In health, mucin is the major macromolecular component and is responsible for the protective and clearance properties of the mucus gel. In a recent study the investigators found that mucins are decreased and unstable in the sputum of adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.\n\nIn this study the investigators want to investigate the differences on the mucin quantity and quality of airway secretions during pulmonary exacerbation of patients with COPD.', 'detailedDescription': 'We hypothesize that during an exacerbation the mucin amount is increasing.\n\nThe aim of this study is to evaluate the molecular (mucins) and structure properties (mucin-stability) of the airway secretions in COPD related to the severity of the disease.\n\nWe characterize sputum composition of patients with pulmonary exacerbations. Using gel electrophoresis, with specific antibodies we will analyze MUC5AC and MUC5B mucins.\n\nThe significance of these studies is that they will give us novel information about the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory airway diseases, provide tools for assessing the progression of lung disease, and most critically, will identify novel opportunities and targets for therapeutic intervention.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'COPD patients Stadium 2-3 during pulmonary exacerbation', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) \\< 80%\n* sputum production\n* clinical likely hood of exacerbation\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* FEV1 \\> 80% or \\< 30%\n* increased systemic inflammation\n* susceptibility of pneumonia\n* need for antibiotic treatment'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01848093', 'acronym': 'mucinCOPDex', 'briefTitle': 'Mucin Concentration in Sputum From COPD Patients During a Pulmonary Exacerbation', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Philipps University Marburg'}, 'officialTitle': 'Molekularbiologische Eigenschaften Des Sputums während Einer Pulmonalen COPD Exacerbation', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '160/08'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'COPD exacerbation', 'description': 'COPD Stadium 2 and 3 during pulmonary exacerbation\n\nsputum collection', 'interventionNames': ['Other: sputum collection']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'sputum collection', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'collecting of spontaneous sputum from the patient', 'armGroupLabels': ['COPD exacerbation']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '35043', 'city': 'Marburg', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'pulmonary department, University Marburg', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.80904, 'lon': 8.77069}}, {'city': 'Marburg', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'University Marburg', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.80904, 'lon': 8.77069}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Markus Henke, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University Marburg'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Philipps University Marburg', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
