About this study
Official title: Bacteriology and Sputum and Systemic Inflammation in Steady-state, Acute Exacerbation and Recovery of Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a chronic disease arises from progressive airway inflammation and infection. It has been postulated that bacterial infection triggers intense airway inflammation leading to acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis. Antibiotics have been the most potent medications for the treatment of bronchiectasis, however, the sputum bacterial load and inflammatory indices at steady-state and exacerbation remain largely unknown. The investigation might shed light on the roles that antibiotics play in acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis and uncover the mechanisms on why a subgroup of individuals do not respond satisfactorily.
Read the detailed description
Bronchiectasis is a chronic disease arises from progressive airway inflammation and infection. Pro-inflammatory mediators, the products of activated neutrophils recruited to the inflamed sites, are released in bronchiectatic airways and mediate cascades of neutrophil infiltration. This suggests that bacterial infection plays a pivotal role in the neutrophil-derived inflammation leading to the vicious cycle that perpetuates the development of airway destruction and might result in acute exacerbation. Treatments targeting at bacterial infection is therefore necessary, particularly for those with acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis.
Although short- and long-term administration of antibiotics have been evidenced to markedly suppress bacterial colonization and inflammatory indices, the roles that potent antibiotics play in patients with exacerbation of bronchiectasis are unclear. The assessment of bacterial infection and sputum and systemic inflammation during steady-state, acute exacerbation and recovery from exacerbation of bronchiectasis may clinically shed light on and indicate the efficacy of antibiotic treatments.
Furthermore, a subgroup of patients may experience the acute exacerbation that may stem from non-bacterial pathogens. There has been a dire need to compare the changes in sputum bacterial load and inflammatory indices based on sputum bacteriology. This may help uncover the mechanism of different responses to antibiotic treatment in patients who had varying bacteriologic profiles.
Unlike assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, few clinical indices for appraisal of onset of exacerbation and efficacy of treatments are available. Of these, the 24-hour sputum volume, microbial clearance, C-reactive protein (CRP) and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire have been validated. In the present study, we employed sputum bacteriology and inflammatory indices, including the aforementioned parameters, for assessment.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sputum microbiology
type of bacterial infection, also referred to as potentially pathogenic organisms, and bacterial load, as expressed in cfu per mililiter
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (8)
Sputum sol phase inflammatory indices
sputum sol phase interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), leukotriene B4 (LTB4), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and C-reactive protein (CRP)
Measured: 1 year
24-hour sputum volume
Eligible patients with bronchiectasis, following recruitment, will be instructed to record the condition of expectoration in the patient diary card. This includes recording of 24-hour sputum volume, sputum purulence and changes in the symptoms per day. A minimum of 3 daily records between two neighboring visits are required. The 24-hour sputum volume will be recorded as the mean of 3 records.
The volume of 24-hour sputum was recorded as the mean of the nearest 3 consecutive days. Sputum volume was scored for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 points corresponding to 0-10ml, 10-20ml, 20-30ml, 30-40ml, 40-50ml and >50ml, respectively.
Measured: 1 year
Spirometry
Spirometric indices in the present study is referred to as FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and MMEF.
Spirometry tests are carried out using a spirometer (COSMED, QUARK PFT, Italy). All operation procedures meet the joint recommendation by ATS and ERS. A total of at least 3 (not more than 8) spirometric maneuvers are performed, with the variation between the best two maneuvers of <5% or 200ml in FVC and FEV1. The maximal values of FVC and FEV1 are reported. MMEF is chosen from the maneuver with the highest sum of FVC and FEV1. The predicted values are selected based on the reference regression model established by Zheng JP and Zhong NS.
Measured: 1 year
Sputum purulence
Patients receive chest physical therapy 15 minutes upon arrival at the hospital till expectoration complete. Patients are instructed to be seated and remove contents in the oral cavity followed by sputum collection using a sterile container between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m., an hour after physical therapy.
Sputum purulence is scored for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 points corresponding to complete absence, almost translucent, half translucent, translucent but colorless, opaque and white, grey and green, moderately green and dark green, respectively. The specimen with highest score is selected for reports.
Measured: 1 year
Sputum viscosity
Sputum viscosity is assessed by using a stick to randomly pick up the sputum from the center of the specimen. Sputum viscosity is scored for 1, 2 and 3 corresponding to mildly, moderately and severely sticky, respectively.
Measured: 1 year
SGRQ total score and the score of each domain
Measured: 1 year
Time to recovery of respective symptom
The symptoms of bronchiectasis include cough, expectoration (referred to as 24-hour sputum volume, purulence and viscosity), chest pain, chest distress, wheezing, febrile, malaise, fatigue, tachypnea and hemoptysis. A significant amelioration (>20%) in the respective symptom during antibiotic treatment when compared with that of acute exacerbation is deemed as recovery. The time of recovery is mainly determined by patient self-reporting.
Measured: 1 year
Sputum bacterial clearance rate
Sputum bacterial clearance rate is defined as the proportion of subjects who test negatively to sputum microbiology following a 14-day antibiotic therapy, with exception of those who showed a negative sputum culture profile during the steady-state bronchiectasis.
Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Fluroquinolones and Beta-lactamase inhibitor in people with Bronchiectasis, run by Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease 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 1 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2020. 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?

Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
