Trial summary

Chronic cough is defined by its persistence beyond 8 weeks. Many conditions can explain the existence of a bronchial inflammation. In the management of chronic cough, the search for bronchial hyperreactivity (HRB) is recommended. The treatment relies primarily on the prescription of inhaled corticosteroids.

About this study

Official title: Measurement of Exhaled NO and Bronchial Provocation Test With Mannitol as a Predictor of Response to Inhaled Corticosteroids in Chronic Cough

Chronic cough is defined by its persistence beyond 8 weeks. Many conditions can explain the existence of a bronchial inflammation. In the management of chronic cough, the search for bronchial hyperreactivity (HRB) is recommended. The treatment relies primarily on the prescription of inhaled corticosteroids. It has been shown recently that the existence of an HRB with Methacholine (bronchial provocation test used in routine) does predict the effectiveness of inhaled corticosteroid treatment in no more than 50% of cases.

It is now possible to assess the bronchial inflammation by rapid, non-invasive and reproducible tests such that the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and bronchial provocation test with mannitol. In a retrospective study, it was shown that an increased value of FeNO (cut-off > 35 ppb) predicts a positive response to treatment with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 80%.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to show that the use of the prospective value of exhaled NO can predict response to treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in adult with chronic cough. In addition we will assess the interest of the prognosis of bronchial provocation test with mannitol in this indication.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • bronchial provocation test with mannitolProcedure or surgery

    Also called Aridol

    Bronchial provocation test with mannitol: Aridol is supplied in kit form containing sufficient capsules to complete one complete challenge, and the inhalation device.

    1. Apply nose clip and subject should be directed to breathe through the mouth
    2. Insert 0 mg capsule into inhalation device. Puncture capsule by depressing buttons on side of device slowly, and once only (a second puncture may fragment the capsules)
    3. The patient should exhale completely, before inhaling from device in a controlled rapid deep inspiration
    4. At the end of deep inspiration, start 60 second timer, subject should hold breath for 5 seconds and exhale through mouth before removal of nose clip
    5. At the end of 60 seconds, measure the FEV1 in duplicate (this becomes baseline FEV1)
    6. Insert 5 mg capsule into inhalation device, and proceed as above
    7. Repeat steps 1 - 4 following the dose steps in the table below until the patient has a positive response or 635 mg has been administered.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
bronchial provocation test with mannitolExperimentalPatients referred for evaluation of a chronic cough (without treatment or after stopping inhaled corticosteroids for 2 weeks) will perform a measure of FeNO, a bronchial provocation test with mannitol, will fill out a questionnaire of quality of life for the cough (Leicester Cough Questionnaire) and the intensity of coughing on a 10-cm visual scale. After 6 weeks after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids patients will perform the same tests.
Receives: Procedure: bronchial provocation test with mannitol

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The intensity of coughing on a 10-cm visual scale

    Measured: 6 weeks after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the threshold value of 35 ppb FeNo to the clinical response seen as positive if the EVA reduces cough of at least 2 cm

    Measured: 6 weeks after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids

  2. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of response to bronchial provocation test with mannitol on the clinical response seen as positive if the EVA reduces cough of at least 2 cm

    Measured: 6 weeks after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids

  3. Correlation between the value of FeNo and dose of mannitol causing a fall of 15% of maximum volume expired second (PD15)

    Measured: 6 weeks after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids

  4. Score quality of life of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire

    Measured: 6 weeks after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bronchial provocation test with mannitol in people with Cough and Bronchial Hyperreactivity, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2010. 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 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.

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 intensity of coughing on a 10-cm visual scale (time frame: 6 weeks after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids). 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 24 Nov 2010.
