Trial summary

The main long-term complication of lung transplantation is chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most frequent presentation of CLAD. BOS leads to a progressive loss of lung allograft function, with recurrence of dyspnea and airflow limitation. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: 60 patients with a lung transplantation will be included in one center (Strasbourg) 30 -40 lung transplantations are performed each year in our centre, with a survival rate of 80% at three year post transplantation. Approx. 30% patients will develop BOS at three year post transplantation. So we expect at three year post transplantation 15 patients with BOS and 37 patients without BOS (52 patients alive at three years post transplantation). Consequently, the total duration of the study will be five years (two years for inclusion and three years of follow-up)

Who may be able to join

  • Every adult (>18 years) patient on lung transplant waiting list
  • Patients who give a written informed consent
  • Patients affiliated to a social security regimen

Who cannot join

  • Patients on lung transplant waiting list for BOS
  • Patients who cannot sign an informed consent form (emergency situation, patient with understanding difficulties…)

About this study

Official title: Circulating and Pulmonary Microparticles for Early Diagnosis of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome After Lung Transplantation

The main long-term complication of lung transplantation is chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most frequent presentation of CLAD. BOS leads to a progressive loss of lung allograft function, with recurrence of dyspnea and airflow limitation. In some advanced cases, patients need a lung re transplantation. The mechanisms of BOS are not completely elucidated, and there are no early markers or specific treatment available for this condition.

Microparticles (MPs) are submicron plasma membrane fragments released into the vascular compartment or the pericellular space in response to cell activation, injury or apoptosis. Broncho alveolar and circulating MPs may reflect cellular insults of the lung allografts. Therefore, MPs could be viewed either as biomarkers or as effectors of the chronic inflammatory or procoagulant processes leading to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.

The investigators plan to include 60 patients before lung transplantation at our centre in Strasbourg (France). Follow-up will be requested at the base of usual care (spirometry, blood sampling, bronchoscopy with broncho-alveolar lavage [BAL]). The investigators will measure at one month, one, two and three year post transplantation, the total concentration of MPs in plasma and BAL and characterize their phenotype.

The investigators objective is to demonstrate correlation between total MPs concentration in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and the occurrence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome at three years post lung transplantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between total concentration of MPs in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and occurrence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome at three year post lung transplantation

    We will measure at three years post transplantation, the total concentration of MPs in plasma and BAL and characterize their phenotype Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) will be graded according to guidelines of the the International Society for Heart and Lung transplantation. Percentage of decrease of lung function based on actual FEV1 compared to the average of the two best FEV1, distant for three week, post lung transplantation.

    BOS 0 : FEV1 > 90% BOS 0-p : 90 >FEV1 > 81% BOS 1 : 80 >FEV1 > 66% BOS 0-p : 65 >FEV1 > 51% BOS 0-p : FEV1 < 50% If BOS is present, we usually do CT-scan and bronchoscopy with BALF to confirm BO and eliminate alternative diagnosis.

    Measured: Lung transplanted patients will be followed up with usual care. Spirometry and bronchoscopy with BALF at three years after transplantation will be used in the present study.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total concentration MPs and characterization of cellular origin of MPs in BALF and in plasma of patients at three year post lung transplantation.

    MPs expose to the surface phosphatidylserine (PhtdSer), tissue factor and membrane antigens from the parental cells.

    MPs collected from plasma and BALF will have differential centrifugation and concentrations of MPs will be measured using original functional multiwell assays.

    MPs will be captured onto annexin-5 (total MPs) or onto specific antibodies directed against membrane antigens borne by MPs and testifying their cell origin (CD104, CD66b, CD62E, CD62P, CD35, E105, CD14, CD3, CD20).

    Measured: Lung transplanted patients will have spirometry and bronchoscopy with BALF at three years after transplantation as it's usually done for each lung transplanted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiolitis Obliterans, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France 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 2 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 14 Aug 2023. 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?

Correlation between total concentration of MPs in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and occurrence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome at three year post lung transplantation (time frame: Lung transplanted patients will be followed up with usual care. Spirometry and bronchoscopy with BALF at three years after transplantation will be used in the present study.). 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 14 Aug 2023.
