Although many therapies exist and are being developed to relieve symptoms and reduce mortality in COPD, most have only been studied in placebo-controlled efficacy studies in highly selected populations. There are few clinical trials to compare therapeutic alternatives in real world. Furthermore, some randomized controlled trials on Yong Chong Cao capsule, one therapeutic type of Cordyceps sinensis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) interventions, especially based on the syndrome of insufficiency of qi of the lung and kidney patterns, have been the certain evidence for showing definite effect for COPD patients. In addition, studies in real world populations of COPD that received different cordyceps sinensis therapies that do have efficacy evidence was found wide variations in care delivery. In short, there is a need to compare the effectiveness of two capsule in patients with mild to severe COPD.\n\nThis is a multi-center, open-label, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of Yong Chong Cao capsule for patients with mild to severe COPD compared with Bailing capsule. Following a 14 day run-in period, approximately 240 subjects will be randomly assigned to Yong Chong Cao capsule treatment group, Bailing capsule treatment group for 24 weeks. After the 24 weeks treatment period, subjects in two treatments arms will follow-up 24 weeks. The primary outcome measure is the frequency of exacerbations. The secondary efficacy measures include FEV1, dyspnea (MMRC), exercise capacity(6MWD), quality of life (CAT, SGRQ). Safety will be assessed through the collection of adverse events. There will be a total of 4 study visits (baseline, the 12 and 24 weeks of the treatment, the 24 weeks of follow-up).'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* A confirmed diagnosis of mild to severe COPD.\n* Medically stable.\n* Syndrome differentiation belongs to syndrome of insufficiency of qi of the lung and kidney.\n* Age between 18 and 80 years.\n* With the informed consent signed.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnant or breast-feeding women.\n* Current respiratory disorders other than COPD (e.g., bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, tuberculosis, lung fibrosis, pulmonary thromboembolic, diffuse panbronchiolitis, lung cancer).\n* Complicated with heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV), or myocardial infarction within six months ,or unstable hemodynamics.\n* Complicated with serious hepatic and renal diseases (liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, bleeding of varicose veins, dialysis, or renal transplantation).\n* Any psychiatric condition rendering the patient unable to understand the nature, scope and possible consequences of the study.\n* Participating in other trials or allergic to the used medicine.\n* Participating in other clinical trials with other interventions in one month.\n* Allergic to the used medicine.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03745261', 'briefTitle': 'Effect of Yong Chong Cao Capsule on Outcomes in Patients With Mild to Severe COPD', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Multi-center, Open-label, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Yong Chong Cao Capsule on Outcomes in Patients With Mild to Severe COPD', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Yong Chong Cao for COPD'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'YCC capsule+conventional medicine', 'description': 'Patients in this group will be given Yong Chong Cao (YCC) capsule and conventional medicine based on the classes of medications recommended by 2017 GOLD and Chinese Treatment Guidelines for COPD,which are Group A patients: Salbutamol (Ventolin®),Group B and Group C patients: Tiotropium Bromide (Spiriva®),Group D patients: Salmeterol / fluticasone (Seretide®).', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Salbutamol (Ventolin®)', 'Drug: Tiotropium Bromide (Spiriva®)', 'Drug: Salmeterol / fluticasone (Seretide®)', 'Drug: YCC capsule']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'BL capsule + conventional medicine', 'description': 'Patients in this group will be given Bailing (BL) capsule and conventional medicine based on the classes of medications recommended by 2017 GOLD and Chinese Treatment Guidelines for COPD, which are Group A patients: Salbutamol (Ventolin®),Group B and Group C patients: Tiotropium Bromide (Spiriva®),Group D patients: Salmeterol / fluticasone (Seretide®).', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Salbutamol (Ventolin®)', 'Drug: Tiotropium Bromide (Spiriva®)', 'Drug: Salmeterol / fluticasone (Seretide®)', 'Drug: BL capsule']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Salbutamol (Ventolin®)', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Group A patients: Salbutamol (Ventolin®).'], 'description': 'According to the revised 2017 GOLD, patients will be divided into Group A, B, C, and D based on individualized assessment.
