Supporting Evidence-based Responses to Emotional Needs in Emphysema
NCT06600126 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how a Coping Skills Training program can reduce depression and anxiety in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly those who face health disparities, including those with low income, different racial backgrounds, or those living in rural areas. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does the Coping Skills Training program help reduce stress and anxiety in patients? * What causes variations in the effectiveness of the Coping Skills Training program? * What are the barriers and facilitators to the uptake of the Coping Skills Training program? Researchers will compare a 12-week Coping Skills Training program with a COPD Education program to see if the training leads to better health outcomes for participants. Participants will: * Take part in weekly 30-minute sessions for 12 weeks if assigned to the Coping Skills Training group. * Take part in weekly 10-minute sessions for 12 weeks if assigned to the COPD Education group. * Complete surveys before, during, and after the intervention. * Patients and caregivers, including those who chose not to enroll, as well as clinicians, will be invited to participate in interviews to share their perspectives.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06600126
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06600126 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. 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 750 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pennsylvania, which has 1,457 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 COPD appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which COPD Education 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: NCT06600126 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Michigan, Pennsylvania. 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.
