About this study

Invasive tracheobronchial aspergillosis (ITBA) is an uncommon, but severe clinical form of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) in which the fungal infection is entirely or predominantly confined to the tracheobronchial tree. In view of the limited data concerning critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with severe influenza associated with ITBA, the investigators decided to evaluate the differences between the clinical presentations of two invasive infections: ITBA and IPA without tracheobronchial involvement (No ITBA).

Read the detailed description

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a well-known complication in severely immunocompromised hosts patients. Recent evidence has identified others populations at risk for IPA, including those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and advanced cirrhosis patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Moreover, Recently influenza has been identified as a new independent risk factor for IPA and IPA was described as an early complication of influenza. IPA groups different clinical presentations: the classical angio-invasive, the broncho-invasive form and the invasive tracheobronchitis aspergillosis form (ITBA).

ITBA is an infrequent clinical form of IPA with often a fatal outcome, in which Aspergillus infection involves entirely or predominantly the tracheobronchial tree. Early diagnosis of ITBA is based on bronchoscopy examination. Severe influenza is a life-threatening condition where IPA has been repeatedly reported. Little is known on severe influenza infection complicated with IPA and still less with ITBA. Current data on ITBA in critically ill patients hospitalized for severe influenza infection has only been described in single case reports. Because ITBA has been associated with a poorer prognostic than other forms of IPA, this retrospective study aimed to analyze diagnostic and prognostic differences between ITBA and IPA without tracheobronchial lesions, in critically ill patients with influenza infection hospitalized in ICU.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of management of ITBA diagnosis criteria

    Evolution of the diagnosis criteria of the ITBA

    Measured: from day 0 to two weeks after the start of the study

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change of management of ITBA prognosis

    Evolution of ITBA prognosis

    Measured: from day 0 to two weeks after the start of the study

  2. Change of mortality rate between ITBA group and IPA group

    ITBA group is : invasive tracheobronchitis aspergillosis form. IPA group is : invasive pulmonary aspergillosis without tracheobronchial involvement

    Measured: from day 0 to two weeks after the start of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis and Morality, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens 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 4 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 4 Sep 2019. 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?

Change of management of ITBA diagnosis criteria (time frame: from day 0 to two weeks after the start of the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04077697, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Sep 2019.
