Filter by:Bronchiolitis Obliterative Syndrome (BOS) is the primary noninfectious pulmonary complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and usually carries a poor prognosis. It occurs in about 10% of children underwent HSCT. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) published guidelines and criteria for the diagnosis of BOS. BOS defined by spirometric criteria according to modified NIH consensus guidelines: FEV1 < 75% predicted and a greater than 10% decline from pretransplant baseline, and FEV1/FVC <0.7 (FCV: Forced Vital Capacity). Nevertheless Cheng and al. indicate that the magnitude of FEV1 decline before diagnosis exceeded the diagnostic requirement of a greater than 10% decline compared with baseline FEV. Moreover, the decline in FEV1 prior to BOS diagnosis appeared to occur within 6 months for those patients. Recent studies suggest that any intervention should be targeted during the FEV1 decline, and before the diagnosis of BOS. For this, inhalated treatment are used: Bergeron et al. reported improvements in symptoms as well in FEV1 one month followed treatment including formoterol and budesonide in a prospective trial including adults (12% increase of FEV1 for 62% adults). Williams and al. in another prospective adult's cohort, showed that the association between fluticasone, montelukast and azythromycin was associated with stable lung function, reduced systemic corticosteroids, and improved quality of life at 3 months for adults with BOS. In our national French prospective cohort which include 300 children with HSCT from 2014 to 2017 (RESPPEDHEM Programme Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique 2012), 35% of children presented a decline of FEV1≥ 10% without BOS criteria (FEV1 < 75% and FEV1/FVC <0.7). Among them, some received combination of corticoids and long acting beta agonists for 6 months. Children with this type of inhalated treatment improved their FEV1 to 88.1% predicted while children without any treatment have a FEV1 at 80.7% predicted. Our hypothesis is that association of Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol can be used as a treatment of the decline of FEV1 for children and so prevent BOS.
This research study will evaluate the difference in effectiveness of nasal suction between two different suction devices (NoseFrida and bulb syringe) in infants that have bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis (a virus infection that goes into the lungs, which subsequently causes difficulty breathing, difficulty sleeping, and difficulty eating and drinking in children) is a common infection in young children. The caregiver-participants will be supplied with a suction devices (either NoseFrida and bulb syringe suction). The device should be used to clear nasal secretions as needed following discharge from the Emergency Center. The participants will be asked to use either a NoseFrida device or a bulb syringe. Caregivers will monitor how well their baby is breathing, eating/drinking, sleeping and how many times the baby has been seen by a medical provider in the 5 days post discharge from the Emergency Center. Post discharge, caregivers will complete a REDCAP survey asking questions about how their baby has been doing over the first 5 days following hospital discharge. REDCAP survey will be sent day 5 and again on day 7 if not completed. This completes study involvement.
The proposed study is a pilot randomized control trial to determine the efficacy of dexamethasone use in hospitalized children who are less than 2 years of age with non-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis admitted to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from February 1 to May 31, 2022. It is hypothesized that the use of standard airway-dose steroids (0.6mg/kg dexamethasone) will improve the clinical outcome of children hospitalized for non-RSV bronchiolitis, which will be evident by decreased length of stay.
Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the tolerability and safety of two dose levels of aerosolized L-CsA vs placebo in addition to SoC therapy for BOS in adult allo-HSCT recipients. Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives of this study are to assess PK and exploratory efficacy and quality of life of two dose levels of aerosolized L-CsA vs placebo in addition to SoC therapy for BOS in adult allo-HSCT recipients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of itacitinib in participants with post-lung transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).
Background. Viral bronchiolitis is a common cause of hospitalization for acute respiratory insufficiency in young infants. Despite several RCT have tested the effectiveness of various agents, currently there is no proven specific therapy for bronchiolitis, treatment remaining mostly supportive. Based on available studies, exogenous surfactant replacement in bronchiolitis is likely to have a promising safety and efficacy profile. Primary objective. To evaluate whether Curosurf treatment is effective compared to placebo (air) in reducing the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in the first 14 days of hospitalization, in infants less than 12 months suffering from acute hypoxemic bronchiolitis. Methods. a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial. 19 Italian PICUs will enroll children less than12 months with hypoxemic acute bronchiolitis, with need for invasive mechanical ventilation. Once the patient has been recruited, randomization should occur as quickly as possible. The first dose of Curosurf or placebo should be administered within 60 minutes of randomization. The treatment may be repeated once, not before 12 hours and not later than 24 hours after the initial dose. The assignment of the type of treatment will be communicated by the Coordinator center to the researcher attending the patient's bed. The same medical researcher will then take care of administering the assigned treatment, masking the procedure with appropriate precautions, for example with screens or closing the patient's room whenever possible. The preparation and administration of treatment, medication or placebo, can be done by a nurse who must not disclose the assigned treatment and will not be involved in the patient's care until the conclusion of the study. Patient evaluation will be carried out by other physicians and/or nurses who will not be aware of the assigned treatment. Regardless the received treatment, all patients will be assisted according to standard practice of the Unit. For the purposes of the study, several parameters will be collected 15 minutes before, and 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours after administration of the drug: oxygenation indexes such as OI, OSI, PaO2 and SatO2; Invasive ventilation parameters, i.e. current volume, positive end expiratory pressure, peak pressure, respiratory rate, FiO2 and mean airway pressure; and ventilation indexes such as PaCO2 and End Tidal CO2. If it is necessary to repeat the treatment, the above parameters will be re-collected with the same timepoints. During the study all the AE/ADR will be recorded.
Delivery of aerosolized Infasurf to bronchiolitis patients with who are not on assisted ventilation can provide sufficient delivery of Infasurf to small airways to improve ventilation and thereby shorten the duration of the respiratory illness.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the FreeO2 device in shortening the hospital length of stay during a first episode of hypoxemic bronchiolitis in infants less than 1 year of age. FreeO2Bronchio study is a multicenter, prospective, controlled, randomized, open-label study.
The purpose of the study is to compare two ways (nasogastric tube (NGT) and nasoduodenal tube (NDT)) to provide nutrition to infants admitted to the hospital for viral bronchiolitis and who require high flow nasal cannula therapy.
A randomized control trial of 130 infants admitted to the paediatric high care admission ward will be enrolled, and randomized to either "high flow humidified oxygen" or "standard therapy".
