About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Outcome of Adult Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Based on Lung HRCT and Lung Function. A Multicenter Retrospective Study

this is a multicenter retrospective study on patients with pulmonary LCH who were sequentially evaluated by concomitant lung HRCT and lung function testing. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the changes over time of lung function parameters in patients with pulmonary LCH; 2) to compare the variations of HRCT and lung function results during follow-up; 3) to address the respective interest of these investigations for identifying the patients who eventually will experience a progression of their disease.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (pulmonary LCH) is an uncommon disorder, characterized by the accumulation of CD1a+ Langerhans cells (LCs) organized in granulomas that develop in, and destroy the wall of distal bronchioles. In adults the disease occurs predominantly in young smokers from both genders, with a peak incidence at 20-40 yrs of age, although female may be slightly older. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the lung has provided a considerable input for the diagnosis of pulmonary LCH.

We conducted a multicenter retrospective study on patients with pulmonary LCH who were sequentially evaluated by concomitant lung HRCT and lung function testing. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the changes over time of lung function parameters in patients with pulmonary LCH; 2) to compare the variations of HRCT and lung function results during follow-up; 3) to address the respective interest of these investigations for identifying the patients who eventually will experience a progression of their disease. Results of this study may help to improve the management of patients with adult pulmonary LCH.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01651507
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HLPPatients with pulmonary LCH from eight teaching hospitals evaluated between June 1989 and February 2005 were considered for this study, if they were followed for at least 6 months and evaluated by ≥ 2 lung HRCT and lung function tests at the same time or within a 2 months period

What is being measured

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

  1. Impairment of lung function

    a decrease ≥10% of FEV1 or FVC, or decrease ≥15% of DLCO. Conversely, if the FEV1or FVC increased of ≥10%, or DLCO ≥15%

    Measured: 5 years

  2. obstructive pattern

    FEV1/FVC ratio <70%

    Measured: 5 years

  3. restrictive pattern

    TLC <80% of predicted value

    Measured: 5 years

  4. lung HRCT cystic score

    The extent of cystic lesions (including thick- and thin- walled cysts) was assessed for each of the 6 defined lung areas on HRCT and classified as follows: 0 (no cyst); 1 (<25%); 2 (25-49%); 3 (50-75%) and 4 (>75%) of the lung surface analyzed. For the whole lung, the maximal value for cystic HRCT score was of 24

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 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 France. 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 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?

Impairment of lung function (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01651507, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Apr 2016.
