Clinical Trial Summary

Hypothesis:

COPD patients with frequent exacerbations have different pulmonary and systemic immune response than COPD patients without frequent exacerbations and this is related to their microbiome.


Description:

The objective of this project is to determine the pulmonary microbiome and its relationship with the pulmonary and systemic inmune response in COPD patients with frequent (FE) and non frequent exacerbations (NE).

1. The pulmonary immune response.

-The role of mucins, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) as lung defense mechanisms and their possible relationship with the microbiome in COPD and FE patients.

2. The systemic immune response. -The pulmonary and blood inflammatory response and circulating bacterial products as markers of the systemic immune response.

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Relationship of pulmonary microbiome with the immune response (local and systemic). Microbiome will be determined by using 16s RNA techniques. The inmune response will be studied with ELISA kits. 6 months
