About this study
Official title: RhDNase Effect on Biodistribution of PMN Serine Proteases in Cystic Fibrosis Sputum
Serine proteases belonging to the elastase family are mainly responsible for lung tissue destruction as observed during cystic fibrosis. But anti-inflammatory therapies based on systemic or aerosolized protease-inhibitors administration, have not given the expected results until now. One reason would be the impaired access of therapeutic inhibitors to their molecular targets. It was recently shown that neutrophils actively secrete neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) made of DNA that binds cationic proteases among other molecules. NETs together with DNA passively released from dead neutrophils contribute to the viscosity of CF expectorations which explains that rhDNase treatment fluidifies expectorations and improves the patient status. Preliminary experiments in our laboratory have shown that DNA degradation was associated with a significant increase of proteolytic activity in the sputum soluble fraction. However the efficacy of exogenous inhibitors is also improved in these conditions. Using the specific substrates and methodologies that we developed previously to measure cell-surface associated proteolytic activities, we will study the effects of DNase on the activity of individual proteases, their biodistribution in sputum and their regulation by potential therapeutic inhibitors. Enzymatic, immunochemical and microscopic (confocal and scanning) techniques will first be used for ex vivo studies on sputa freshly collected at the adult and paediatric CRCM in Tours, then on sputa from patients before and after administration of aerosolized rhDNase. We hypothesize that a better understanding of the biodistribution of neutrophil serine proteases and especially their binding to DNA will help designing new therapeutic strategies that facilitate inhibitor access to their protease targets.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The biodistribution of elastase, Protease 3 and cathepsine G in the expectorations will be measured by the management report of these proteases between the freezing fractionand the soluble fraction, before and after rhDNase administration.

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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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 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 biodistribution of elastase, Protease 3 and cathepsine G in the expectorations will be measured by the management report of these proteases between the freezing fractionand the soluble fraction, before and after rhDNase administration. (time frame: 1 hour). 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 16 Mar 2022.
