About this study

Official title: Exhaled Breath Condensate and Nitric Oxide: Non-invasive Evaluation of Lung Disease After Treatment With Xolair

The purpose of this study is to study the effects of Xolair using non-invasive techniques from the expired gas of patients with moderate to severe allergic asthma.

Read the detailed description

Traditional methods of sampling secretions from the lower respiratory tract include sputum collection, sputum induction, and bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage. They cannot be repeated within a short period of time because of their invasiveness, and because the procedures themselves may include an inflammatory response. The need to monitor inflammation in the lungs has led to the exploration of exhaled gases and condensates. Noninvasive monitoring may assist in differential diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, assessment of disease severity and response to treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the effect of Xolair on exhaled nitric oxide and leukotriene levels obtained from exhaled breath condensate in patients before and after four months of Xolair or placebo treatment.

    Measured: post dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To measure the levels of power of hydrogen (pH), nitrate/nitrite in exhaled breath condensate before and after four months treatment with Xolair and to compare these data to those obtained from the placebo asthmatic control group.

    Measured: post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Xolair in people with Lung Disease, run by Creighton University at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the effect of Xolair on exhaled nitric oxide and leukotriene levels obtained from exhaled breath condensate in patients before and after four months of Xolair or placebo treatment. (time frame: post dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jan 2014.
