A Prospective Study on Optimizing Treatment for ABPA

November 19, 2021 updated by: Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

A Prospective, Two-center, Clinical Study to Optimize the Treatment for Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA)

This study is being done to evaluate the efficacy of treatment using oral glucocorticoid, anti-fungal agent, anti-IgE mAb for patient with ABPA.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a study randomly treating ABPA patients with either anti-fungal agent plus OCS or anti-IgE mAb (omalizumab) plus OCS.

OCS is the basic treatment for ABPA by suppressing allergy and inflammation. Prednisone tablets is given orally 0.5mg/kg/d for 4 weeks and gradually reduced to for a total usage of 6 months. Reduction may failed if disease exacerbate.

Anti-fungal agent (mainly itraconazole) could reduce the load of fungus but its application is still controversial. The investigators use itraconazole 200mg bid for 8 months and 100mg bid for another 8 months.

Omalizumab was given 600mg q4w for at least 6 months. The investigators use Anti-fungal agent and Omalizumab as a supplement to OCS to evaluate the better treatment plan for ABPA patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
incidence of exacerbation: the exacerbation times indicated by symptoms and clinical index
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after last treatment dose
the exacerbation times indicated by symptoms and clinical index, including commom respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, cough, expectation, dyspnea and so on. As well as new shadows in chest CT. Those situation may cause the extreme clinic visit and hospitalization, which could be measured by times or days.
Up to 6 months after last treatment dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ST.George's respiratory questionnaire
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after last treatment dose
The SGRQ is a classic respiratory questionnaire including the symptoms, activity, and impact to life. The higher score means better disease control.
Up to 6 months after last treatment dose
asthma control test questionnaire
Time Frame: Up to 6 months after last treatment dose
The ACT is a classic asthma questionnaire recommended by GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma). ACT mainly measures the symptoms. The higher score means better disease control.
Up to 6 months after last treatment dose
