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.

Study Type

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
EXPERIMENTAL: GM-CSF

After the patients were randomly divided into two groups, they will receive whole lung lavage (WLL), and then one of the two groups with continue the next step as follows:

Induction period: The time of beginning is 1 week after whole lung lavage, aerosolized GM-CSF was given for 7 days (150ug bid), and then the durg was stopped for 7 days, the 2 weeks was designed as a cycle, a total of 6 cycles (3 months) were known as the induction period.

Maintenance period: maintenance period came up after the induction period. The dose of aerosolized GM-CSF was reduced to 150ug/d for three times a week, and then the durg was stopped for 7 days, the 2 weeks was designed as a cycle and maintenance period lasted for 9 months.

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
Time to the first relapse (the date: day/month/year)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
The standard of relapse: the condition of the disease after GM-CSF inhalation meeted the standard of effective treatment or the stability criteria, and then the condition deteriorated and meeted the deteriorate standard. The standard of effective treatment: oxygenation improvement (an increase in PaO2 of more than 10mmHg and / or a reduction in A-aDO2 more than 10mmHg). The stability criteria: an increase or a reduction in PaO2 of less than 10mmHg and / a reduction or an increase in A-aDO2 of less than 10mmHg. The deteriorate standard: deteriorate oxygenation (a reduction in PaO2 of more than 10mmHg and / or an increase in A-aDO2 of more than 10mmHg).
Up to 2 years

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
Time Frame
Relapse rate
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
Up to 2 years
FEV1 difference
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
Up to 2 years

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

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.
