Development of Airway Absorption Sampling Methods

Lead Sponsor:

Imperial College London

Collaborating Sponsors:

Genentech, Inc.

Conditions:

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Sarcoidosis

Eligibility:

All Genders

40-85 years

Brief Summary

The study will measure airway inflammation in probable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sarcoidosis as well as in healthy volunteers. This can help understand the molecular basis of these disea...

Detailed Description

IPF is a progressive disease caused by irreversible scarring of the lung, and disease trajectory is not easily predicted based on clinical measurements. Biomarkers reflective of molecular pathways inv...

  • Inclusion criteria for Sarcoidosis
  • Adult male or female patients aged 18 years and over
  • Women of childbearing age should not be pregnant, planning to get pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Clinical symptoms, CT scan and biopsy diagnosis of sarcoidosis
  • Patients with lung parenchymal disease and pulmonary stage II or more

  • Currently non-smokers: see exclusion criteria

Exclusion

  • Exclusion Criteria for probable IPF and Sarcoidosis Patients
  • Respiratory Conditions other than IPF or sarcoidosis:
  • Confirmed diagnosis of occupational lung disease
  • Drug-induced lung disease or hypersensitivity pneumonitis
  • Lung and systemic autoimmune disease including connective tissue disease. Patients with an auto-immune profile considered diagnostic for a specific connective tissue disease will be excluded, even in the absence of systemic symptoms. Non-specific rises in auto antibodies e.g. rheumatoid factor; anti-nuclear antibody etc. will not be used to exclude individuals from the study.
  • Asbestosis or other asbestos related disease (pleural plaques, mesothelioma, asbestos pleural effusions)
  • Granulomatous lung disease.
  • Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) requiring a specific treatment.
  • Predominant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with forced expiratory volume in 1 second /forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) \<0.70.
  • Patients with active tuberculosis or incompletely treated latent tuberculosis infection
  • Lung cancer
  • Upper respiratory tract infections in the past 6 weeks.
  • Systemic Conditions
  • History of vasculitis, autoimmune or connective tissue disease
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or chronic viral hepatitis
  • Clinically significant diseases (other than IPF or sarcoidosis) that may alter respiratory biomarkers: including other respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, haematological, cardiovascular, genitourinary, skin or neurological diseases.
  • Recent or ongoing malignant diseases.
  • Significant nasal anatomical defects preventing nasal sampling: including hypertrophy of turbinates, major septum deviation, nasal polyposis or recurrent sinusitis and nasal mucosal defects
  • Bronchoscopy Contraindications
  • Any contra-indication to bronchoscopy as set out in British Thoracic Society guidelines (34)
  • Smoking
  • A detailed smoking history will be taken from all participants: to include total pack years, smoking in the past year, and smoking in the past 2 weeks.
  • The history will include cigarettes, pipe smoking, cigars, vaping, and shisha. Any form of smoking is not permitted within 2 weeks of bronchoscopy.
  • 4.2 Exclusion Criteria for Healthy Volunteers
  • Current inflammatory/ immunological conditions. Any clinically significant diseases that may alter respiratory biomarkers: including respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, haematological, cardiovascular, genitourinary, skin or neurological diseases.
  • Recent or ongoing malignant diseases.
  • Significant nasal anatomical defects preventing nasal sampling: including hypertrophy of turbinates, major septum deviation, nasal polyposis or recurrent sinusitis and nasal mucosal defects
  • Upper respiratory tract infections in the past 6 weeks.
  • Cigarette smoking:
  • no cigarettes in the last 2 weeks not more than 10 cigarettes in the past year \<10 year lifetime pack history of smoking
