Trial summary

The purpose of this study is twofold: to assess routine cat scan (CT) imaging as a biomarker for removal of lipoprotein surfactant via lung lavage (where CT is the gold-standard imaging technique for density quantification), and to utilize a novel UTE MRI protocol to similarly quantify surfactant removal.

About this study

The purpose of this study is twofold: to assess routine cat scan (CT) imaging as a biomarker for removal of lipoprotein surfactant via lung lavage (where CT is the gold-standard imaging technique for density quantification), and to utilize a novel UTE MRI protocol to similarly quantify surfactant removal. This study will also serve to generate baseline scanning that may aid in developing analytical tools to evaluate and treat specific lung regions of patients with PAP.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate x-ray CT as a biomarker for surfactant lavage removal and evaluate an UTE-Thrive MRI protocol at CCHMC as an imaging alternative to CT. Potential subjects who meet study criteria will be identified by the Pulmonary physicians at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) and University of Cincinnati (UC) through their clinic patients. The study will include two research MRIs (one pre lavage and the second 24 to 72 hours after the first lung lavage) and if there is a clinical CT performed pre lavage, then one research CT will also be performed with the second research MRI. All image analysis will be quantitative. Whole-lung and regional density will be calculated and evaluated before and after lung lavage, for a quantification of changes in density in the left lung and right lung separately. Since the one lung will serve as control, it will allow precise error estimation (which we expect to be quite small and largely related to differences in lung volume). One purpose of this protocol is to further refine and develop ultra-short echo time (UTE) MRI techniques since Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) patients may have multiple lavage sessions per year. A subject may be eligible to re-enroll to participate multiple times if the total number of research CTs for all enrollments is one or less for that subject.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati 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 5 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 1 Nov 2018. 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 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?

Comparing MRI's images pre and post whole lung lavage (time frame: 24 hours before lung lavage and 24-48 hours after lung lavage). 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 1 Nov 2018.
