Exploring Novel Biomarkers for Emphysema Detection

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether voice or capnometry, alone or in combination with other (non invasive) biomarkers can be used to detect emphysema on chest CT-scan in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Can a machine-learning based algorithm be developed that can classify the extent of emphysema on chest CT scan from patients with COPD, based on voice and/or capnometry. Participants will: - perform different voice-related tasks - perform capnometry twice (before/after exercise) - perform a light exercise task between tasks ( 5-sit-to-stand test) - undergo one venipuncture

Clinical Trial Description

This is a cross sectional, single center study. At the clinic, patients with COPD will be invited to perform several voice related tasks (paced reading, sustained vowels, cough, quiet breathing) and will be instructed to perform capnometry measurements. These measurements will be performed before and after a light exercise task (5-STS: 5-sit-to-stand test). Clinical characterisation of patients including pulmonary function tests (spirometry, body plethysmography, diffusion capacity) and CT scans have been performed in all patients as a part of routine workup in the COPD care pathway. Emphysema will be quantified as low attenuation areas with a density below -950 Hounsfield units (HU) using Syngovia (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). The primary outcome will fit a simple machine learning classification model (e.g. using logistic regression, support vector machines, random forests and/or decision tree) to classify logistic regression model for the outcome of emphysema (>25% vs ≤ 25%) from speech features and capnometry. with explanatory variables of speech features. Similar classification methods with incremental models using capnography features will be explored. Prior to carrying out the above analyses, data has to be pre-processed, including merging data, quality control, handling of missing data and feature extraction. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
