Utility of PCD Diagnostics to Improve Clinical Care

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study is to gather data on the utility of tests that are used to make a diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). There is new testing available, called nasal nitric oxide testing, that non-invasively measures nitric oxide levels in the sinus cavity. Individuals with PCD characteristically have low levels, but this testing does not have extensive data from everyday clinical practice. The objective of this proposal is to improve the diagnostic approach to children and adults with clinical concerns for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Clinical Trial Description

This is an observational study to gather data on the utility of tests that are used to make a diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Participant selection will be on a referral basis for the consideration of a clinical suspicion for PCD. Participants will be identified by pulmonary providers that consider testing for PCD based on the clinical symptoms of the participant. These providers will then refer for enrollment in the study based on the clinical considerations for a diagnosis of PCD. Participants will be consented during the time of testing at the Pulmonary department. Any patient referred by a clinician for concerns for PCD, including those who have had PCD genetics sent, or a ciliary biopsy performed will be enrolled in the study. In addition, any participant who is referred for nasal nitric oxide testing and meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria for this testing, will also need to provide informed consent and be enrolled in the Nasal NO REDCap registry. This equipment is not currently FDA approved or CLIA certified for PCD diagnostic testing and therefore referring clinicians will be informed that the results of this test should not influence clinical decision making regarding the diagnosis of PCD. However, there is growing evidence that this testing has utility as a non-invasive screening tool for PCD and continued data from the general pediatric pulmonary population is needed. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
