NCT ID NCT07649850

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a blood flow restriction cuff to aerobic exercise helps people with emphysema or COPD build muscle and improve daily function. Sixty participants will either do standard aerobic exercise or the same exercise with the cuff. The goal is to see if this low-intensity approach can safely enhance strength and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Aerobic exercise combined with blood flow restriction (BFR)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safer, more effective exercise program to help COPD patients build strength and move better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (60 people) that hasn't started yet. Results may not apply to all COPD patients, and the benefits might be modest.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Jun 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with emphysematous chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). * Clinically stable COPD patients with no acute exacerbation within the previous 4-6 weeks. * Mild to moderate disease severity according to GOLD criteria. * Ability to participate safely in aerobic exercise training. * Medically stable and cleared by a physician for pulmonary rehabilitation. * Ability to understand and follow study instructions. Exclusion Criteria: * Acute COPD exacerbation or respiratory infection during the study period. * Severe cardiovascular diseases (e.g., unstable angina, uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction). * Peripheral vascular disease or contraindications to blood flow restriction (BFR) training. * Severe musculoskeletal, neurological, or orthopedic disorders limiting exercise performance. * Cognitive impairment affecting cooperation or informed consent. * Participation in another structured rehabilitation program during the study period. * Severe hypoxemia requiring continuous oxygen therapy during exercise. * History of deep vein thrombosis or clotting disorders.
