Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Summary
Brief summary
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common disorder which causes changes within the airways and blood vessels of the lung. As a result of these changes, it can cause problems with breathing and the way air and oxygen travels to different parts of the lung. We have several different ways of looking at how bad COPD is, however none of these are perfect. By understanding better the way in which airways behave in COPD, and the effects this has on blood flow within the lung, the better able we will be to investigate, develop new medications, and treat COPD. In this study we will be investigating the way COPD affects breathing and blood flow by looking at changes in lung function. We will then compare this information with pictures of breathing and blood flow obtained from a nuclear medicine scan.
