Official title: Dynamic Functional Imaging Phenotyping and Disease Progression Risk Assessment in COPD Using Dynamic Chest Radiography: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University · NCT07762573 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study looks at existing dynamic chest radiography data to see if new imaging measurements can identify COPD patterns, gauge severity, and predict who may experience faster progression.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 30–85 with COPD who have undergone pulmonary function testing and dynamic chest radiography at participating centers.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose records are incomplete or who do not fit the imaging data criteria may not benefit from the findings.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter retrospective analysis collects prior dynamic chest radiography, lung function tests, CT images, symptom scores, and follow-up data to build a standardized database. The goal is to characterize dynamic functional imaging phenotypes in COPD and to explore tools for predicting disease progression. Findings will inform model development and set the stage for future prospective validation across centers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could provide imaging-based ways to better classify COPD and forecast progression, potentially guiding earlier or more tailored management.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests imaging-based phenotyping can contribute to COPD characterization, but this approach with dynamic chest radiography is relatively novel and exploratory.
