Trial summary

The aim of the study is identify biological parameters reflecting proteolytic activity in the exhaled condenstaes which might be useful to follow up pulmonary inflammation in various conditions including cystic fibrosis, COPD, asthma, tobacco exposure. Three proteases will be analyzed, i.e. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Development of a Noninvasive Method of Evaluation of the Pulmonary Inflammation in the Condensates of Exhaled Air

The aim of the study is identify biological parameters reflecting proteolytic activity in the exhaled condenstaes which might be useful to follow up pulmonary inflammation in various conditions including cystic fibrosis, COPD, asthma, tobacco exposure. Three proteases will be analyzed, i.e. elastase, proteinase 3 and cathepsin G. Results in the condensates will be compared to those obtained in sputum.

Read the detailed description

5 groups of 20 individuals each: group 1 CF, group 2 COPD, group 3 asthma, group 4 tobacco exposure, group 5 control subjects.

Collection of exhaled condensates in all subjects and of sputum in subjects belonging to groups 1 and 2.

Clinical examination and PFTs in all patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchopulmonary Ignition and Condensate of Exhaled Air, run by University Hospital, Tours at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
