Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Using Blood
A Randomised, Double Blind, Sham Controlled Trial of Autologous Blood Lung Volume Reduction
調査の概要
詳細な説明
This will be a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial where the response in patients treated with blood LVR will be compared to patients treated with placebo (control group). Analysis will evaluate the mean change in lobar lung volumes as determined by computed tomography (CT) scanning at 6 weeks in two study arms based on subjects' blinded bronchoscopic intervention.
Initial assessment will comprise
- Clinical evaluation
- Full pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - static and dynamic lung volumes and gas transfer
- SGRQ
- Dyspnoea Score
- CT scan
Suitable patients will then be randomised to receive either autologous blood, or normal saline injected into the target airways.
Procedures in all patients will be carried out under conscious sedation and/or anaesthesia. After bronchoscopic examination of the airways, 100ml of the patients own blood will be collected using two 50ml syringes. A balloon catheter will be inserted into the target segment and 25 mls of the blood will be injected via the balloon catheter. The balloon will be inflated and maintained in position for about 6 minutes in order to minimise the risk of overspill of blood into other areas of the lung. The balloon catheter will then be repositioned in the next segment of the target lobe of the lung and the process repeated until all the segments are treated. It is anticipated that the whole procedure will last 45-60 minutes, up to and including balloon removal.
The placebo arm will involve an identical protocol, except that injections of 30mls of 0.9% saline will replace the injections of blood. 3 segments will be 'treated'. The blood retrieved at the start of the procedure will be discarded.
A course of antibiotics or pulse of corticosteroids after the procedure will be at the discretion of the investigator. Post-operative CXRs will only be ordered if there are clinical indications (e.g. cough, fever, increased breathlessness).
Reassessment will occur at 6 weeks. This will be undertaken by a blinded assessment team with no knowledge of which study arm a patient has been randomised into, and with no access to the initial procedure record. This removes expectation and subjectivity from the assessment. Assessment will consist of the following:
- Clinical evaluation
- Full pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - static and dynamic lung volumes and gas transfer
- SGRQ
- Dyspnoea Score
- Blinding questionnaire for patient and assessment team
- CT scan
After the assessments have been completed the patients will be un-blinded and informed which treatment group they had been assigned to.
Subjects will be made aware that the process is expected to be irreversible. However, if there are any problems during the bronchoscopy (for example worsening hypoxia), then the procedure will be abandoned as soon as it is safe to do so.
A log of adverse and serious adverse events for each patient will be kept as part of the safety monitoring of the trial.
Those who are entered into the control arm of the study will be offered the real procedure at the end of the study if benefits are apparent
