Symptoms and Functions in Patients With COPD and Chronic Bronchitis Switching From CIG to THS (NCT07108166)
A Randomized, Single (Operator)-Blinded, Controlled Clinical Study for Assessing Major Symptoms and Function in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) With Chronic Bronchitis Who Switch From Combustible Cigarettes (CIG) to Tobacco Heating System (THS)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this randomized study is to demonstrate direct clinical benefit, i.e., observed benefits in how humans with COPD feel in terms of symptoms (e.g., cough frequency, shortness of breath, and other respiratory symptoms) and function (e.g., lung function, and six-minute walking test \[6MWT\]) after switching to THS compared to continuing to smoking cigarettes.
