Trial summary

Using an active cohort of children in whom Airway and gastrointestinal endoscopy will be performed, investigators will conduct a chart review to obtain relevant clinical data and the investigators will use an aliquot of airway sample obtained during the clinically indicated bronchoscopy for microbiome analysis.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 24 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Children (Age 0 - 24 years) referred to the NYU Pediatric AeroDigestive Center to evaluate for CC (>4weeks).

Who may be able to join

  • Children (Age 0 - 24 years) referred to the NYU Pediatric AeroDigestive Center to evaluate for CC (>4weeks).

Who cannot join

  • Antibiotic or steroids (inhaled or systemic) use within the prior one-week. Rationale: Antibacterial drugs and immune-modulators are confounders that may impact the microbiome and inflammation. While longer period free of Antibacterial drugs and immune-modulators would be desired, it would be unethical and it is not the usual standard of care to withdraw treatment for longer periods of time.
  • Interstitial Lung Disease or pneumonia on X-ray
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Primary ciliary dyskinesia
  • Immunodeficiency syndromes
  • Major airway abnormalities
  • Proton pump inhibitor/H2-receptor antagonist therapy within the prior 2 weeks

About this study

Using an active cohort of children in whom Airway and gastrointestinal endoscopy will be performed, investigators will conduct a chart review to obtain relevant clinical data and the investigators will use an aliquot of airway sample obtained during the clinically indicated bronchoscopy for microbiome analysis. A case-control study design will be used to study whether subjects with CC with GER have a distinct lung microbiome and increased inflammation as compared with subjects with CC without GER and to determine whether the microbiome and degree of inflammation is related to the type of GER (acidic versus nonacidic).

Being tested
Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy, Esophageal Impedance Monitoring (EIM)
Medical subject headings
Chronic Cough, Gastroesophageal Reflux

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Cough (CC) and Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER), run by NYU Langone Health 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 29 Jan 2019. 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?

Comparison of Reflux Finding Score (RFS) in CC/GER- group and CC/GER+ group (time frame: 2 Years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Jan 2019.
