The Effect of Chlorhexidine on the Oral and Lung Microbiota in Chronic Obstructive
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Chlorhexidine and Placebo for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Determine the effect of twice-daily chlorhexidine oral rinse on oral and lung microbiota biomass in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic bronchitis. Our primary outcome will be to compare the microbiota biomass (number of bacteria as measured by 16S rRNA copy number) of induced sputum and the oral cavity before and after 8 weeks of twice-daily chlorhexidine oral rinse (n=25) compared to controls (n=25) using qPCR and next-generation sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene comparing total bacterial biomass
