Airway Temperature

NCT02401074 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-12-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Airway irritation, cough and bronchial spasm are common symptoms in patients with airway inflammatory diseases such as asthma. The primary focus of this exploratory study is to determine if there is an increase in tissue temperature in airway mucosa during asthma exacerbation. The results of this study will bring a better understanding of the potential involvement of an increase in airway mucosa temperature in the pathogenesis of various symptoms in these patients. The finding should help to advance the development of new therapeutic strategies for these debilitating diseases.

Conditions

  • Asthma

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Segmental Bronchoprovocation with Allergen (SBP-Ag)

Premedication will consist of intramuscular glycopyrolate (0.2 mg), and midazolam (0.5-2.0 mg). Subjects will also be given a short-acting beta agonist, albuterol (2 puffs, 180 mcg) prior to bronchoscopy. Following nasopharyngeal anesthesia (topical lidocaine), the fiberoptic bronchoscope will then be passed into a pulmonary segment or subsegment. During the SBP-Ag challenge, approximately 15% of the Ag-PD20 allergenic extract will be instilled into the segment (5)
