What this phase means
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Maximal strenght training (MST) plus endurance training (ET), or Endurance training (ET). The registry lists allocation as randomized. In the context of pulmonary rehabilitation of COPD patients, recent guidelines and metanalysis describe that Resistance Training (RT) can be successfully performed alone or in conjunction with Endurance Training (ET) without evidence of side effects.
They plan to enroll about 20 people at Lumezzane. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.
