31P MRS Ischaemic Exercise Optimisation and COPD

June 27, 2013 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

31P MRS Ischaemic Exercise Optimisation and COPD Myopathy Study

An MRI study to develop a reliable methodology for 31P MRS ischaemic exercise in order to obtain a consistent standard of measurement of muscle metabolism while maintaining an acceptable level of subject comfort and use optimised method to measure and compare metabolism in the biceps and quadriceps of patients with COPD-related myopathy and control subjects

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

31P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (31P MRS) is a non-invasive method to measure muscle metabolism during exercise. This protocol is intended to provide information for planning future clinical trials applying 31P MRS as an endpoint measure for proof of pharmacology studies with novel therapeutic molecules. Parts A & B of this study will refine imaging and exercise protocols for 31P MRS during brief periods of muscle ischaemia and will assess the test-retest variance. In Part C we will apply 31P MRS with aerobic exercise in a pilot study to estimate differences in skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism between age- and sex-matched control subjects and patients with myopathy associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Fit to safely tolerate procedures
  2. Male or female between 18 and 80 years of age
  3. If pre-menopausal female, non-pregnant on dipstick urinalysis
  4. Subject and responsible physician agree that the subject will be able to comfortably lie in scanning position in the scanner for up to 90 minutes
  5. Capable of giving written informed consent
  6. All four limbs are intact and free of disease

The following criteria apply to patients with COPD myopathy only:

  1. Established diagnosis of COPD with a disease classification of GOLD Stage II and above with suspected or established diagnosis of myopathy and/or COPD with low BMI (under 20 for men and under 19 for women) and/or MVC under 120% of the BMI.
  2. At least a 20 pack year history of smoking
  3. Resting oxygen saturation above 85% on room air
  4. Ambulant and not oxygen-dependent at rest or during mild exertion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Ineligible for MRI/MRS scanning in accordance to local MR safety regulations
  2. Any medical condition, acute or chronic, that will lead to potential discomfort when lying supine in the magnet for periods up to 90 min
  3. Any medical condition that will lead to potential discomfort with repetitive movement of the limb being tested in the scanner
  4. Subjects undergoing ischaemic/anaerobic 31P MRS must have no history of clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, abnormal blood clotting, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism or suspected clinically significant signs of limb vascular disease on screening examination.
  5. Subjects undergoing ischaemic/anaerobic 31P MRS must not have taken the oral contraceptive pill, hormone replacement therapy, or undergone anaesthesia within past 1 month, or have a history of recent prolonged immobility greater than 4 hours (e.g. air travel), or considered unfit in the opinion of the study physician
  6. Concurrent medical conditions known or suspected that in the opinion of the responsible physician could confound interpretation of results.
  7. A medical or psychiatric history that in the opinion of the responsible physician would risk safety of the subject or well-being of the subject.

The following criteria apply to control subjects and COPD patients participating in Part C of the study:

  1. Oxygen saturations below 85% on room air at rest, or significant desaturation on mild exertion.
  2. Current or recent (<4 weeks) infectious exacerbation of COPD requiring corticosteroid therapy at the time of screening or scanning visit day.
  3. Any significant medical illness other than COPD which, in the opinion of the study physician, may preclude participation or which by virtue of being associated with muscle weakness may cause distortion of the results (e.g. neuromuscular disease, severe heart failure &c).
  4. Control subjects with any history of regular smoking

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
level of skeletal muscle metabolism
Time Frame: 1 year
ADP, ATP, PCr, Pi, and pH will be measured during rest, anaerobic exercise and recovery to determine muscle metabolism.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
determine Markers of disease in patients with COPD-related myopathy
Time Frame: 1 year
tests such as spirometry, muscle biopsy, muscle cross-sectional area CSA, muscle strength to indicate level of disease progression
