About this study

Official title: Risk Factors and Biomarkers for Post-tuberculosis Lung Damage in a Chinese Cohort: Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study

This prospective study aims to determine the incidence of Post-tuberculosis lung damage (PTLD), examine trends in the changes in lung function, and investigate the impact of smoking and other factors on respiratory symptoms, lung function, and chest CT findings, which will aid in the development of prognostic and therapeutic strategies for PTLD.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: Post-tuberculosis lung damage (PTLD) refers to residual pulmonary impairment following the completion of tuberculosis (TB) treatment, characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and abnormal pulmonary function. The risk factors and biomarkers for PTLD have been scarcely investigated. Additionally, it remains unclear whether and to what extent cigarette smoking affects PTLD in patients with TB.

Methods and analysis: This prospective observational study will enroll 400 adult male ever-smoker or never-smoker patients aged 25-60 years, with newly confirmed active TB between 2022 and 2024 from the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at Peking University Third Hospital and the Tuberculosis Department at Beijing Geriatric Hospital. Baseline data (age, smoking history, and smoking pack-years), clinical symptoms, lung functions, and chest CT (computed tomography) findings will be prospectively collected. Respiratory questionnaires, lung function measurements, and chest CT examinations will be completed during follow-up visits at 6 months after the initiation of TB treatment, immediately at the completion of TB treatment, and at 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after the completion of TB treatment. Peripheral blood samples will be obtained at baseline to measure inflammatory mediators and cytokines in serum. The collected data will be analyzed to determine the incidence of and factors/biomarkers for PTLD after TB treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. lung function

    Forced expiratory volume (FEV1, l/min), and forced vital capacity (FVC,l/min) are the important parameters in lung function. FEV1/FVC, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and other indicators, will also be observed during follow-up.

    Measured: half a year, 1 year, 2 year, and 3-year follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Absorption of TB lesions on lung CT scans after TB treatment

    Chest CT images will be interpreted by a respiratory physician and a radiologist. Parenchymal and airway lesions detected on CT scans will be recorded

    Measured: half a year, 1 year, 2 year, and 3year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary TB, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Xiaoyan Gai, MD (13522708870, gxy81wfl79@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

lung function (time frame: half a year, 1 year, 2 year, and 3-year follow-up). 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 Jun 2022.
