About this study

Official title: Identification of Microbiome and Metabolome of Bronchiectasis in Chinese Population and Role of the "Gut-lung Axis" in Chronic Respiratory Infection With Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.

This study aims to investigate the characteristics of gut microbiome and metabolome in non-CF bronchiectasis patients, hoping to explore the underlying mechanisms as well as the influence of gut microbiota composition on bronchiectasis.

Read the detailed description

Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is a chronic airway disease characterized by irreversible and progressive dilation of the large airways, bronchi and bronchioles, which severely impairs the life quality of patients and increases the social and economic burden. It is also a heterogenous disease affected by multiple factors such as geography and ethnicity. The incidence of bronchiectasis among the Chinese population is about 1.2%, which has clearly been underestimated. However, due to the lack of awareness, the research of bronchiectasis in China is still in its infancy. Colonization and recurrent infection of pathogen is the primary unsolved problem in clinical practice. With the proposition of "gut-lung axis" theory, the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases has been gradually revealed. Evidences have shown that gut microbiota regulates respiratory immunity via releasing soluble bacterial components and its metabolites into the circulation, as well as facilitating the migration of immune cells directly to the lung. In the 1980s, a patient after a colectomy has been reported to generate bronchiectasis. The most common clinical manifestation of pulmonary involved IBD patients is also bronchiectasis, suggesting that the "gut-lung axis" may be involved in the pathogenesis of bronchiectasis. Therefore, clarifying the role and mechanism of gut microbiota in bronchiectasis and its gut microbiome is expected to provide new theoretical basis and ideas for its diagnosis and treatment.

Healthy controlHealthy volunteers will be included.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gut microbiome and metabolomics of bronchiectasis patients and healthy control.

    The microbiome and metabolome results of gut in bronchiectasis patients will be defined from the stool samples using 16S rRNA Miseq sequencing and nontargeted LC-MS-based metabolomics approach.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Lung microbiome of bronchiectasis patient.

    The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) specimens will be obtained from admitted patients undergoing bronchoscopy and the lung microbiome of bronchiectasis patients will be defined from the BALF samples using 16S rRNA Miseq sequencing.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. BSI (Bronchiectasis Severity Index) score

    Assessment of the non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis severity according to the BSI score at the time of enrollment.

    BSI score: scale of 0-26, is calculated from the results of age, BMI(body mass index), FEV1% predicted, exacerbations, hospital admissions, airway organisms colonisation, radiological severity etc.) 0-4, 5-8, >9 were separately defined as mild, moderate, severe bronchiectasis, higher score indicates probable higher mortality rate and hospitalisation rate.

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Lung function

    Lung function will be accessed by Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) and the parameters including FVC ( forced vital capacity), FEV1 (forced the first second of expiratory volume), FEV1% predicted, FEV1/FVC will be documented at the time of enrollment

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Sputum bacteriological evaluation.

    Sputum bacteriological (pseudomonas aeruginosa and other organisms) will be evaluated.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (CT).

    Chest high-resolution computed tomography (CT) results in the recent 6 months will be documented.

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Acute exacerbation

    The time of acute exacerbation in the following year will be recorded according to medical information.

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Hospitalization

    The time of hospitalization in the following year will be recorded according to medical information.

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Duration to the first exacerbation during the one-year follow up.

    The duration to the first exacerbation within one year after the sample collection.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchiectasis, run by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, China 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2021. 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?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gut microbiome and metabolomics of bronchiectasis patients and healthy control. (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT04490447, which also lists 1 linked publication.
