking) as their main diagnosis
• People who have a smoking history of at least 10 pack years (this is a measure of how much someone has smoked over time — confirm with trial site if unsure how this applies)
• People who have confirmed airflow blockage in their lungs, shown by a specific breathing test result (called FEV1/FVC ratio below 0.7), either from a past test or one done during the hospital stay
• People who are able to understand and agree to take part in the trial by giving informed consent

Who may not be able to join:

• People who have a parasitic infection, a serious fungal infection (not including nail or skin infections), or certain conditions that cause high levels of a type of blood cell called eosinophils (such as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis or hypereosinophilic syndrome)
• People who currently have an active cancer
• People who regularly take steroid tablets (such as prednisolone) or other systemic steroids, or who take medications that affect eosinophil levels (including a type of treatment called anti-interleukin 5 therapy)
• People who have poor vein access, making blood draws difficult
• People who have a confirmed history of asthma, as determined by the trial investigator
• People who have other health conditions (unrelated to COPD) that the lead investigator believes could interfere with the study being carried out properly

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
