Different Phenotypes of Bronchiectasis

July 1, 2019 updated by: Samah Mohammad Hussein, Assiut University
Bronchiectasis is defined as abnormal chronic dilatation of one or more bronchi. Patients have a structural abnormality of the bronchial wall that predisposes them to bacterial infection likely due to impaired mucus clearance. A vicious cycle of chest infections and chronic lung inflammation can lead to further damage of the bronchial wall and spread of disease to normal areas of bystander lung.

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

A search for an underlying cause, which may be amenable to a targeted intervention to prevent ongoing damage, is essential but often fruitless, and the focus of therapy rapidly turns to empiric treatments to prevent infective exacerbations and retard disease progression. The British Thoracic Society Bronchiectasis management guidelines provide an in-depth summary of the available literature and are an excellent tool for guiding treatment decision making. However, they do not provide guidance on which patients are most likely to benefit from specific interventions.Disease severity in bronchiectasis is hard to define. Radiological severity grading scores exist; however, there is often a disconnect between radiological severity, symptom burden and disease progressionIn 2014, competing bronchiectasis severity scores were published (FACED and the Bronchiectasis Severity Index (BSI).

In each of these, a combination of patient demographics, symptom scores, comorbidities, and clinical, radiological and microbiological parameters were used to construct scoring systems.

In case of the BSI, it predicted future mortality, and in the case of FACED, extended to prediction of future exacerbation frequency, hospitalisation and quality of life.These severity scores have utility in identifying an individual's risk of disease progression to a predefined outcome and aid in sub classifying this heterogeneous group of patients in a manner that may pave the way to future mechanistic studies, which explain how these different disease phenotypes arise and inform the development of targeted therapeutics.

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 to 70 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

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
( Severity of Bronchiectasis will be measured according to BSI scoring system and FACED scoring system
Time Frame: Baseline

BSI (Bronchiectasis severity index) score parameters include: Age, Body mass index, %FEV1 predicted, Previous Hospital admissions, Number of exacerbations in previous year, MRC dyspnea scale, Pseudomonas colonization, colonization with other organisms and radiological severity.

Scoring:

0-4 points Mild bronchiectasis 5-8points Moderate bronchiectasis 9+ points Severe bronchiectasis FACED score F - FEV1 A - Age C - Chronic colonization E - Radiological Extension D - Dyspnea

Scoring:

0-2 points Mild bronchiectasis 3-4 points Moderate bronchiectasis 5-7 points Severe bronchiectasis
Baseline

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
management of bronchectasis according to severity index
Time Frame: Baseline
we will modify treatment of bronchectasis according to different phenotypes of bronchiectasis and severity score.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
