ClinConnect Summary

The ICONIC study is looking into how we can better identify and understand Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in smokers, especially those who may not know they have it. COPD is a serious lung condition often caused by smoking, and many people with it remain undiagnosed. By screening smokers in a general medical setting, the study aims to find out how newly diagnosed patients progress over time and how different types of COPD can affect their treatment and overall health.

To take part in this study, participants must be over 35 years old, have a history of smoking (at least 20 pack-years), and must currently be smoking or have quit less than a month ago. They will also need to provide consent to join the study. Participants who are diagnosed with COPD during the study will be monitored to see how their condition evolves. It’s important to note that people already diagnosed with COPD, those undergoing cancer treatment, pregnant or nursing women, and individuals without social security coverage cannot participate. This study hopes to gather valuable information that could improve the way COPD is managed in the future.
