About this study

Official title: Severity of Patients With Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) Through Disease Severity Score (DSS), Severity and Prognosis Score of PAP (SPSP) and SPSPII

By updating the chest HRCT scoring criteria of patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, a new and more perfect system for evaluating the severity of alveolar proteinosis will be established.

Read the detailed description

In past, investigators summarized a method that was the severity and prognosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (SPSP) to assess the severity and prognosis of patients with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (auto PAP). The SPSP included five aspects: smoking, symptom, PaO2, chest CT score at specific levels (aortic arch, carina, pulmonary vein confluence, and superior septal level) and DLCO %predicted. But the chest CT score only focused on range of lesions, and inaccurate. So, investigators plan to adopt new score which involves the assessing to range and density.

In the new Chest HRCT score, we added the density score. The average density of the lesions at a particular level of the patient's chest HRCT was measured by computer and classified into three degrees: mild (less than -400), moderate (greater than -400 and less than -100) and severe (greater than 100), denoted as 1 ', 2 'and3', respectively.

The range score of lung opacity was estimated using a five-point scale: no opacity = 0; opacity involving < 25% of a region of hemithorax = 1; 25-50% = 2; 50-75% = 3; and ≥ 75% = 4.

The lesion score for each layer is equal to the density score multiplied by the range score. The chest HRCT score was calculated by summing the lung opacity scores of the four representative regions of each hemithorax, and divided into several level: no opacity = 0; ≤10 = 1; 11 - 20 = 2; 21 - 30 = 3; 31 -40 = 4; > 40 = 5.

According to the new chest HRCT score, the SPSP will be updated to SPSP II. In this study, patients with auto PAP from three centers (Shanghai Lung Hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital) were enrolled to evaluate the severity of disease severity score (DSS), SPSP and SPSP II, respectively, to evaluate the pros and cons of different scores and their impact on prognosis.

About 30 newly diagnosed auto PAP patients were recruited, and were assess disease severity on the basis on SPSP II scores. According to SPSP II scores, appropriate treatment was used for the patients, who were followed up for 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis, run by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, China at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 9 Mar 2022. 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 China. 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?

The severity and prognosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (time frame: From July 2020 to December 2021). 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 NCT04516577, 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 9 Mar 2022.
