Systemic Inflammatory Response to CCRE (Endoscreen)
Systemic Inflammatory Response to 20,000 EU Clinical Center Reference Endotoxin in Normal Adults
Visão geral do estudo
Descrição detalhada
This is a single center, screening study involving recruitment of 18 normal volunteers (NV). The protocol is powered to compare absolute neutrophil count (ANC) in the blood 6 hours after inhalational challenge with CCRE compared baseline. In addition, as secondary endpoints, the investigators will evaluate inflammatory cytokine levels in systemic circulation and access for the presence of genes thought to be related to endotoxin response. Visits will be conducted by a study coordinator or other study staff, physical exams will be performed by the PI or other study physician.
Eighteen subjects will be recruited. There will be no gender or ethnic restrictions, and subjects will be healthy volunteers. Prior to enrollment in this study, subjects will have participated in our protocol 98-0799 (screening and database study for the CEMALB). Data such as medical history and allergy skin testing collected during the screening protocol will be included with data in this study. Subjects with positive allergy skin testing will not be excluded. Spirometry will be performed to determine the current level of lung function.
In order to identify those individuals who appear more susceptible to the systemic inflammatory effects of endotoxin exposure, subjects will undergo inhaled endotoxin challenge at the baseline visit followed 6 hours later by blood draw for complete blood count with differential to allow for calculation of absolute neutrophil count (ANC). Subjects will be considered "responders" if their peripheral ANC increases by at least 20% following inhaled endotoxin challenge.

Descrição
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects must be 18-50 years of age to be eligible for study participation
- Subjects must be willing to and able to provide informed consent and participate in all study procedures
Normal lung function, defined as (Knudson 1976/1984 predicted set):
- 1. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) of > 80% of that predicted for gender, ethnicity, age and height
- 2. Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second (FEV1) of > 80% of that predicted for gender, ethnicity, age and height
- 3. FEV1/FVC ratio of > 0.75 of that predicted for gender, ethnicity, age and height
- Oxygen saturation of > 94% Normal blood pressure (Systolic between 150 - 90, Diastolic between 90-60 mm Hg)
- Symptom Score (defined in section "f") no greater than 6 (out of a possible 24) for total symptom score with a value no greater than 2 for any one score.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any chronic medical condition considered by the PI as a contraindication to the exposure study including significant cardiovascular disease, diabetes requiring medication, chronic renal disease, or chronic thyroid disease.
- Physician directed emergency treatment for asthma exacerbation within the preceding 3 months.
- Moderate or Severe asthma
- Exacerbation of asthma more than 2x/week that would be characteristic of a person of moderate or severe persistent asthma as outlined in the current NHLBI guidelines for diagnosis and management of asthma.
- Nighttime symptoms of cough or wheeze greater than 1x/week at baseline (not during a clearly recognized viral induced asthma exacerbation) which would be characteristic of a person of moderate or severe persistent asthma as outlined in the current NHLBI guidelines for diagnosis and management of asthma
- Daily requirement for albuterol due to asthma symptoms (cough, wheeze, chest tightness) which would be characteristic of a person of moderate or severe persistent asthma as outlined in the current NHLBI guidelines for diagnosis and management of asthma. (Not to include prophylactic use of albuterol prior to exercise).
- History of intubation for asthma
- Daily use of NSAIDs, or inability to withhold NSAIDs for 4 days prior to dosing.
- Use of medications that may impact the results of the study to include, but not limited to, systemic corticosteroids, beta blockers.
- Cigarette smoking > 1 pack per month.
- BMI>35.
- Pregnant or breast feeding women will not be included.
- Subjects who are employed within the past 6 months in an occupation with high risk for endotoxin exposure, such as grain storage sites or swine containment.
Subjects will be deferred after any acute, non-chronic medical condition requiring treatment, such as bronchitis, pneumonia or febrile illness for a minimum of 4 weeks after complete resolution of symptoms.

Experimental: CCRE
20,000 EU of CCRE (Clinical Center Reference Endotoxin)

Endotoxin challenge: Subjects will undergo inhalation of 20,000 EU CCRE.
The CCRE will be inhaled by subjects as a nebulized preparation using an ultrasonic nebulizer until the challenge solution is completely spent (generally 10 minutes).

Change in peripheral blood PMNs
Prazo: 6 hrs post exposure
|
The objective of this study is to identify endotoxin responders, characterized by an increase in post-CCRE peripheral blood polymorphonuclear (PMN)s compared to that day's baseline values of > 20%.
Thus, there will be two data points for this cohort, blood PMNs at baseline and PMNs 6 hours following 20,000 endotoxin units (EU) of CCRE.
