Inert Dusts and Pathology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Medical University of Vienna, February 2008

Sponsored by: Medical University of Vienna
Information provided by: Medical University of Vienna
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00618137
  Purpose

The main objective of the study is the exploration of the natural course of COPD and its biological background. To this end, active workers without COPD and workers in functional classes GOLD 0-III are investigated by a combined clinical and molecular approach. The study has been designed as a prospective, intraindividual pilot in 160 male or female volunteers of the greater Vienna Area over a period of three years for each individual volunteer.
