Small Airway Chronic Obstructive Disease Syndrome Following Exposure to WTC Dust
January 7, 2022 updated by: NYU Langone Health
Many "Survivors" in the World Trade Center (WTC) clinical program have a clinical syndrome characterized by chronic obstruction in small airways and persistence of lower respiratory symptoms despite therapy.
This study will test the hypothesis that persistent symptoms in WTC "Survivors" are associated with abnormal small airways whose dysfunction is amplified during exercise and is associated with biologic evidence of inflammation and remodeling.
The results from this study will have important treatment implications for our WTC population with potential applicability to larger populations with either inhalational lung injury and/or airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Active Comparator: Healthy Controls
|
This test helps determine if the decreased tolerance to exercise or shortness of breath with activity a patient is experiencing is caused by a cardiac disease, versus a pulmonary disease.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Resting Lung Function using Spirometry following Forced Oscillation Techniques
Time Frame: 4 Months
|
functional impairment at rest and with increased respiratory frequency (spirometry and forced oscillation techniques; FOT).
|
4 Months
|
Measure of Lung Function using spirometry after inhalation of a targeted anti-muscarinic agent.
Time Frame: 4 Months
|
Spirometry (meaning the measuring of breath) is the most common of the pulmonary function tests (PFTs), measuring lung function, specifically the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Comparison of measure of serum marker IL-6
Time Frame: 4 Months
|
Inflammation is caused by extra protein released from the site of inflammation that circulates in the bloodstream.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and plasma viscosity (PV) blood tests are commonly used to detect this increase in protein.
In this way they are used as markers of inflammation.

Inflammation is caused by extra protein released from the site of inflammation that circulates in the bloodstream.
