KL-6 Protein as a Biomarker of Lung Injury in Viral Bronchiolitis

An observational study of Acute Viral Bronchiolitis, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand.

Trial summary

Serum KL-6 protein has been described as a biomarker of epithelial lung injury in Respiratory Syncytial Virus bronchiolitis. The investigators can imagine that epithelial injury intensity has consequences on immediate and later respiratory prognosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Acute Bronchiolitis in Infants: Analysis of a Biomarker of Epithelial Lung Injury - Clinical and Virological Correlation

Serum KL-6 protein has been described as a biomarker of epithelial lung injury in Respiratory Syncytial Virus bronchiolitis. The investigators can imagine that epithelial injury intensity has consequences on immediate and later respiratory prognosis. Furthermore, this prognosis seems to be different according to the respiratory causative virus. The investigators propose to study, during an epidemic season, the correlation between KL-6 levels and clinical severity, and the type of viral infection.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, monocentric, case-control and transversal study Primary end-point: correlation between serum KL-6 level and severity of the bronchiolitis, evaluated by a clinical scoring system established at the time of the admission in Paediatric Emergency Unit Secondary end-points: respiratory virus detected by EIA and RT-PCR, phylogenetic study of rhinovirus, length of hospitalisation, immediate morbidity and mortality, risk of asthma at the age of three years old.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Viral Bronchiolitis, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

KL-6 rate (time frame: At day 1). 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 21 Sep 2011.
