Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the significance of KL-6 as a biomarker in the clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) by detecting serum KL-6 levels among patients with ILD, and comparing them to the clinical diagnostic criteria and other respiratory diseases.

About this study

Official title: The Role of KL-6 as a Serum Biomarker in the Clinical Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) in China

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the significance of KL-6 as a biomarker in the clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) by detecting serum KL-6 levels among patients with ILD, and comparing them to the clinical diagnostic criteria and other respiratory diseases. In addition, the study discusses the value of KL-6 levels in terms of ILD treatment effect evaluation through the detection of serum KL-6 levels before treatment and after treatment.

Read the detailed description

As a multi-center, double-blind clinical study, the trial is divided into two parts.

Part 1: The purpose of this part is to evaluate the role of KL-6 as a biomarker in the clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) by detecting serum KL-6 levels among patients with ILD, and comparing them to the clinical diagnostic criteria and other respiratory diseases, including pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and healthy control group.

Part 2: The purpose of this part is to study the value of KL-6 levels in terms of ILD treatment effect evaluation through the detection of serum KL-6 levels before treatment and 30-90 days after treatment. Treatment includes anti fibrosis, anti-inflammatory and other conventional therapies.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02197364
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ILD, Other respiratory diseases, Healthy control groupILD: those with interstitial lung disease. Other respiratory diseases: those with other respiratory disease including pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Healthy control group: those who is healthy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The KL-6 concentration on the immune analyzer

    Detect the KL-6 concentration in serum by the use of the immune analyzer among patients with ILD.

    Measured: The serum from patients with ILD will be collected for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The KL-6 concentration on the immune analyzer

    Detect the KL-6 concentration in serum by the use of the immune analyzer among patients with other respiratory diseases, including pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    Measured: The serum from patients other respiratory diseases will be collected for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 4 weeks

  2. The KL-6 concentration on the immune analyzer

    Detect the KL-6 concentration in serum by the use of the immune analyzer among healthy people.

    Measured: The serum from healthy people will be collected for the duration of physical examination, an average of 1 day

  3. Change of KL-6 concentration on the immune analyzer

    Change of KL-6 concentration on the immune analyzer from pretherapy to 30-90 days after treatment among patients with ILD.

    Measured: pretherapy, 30-90 days after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Interstitial Lung Disease, run by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 22 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 KL-6 concentration on the immune analyzer (time frame: The serum from patients with ILD will be collected for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 4 weeks). 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 22 Jul 2014.
