Exploratory Study of Intrapulmonary Microdosing of Gram-negative Optical Imaging Detection Probe (BAC TWO)
Exploratory Clinical Study of Intrapulmonary Microdosing of Gram-negative Optical Molecular Imaging BACterial Detection Probe
Critically ill patients are often ventilated in dedicated critical care units to provide respiratory support. Despite best practice patients can often develop a condition called adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is characterised by deterioration in their respiratory function, and changes on chest x-ray. The correct management for ARDS is identifying the underlying condition causing the deterioration and identifying appropriate targeted therapy. One such cause is pneumonia, caused by a bacterial infection in the lungs of a ventilated patient. The patients may have been ventilated due to pneumonia but they may also develop pneumonia whilst ventilated. Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) has significant mortality.
Despite all the clinical and laboratory data at the investigators' disposal there remains great difficulty in the accurate diagnosis of pneumonia and therefore treatment is often given empirically. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for accurate methods to diagnose the presence of bacteria deep in the lung in ventilated critically ill patients. As such, the investigating team have developed and synthesised an imaging agent called BAC TWO. BAC TWO will be instilled directly into the lungs of 12 patients to assess whether it can label gram-negative bacteria in the human lung.

Detailed Description
The primary objective of this study is to deliver a BAC TWO microdose to 3 ventilated controls and 9 patients to assess the imaging parameters of BAC TWO over human autofluorescence and to assess if gram-negative bacteria can be detected in vivo in situ within the distal lung. The primary endpoint is to visualise the delivery of a microdose of BAC TWO and assess imaging parameters in;
- 3 mechanically ventilated patients to provide a control population (cohort 1)
- 6 bronchiectasis patients with predominant colonisation with gram-negative bacteria (cohort 2)
- 6 bronchiectasis patients with predominant colonisation with gram-positive bacteria (cohort 3)
- 3 patients with suspected pneumonia and pulmonary infiltrates in ICU (cohort 4)
For all cohorts, eligibility will be verified by a clinical trial physician after written informed consent has been obtained. For all cohorts, a bronchoscopy with lavage will be performed to harvest broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Fibre-based endomicroscopy (FE) will be performed on up to three areas and up to 80μg (± 25%) in total of BAC TWO will be instilled in up to 3 sites.
Participants will be asked to provide additional blood and urine samples with the intention of examining for systemic uptake of the BAC TWO probe. Routine blood investigations will be performed 4-6 hours following the administration of BAC TWO. The completion of all assessments at 4-6 hours post dose marks the end of the participant's participation in this study unless there are ongoing adverse events requiring resolution. The primary aim will be measured during bronchoscopy and all routine investigations will have been completed 6 hours post dose.
