Reveal LINQ for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

October 23, 2024 updated by: Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure
The purpose of the LINQ™ for COPD study is to characterize Reveal LINQ™ derived data from patients with COPD by assessing the relationship between changes in LINQ™ derived data with COPD exacerbation events.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is progressive and currently incurable and refers to a collection of diseases that lead to the key feature of irreversible airflow limitation and breathing related problems. Of those with COPD, 46% experienced at least one exacerbation within the previous year and 19% needed hospitalization. The financial burden of COPD is also evident, in that over $32 billion was spent for COPD care in the United States in 2010 and it is expected to be close to $50 billion in 2020.

Reducing healthcare utilization associated with COPD patient management (i.e. short-term readmission and chronic disease management) is a critically important unmet need for patients, caregivers, and hospitals. Early detection, prevention, and treatment of COPD exacerbation would aim to reduce this high morbidity and cost. To help reduce these exacerbations and improve disease management, sensors in a minimally invasive device can be used to identify factors that are associated with exacerbations.

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

45 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The subject population for the LINQ for COPD study is COPD patients who are known to have frequent exacerbations (one requiring hospitalization, ED visit, or urgent care visit, or at least two others in the past year).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is ≥ 45 years old
  • Patient (or patient's legally authorized representative) is willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol, including follow-up visits, electronic diary submissions and CareLink transmissions

  • The patient's medical records must be accessible by the enrolling site over the follow-up period

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Less than 30 days from diagnosis of a COPD exacerbation as defined as taking antibiotics and/or corticosteroids for respiratory symptoms, hospitalization, urgent care or emergency department visit for respiratory illness.

  • Less than 30 days from diagnosis of a HF event as defined as any cardiovascular-related (including hypervolemia) Health Care Utilizations (HCUs) for any one of the following events:

    • Admission with primary diagnosis of HF

    • Intravenous HF therapy (e.g. IV diuretics/vasodilators) or ultrafiltration at any one of the following settings:
