About this study

Official title: Trial of GM-CSF for Alveolar Proteinosis

This is a study to determine the efficacy and safety of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF, sargramostim) administered subcutaneously to patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP).

Read the detailed description

PAP is a rare lung disease characterized by accumulation of surfactant phospholipids and proteins within the lungs. There is no specific pharmacologic therapy for PAP and the current practice of lung lavage under general anesthesia is invasive and has limitations. Although it is unknown if the anti GM-CSF antibody is related to the disease pathogenesis, observations suggest a role for GM-CSF in lung homeostasis as well as in the pathogenesis of PAP.

Patients will receive subcutaneous GM-CSF or placebo once a day and will be followed on an outpatient basis at 2 weeks, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months after initiation of therapy. Clinical response will determine dosing schedule and will be evaluated by symptom scores, gas exchange data, and chest radiographs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, sargramostim) in people with Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 3 sites 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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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.

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 25 Mar 2015.
