Trial summary

The purpose of this research is to discover the different patterns of cytokine production in patients who may develop Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome-0p (BOS-0p) which means ongoing rejection. This is an early indicator of chronic rejection in lung transplant recipients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Role of Inflammatory and Fibroproliferative Cytokines in the Pathogenesis of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome-OP in Lung Transplant Recipients.

The purpose of this research is to discover the different patterns of cytokine production in patients who may develop Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome-0p (BOS-0p) which means ongoing rejection. This is an early indicator of chronic rejection in lung transplant recipients. These cytokines can be detected in the bronchoalveolar (lung) and tissue samples of lung transplant recipients.

Read the detailed description

Lung transplant recipients are routinely followed in clinic every three months after the first year post-transplant. Spirometry with measurement of FEV1, FVC and FEF25-75 are obtained at each visit. In addition, lung transplant recipients undergo surveillance bronchoscopy at one, three, six, nine and twelve months. All bronchoscopy specimens that are obtained for this study will be obtained during bronchoscopies that were scheduled per the physician caring for the patient. An extra 90 cc of sterile solution will be instilled into bronchus and two extra transbronchial biopsies will be performed in addition to the routine bronchoscopic procedure. Routinely, 4-8 transbronchial biopsy samples are obtained from the transplanted lung. Two specimens will be randomly selected for study and the rest will undergo routine histopathologic study. The study biopsies will be set aside and processed. The study visits for this research will occur at the same time as standard of care post transplant visits. We will collect subject's history,demographic of subject's transplant data,donor procurement information, physical exam information, pregnancy tests,blood test and spirometry results from the visits mentioned above.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Rejection in Lung Transplant and Cytokine Production in Bos Post Lung Transplant, run by University of Chicago at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PI left University). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

cytokines, chemokines and T cell subsets associated with BOS (time frame: 12/2013). 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 20 Sep 2016.
