Scientific titleEvaluation of the relative severity of pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation and therapeutic modification with intravenous prolastin by means of 18 fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computerised tomography (CT) scanning in subjects with usual chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency
Study acronymECLIPSE-AATD
Study objectives18 fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computerised tomography (CT) scanning will enable non-invasive in vivo assessment of global neutrophilic inflammation in the lungs that relates to recognised biomarkers. It is anticipated that the level of lung inflammation will be highest in subjects with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency and lowest in healthy controls. Furthermore, it is anticipated that, following a 12-week treatment period of alpha 1-antitrypsin augmentation with intravenous (IV) prolastin, there will be a reduction in pulmonary inflammation that will be quantifiable with reference to subjects with usual chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy controls.
Ethics approval(s)The study was approved by the Hammersmith and Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea REC on 08/08/2008 (ref: 08/H0707/46).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency
InterventionThis is a proof of principle study. Study patients will acts as own controls by comparison between pre- and post-treatment measurements, and inter-group comparisons. Only those patients with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency will be treated with intravenous infusion of prolastin at a dose of 60 mg/kg per week for 12 consecutive weeks.

Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Prolastin
Primary outcome measureQuantitative PET/CT using Patlak plots of uptake of 18FDG by lung tissue as a surrogate measure of pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation.

Primary and secondary outcome measures will be compared between groups at baseline. Only those patients with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency will be treated with prolastin, and comparison will be made between baseline and end of treatment values, within one week of treatment completion.
Secondary outcome measures1. Other biomarkers obtained from sputum, whole blood and plasma
2. Relationship between emphysema severity and neutrophilic inflammation by inter-individual and intra-individual comparisons

Primary and secondary outcome measures will be compared between groups at baseline. Only those patients with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency will be treated with prolastin, and comparison will be made between baseline and end of treatment values, within one week of treatment completion.
