Volatile Organic Compounds as Markers of Acute Rejection in Lung Transplant (VOC-TP)

April 22, 2021 updated by: Hopital Foch

Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in the Exhaled Air Breath of in Bilateral Lung Transplant Recipients Bi-pulmonary Transplant Patients: Search for Acute Rejection Markers

The aim of research is to identify markers of acute rejection by VOC analysis in exhaled breath of bilateral-lung transplanted patients. 120 bi-lung transplanted patients will be divided into two groups : patients with acute rejection diagnosed on transbronchial biopsies and patients with no acute rejection. Exhaled breath will be collected for VOC analysis woth electronic nose and mass spectrometry. VOC profiles will be compared between the two groups of patients.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Prospective single-center study. A single visit, no follow-up. The visit will take place before or within five days from date of transbronchial biopsies (BTB). It will include a noninvasive collection of exhaled breath for VOC analysis. VOC analysis will be conducted using two types of devices: "electronic nose" and mass spectrometry.

200 bi-lung transplanted patients will be enrolled and divided into two groups.

  • Group A, Acute rejection: 100 patients. Diagnosis of acute rejection retained on transbronchial biopsies or functional anomalies with the necessity of modifying the immunosuppressive regimen.
  • Group B, control: 100 patients. Patients without respiratory functional abnormality and normal transbronchial biopsy.

VOC, detected by electronic nose and identified by mass spectrometry, will be compared between patients with a confirmed diagnosis of acute rejection (group A) and patients without rejection (control group B)

The duration of participation of each patient is 1 day. The duration of the inclusion period is estimated at 54 months from the first inclusion. The expected total duration of the research is 54 months

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Bi-pulmonary transplant patient
  • Acute rejection group: Patients with transbronchial biopsies performed as part of their usual follow-up or for functional abnormality ; Diagnosis of acute rejection retained on the following arguments: histological lesions of cellular rejection or histological lesions of humoral rejection or normal histology but diagnosis of "functional rejection" retained and immunosuppressive treatment indicated
  • Control group: Patients benefiting from systematically programmed transbronchial biopsies as part of post-transplant follow-up with normal histology and absence of functional respiratory abnormality

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient unable to realize a vital capacity measure
  • Neoplasia currently treated
  • Unresolved acute bronchial complication (stenosis or dehiscence)
  • Immunosuppressive treatment of acute rejection already begun
  • Patient who has already participated in the protocol and already included in one of the two study groups

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Volatile Organic Compounds by electronic nose (eNose)
Time Frame: 1 day
Comparison of Volatile Organic Compounds profile detected by electronic nose between lung transplant patients patients with a confirmed diagnosis of acute rejection and patients without rejection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
