Scientific titleClinical and immune modifying capacity of Broncho-Vaxom tested by LPS challenge in healthy volunteers
Study objectivesTo demonstrate that healthy volunteers treated with Broncho-Vaxom (BV) will develop total antibody levels (i.e. total secretory IgA in saliva) after 4 weeks of treatment compared to placebo.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of the State Medical Association Hesse, 27 August 2012, ref: FF61/2012
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBronchitis
InterventionSkin prick test, blood sampling, at visit 4, all subjects will inhale a single dose of 50ug Escherichia coli - Lipopolysaccharide via a medic aid nebulizer and an aerosol provocation system powered by compressed air, ECG and spirometry
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe change from baseline on total IgA level in saliva after 4 weeks of treatment
Secondary outcome measures1. The reduction of the inflammatory response after a LPS inhalation challenge
2. The reduction on one of the following LPS-induced responses:
2.1. Leukocytes, neutrophils, CRP, LPS-binding protein (LBP) levels in serum
2.2. Neutrophilic inflammation and inflammatory cytokines in induced sputum
2.3. Bronchoconstriction (FEV1 decrease)
2.4. Local symptoms: cough, chest tightness
2.5. Systemic effects like increase of body temperature, chills and headache
