Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the biophysical properties of mucus from the left and right mainstem bronchi in patients undergoing diagnostic bronchoscopy because of a unilateral radiological abnormality. It was hypothesized that abnormalities in the properties of mucus would be greater on the side with the lesion and that this would be most obvious in patients with unilateral lung cancer.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Bilateral paired samples of bronchial mucus were taken from 38 nonatopic patients (aged 59.8±12.6 years) including 16 nonsmokers, 14 current smokers and eight exsmokers (more than one year). Twenty of the 38 patients had a radiologically defined unilateral abnormality. Eight of these 20, including one nonsmoker, had lung cancer. The viscoelastic properties of the collected mucus were determined by magnetic microrheometry, and the analysis was carried out without knowledge of the histological diagnosis or source.RESULTS: The rheological properties of mucus strongly suggested which was the abnormal side. Within the group of 20 patients with a unilateral radiological abnormality, mucus from the side of the lesion had a lower value of the loss tangent, tan δ100 (P=0.004), indicating greater mucus recoil. This is consistent with poor mucus cough clearability on the lesion side. All eight cancer patients fit this mucus rheological pattern with a lower value of tan δ100 on the affected side (P=0.007). Four of the five other patients with a similar mucus abnormality were categorized as high cancer risk by other criteria, while six of seven patients with mucus that did not have this abnormality were considered to be lower risk. Based on the mucus analysis done at the time of the bronchoscopy, two of the ‘noncancer’ patients initially designated as high risk had cancer detected after several months of follow-up. Only two of the 18 patients without a defined unilateral lesion fit the mucus ‘cancer pattern’.CONCLUSIONS: These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that either abnormalities in mucus properties may represent a risk factor for the development of lung cancer or that bronchial mucus abnormalities may be associated with products secreted by the tumours that, in turn, may suppress mucus clearance.

Abstract

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD), including those related to connective tissue disease (CTD), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) carry high morbidity and mortality. Great efforts are under way to develop and investigate meaningful treatments in the context of clinical trials. However, efforts have been challenged by a lack of validated outcome measures and by inconsistent use of measures in clinical trials. Lack of consensus has fragmented effective use of strategies in CTD-ILD and IPF, with a history of resultant difficulties in obtaining agency approval of treatment interventions. Until recently, the patient perspective to determine domains and outcome measures in CTD-ILD and IPF had never been applied. Efforts described here demonstrate unequivocally the value and influence of patient involvement on core set development. Regarding CTD-ILD, this is the first OMERACT working group to directly address a manifestation/comorbidity of a rheumatic disease (ILD) as well as a disease not considered rheumatic (IPF). The OMERACT 11 proceedings of the CTD-ILD Working Group describe the forward and lateral process to include both the medical and patient perspectives in the urgently needed identification of a core set of preliminary domains and outcome measures in CTD-ILD and IPF.

Abstract

Rationale: Clinical trial design in interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) has been hampered by lack of consensus on appropriate outcome measures for reliably assessing treatment response. In the setting of connective tissue diseases (CTDs), some measures of ILD disease activity and severity may be confounded by non-pulmonary comorbidities. Methods: The Connective Tissue Disease associated Interstitial Lung Disease (CTD-ILD) working group of Outcome Measures in Rheumatology-a non-profit international organisation dedicated to consensus methodology in identification of outcome measures-conducted a series of investigations which included a Delphi process including >248 ILD medical experts as well as patient focus groups culminating in a nominal group panel of ILD experts and patients. The goal was to define and develop a consensus on the status of outcome measure candidates for use in randomised controlled trials in CTD-ILD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Results: A core set comprising specific measures in the domains of lung physiology, lung imaging, survival, dyspnoea, cough and health-related quality of life is proposed as appropriate for consideration for use in a hypothetical 1-year multicentre clinical trial for either CTD-ILD or IPF. As many widely used instruments were found to lack full validation, an agenda for future research is proposed. Conclusion: Identification of consensus preliminary domains and instruments to measure them was attained and is a major advance anticipated to facilitate multicentre RCTs in the field.
