Trial summary

Platelet-rich plasma(PRP), is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from whole blood. The main components of it are platelets, leukocytes and fibrin. Autologous PRP treatment can avoid the immune rejection caused by exogenous growth factor and the spread of disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Platelet-rich Plasma on Bronchopleural Fistula

Platelet-rich plasma(PRP), is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from whole blood. The main components of it are platelets, leukocytes and fibrin. Autologous PRP treatment can avoid the immune rejection caused by exogenous growth factor and the spread of disease. Evidence of the efficacy and safety of PRP has been proven in many studies. Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) represents a challenging clinical entity characterized by abnormal communication between the bronchial tree and the pleural space. Respiratory intervention has become one of the most common treatments to fight the disease. Although the short-term occlusion effect of conventional treatment methods of respiratory intervention is relatively easy to achieve, there is great uncertainty in the long-term treatment effect, and long-term large fistulas have little chance of healing. PRP has shown significant efficacy for hyperplastic scar of skin. Correspondingly, PRP will be applied as treatment of BPF to cure fistula.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cure rate for bronchopleural fistula

    Proportion of patients who is no need for endotracheal intervention and with stable clinical symptoms after PRP treatment

    Measured: within 4-6 weeks after administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC scale)

    The alleviation or aggravation of dyspnea assessed by the mMRC scale

    Measured: within 4-6 weeks after administration

  2. COPD Assessment Test (CAT)

    Change of respiratory symptoms and quality of life evaluated by the CAT

    Measured: within 4-6 weeks after administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PRP treatment in people with Bronchopleural Fistula, 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 3 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 21 Jun 2024. 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?

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?

Cure rate for bronchopleural fistula (time frame: within 4-6 weeks after administration). 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 21 Jun 2024.
