Scientific title
Study objectivesDoes treatment with a clinically relevant dose of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) reduce pulmonary and systemic inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inhalation in humans?
Ethics approval(s)Health and Social Care (HSC) Research Ethics Committee (REC2), Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS), approved on 21/07/2008 (ref: 08/NIR02/46)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute lung injury (ALI)
InterventionSubjects will be randomised to palifermin 60 µg/kg per day or normal saline placebo intravenously for 3 days prior to LPS inhalation.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF)
Primary outcome measureThe ability of KGF to reduce alveolar inflammation, as measured by the difference in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) concentration between the KGF and placebo treated groups at 6 hours post LPS inhalation.
Secondary outcome measures1. Alveolar inflammatory response at 6 hours post LPS inhalation
2. Plasma inflammatory response (C-reactive protein) at 24 hours post LPS inhalation
3. Alveolar matrix metalloproteinase activity at 6 hours post LPS inhalation
4. Intracellular signalling in the alveolar space at 6 hours post LPS inhalation
5. Indices of alveolar epithelial and endothelial function and injury at 6 hours post LPS inhalation
