Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To find the appropriate metric to evaluate the effect of exercise training, the exercise training will be performed for 8 weeks in patients with severe to very severe COPD, evaluating the changes in their symptoms, blood biomarkers, nutritional status, and exercise capacities. In addition, in patients with weight loss (body mass index (BMI) of less than 21 kg/m2) and those without weight loss (BMI of 21 kg/m2 or more), whether the evaluation metric affects the outcomes of exercise training will also be investigated.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The evaluations will be done 3 times:
i) at Week 4,
ii) at Week 8 soon after pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), and
iii) at Week 12 (i.e., 4 weeks after the completion of PR).
As primary outcomes, we will examine the correlation between the change in exercise capacity (peak oxygen uptake) and the plasma ghrelin level.

Key secondary outcomes

As secondary outcomes, we will examine the correlations between the changes in exercise capacity (peak oxygen uptake) and i) other blood biomarkers, including plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level, ii) weight, iii) pulmonary function test results, iv) food intake, v) free-living physical activity measured by an accelerometer, vi) DEXA (measurement of lean body mass, body mineral content, and fat mass), vii) symptoms, and viii) respiratory muscle strength.

Interventions/Control_1

Pulmonary rehabilitation including exercise training for 8 weeks on an outpatient basis. Exercise training will be conducted in 3 sets daily, 3 times a week for 8 weeks (i.e., 24 days) using electromechanically braked cycle ergometers. The initial exercise level of each set will be set for 6 min at the work rate corresponding to 40% of the peak oxygen uptake achieved on the baseline cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). As tolerated by the subject, the exercise duration will be initially increased to 10 min. After that, the training work rate will be increased by 5 W and then extended to the work rate corresponding to 80% of the baseline peak oxygen uptake.
