Indoor Air Quality and Respiratory Symptoms in Former Smokers
NCT02956213 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The investigators will conduct a randomized, controlled, double-blind, crossover trial to determine whether the presence of a portable high-efficiency indoor air filter in the bedroom reduces respiratory symptoms in former smokers compared with placebo. The primary outcomes will be change in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire - COPD (SGRQ-C) score associated with using a portable high-efficiency indoor air filter during the study period. Secondary outcomes of COPD exacerbations and hospitalizations, daily step counts, medication changes, spirometry, and cardiovascular outcomes will also be assessed.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02956213
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02956213 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 52 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Intermountain Health Care, which has 58 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which HEPA portable air filter is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02956213 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Utah. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
