Summary

Aim: to investigate the influence of alpha1-antitrypsin (A1-AT) nebulization on levels of A1-AT in BAL and plasma in patients with stable bronchiectasis.

Method: single-blind placebo-controlled randomised clinical trial. 19 stable bronchiectasis patients with chronic bronchial infection and 10 control patients (without bronchiectasis) underwent a bronchoscopy in order to assess levels and inhibitory capacity of A1AT and neutrophilic elastase. Afterwards, the 19 bronchiectasis patients were randomly allocated to receive inhaled A1AT 250mg diluted in 10ml 0.9% saline solution once a day for a month (Group A, n: 10) or placebo (10ml 0.9% saline solution; group B, n: 9). A new BAL was performed in both groups (A and B) 24 hours after the end of treatment (1month) to re-analyze A1AT and NE.

Conditions

  • Bronchiectasis Adult

Interventions

DRUG

Group A

one nebulization with 250mg alpha-1-antitrypsine diluted in 10ml injectable solution once a day during 1 month. A CR-60 high flow compressor and Ventstream nebulizer were used for nebulization.

DRUG

Group B

10ml of 0.9% NaCl saline solution nebulised once daily for 1 month. A CR-60 high flow compressor and Ventstream nebulizer were used for nebulization.
