Withdrawn
Conditions
Healthy Non-smokers
Current Smokers
COPD Patients
Registration Number
NCT00180622
Lead Sponsor
Imperial College London
Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to exploit a difference between COPD patients, chronic smokers without COPD and healthy non-smoking subjects. This will help to assess the utility of inflammatory and oxidative markers in exhaled air and sputum and to compare them with the lung function, clinical parameters and computerised tomography (CT).
