Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary endpoint will be the change from baseline on secretory IgA level in saliva after 4 weeks of study treatment;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective will be the reduction of the inflammatory response after LPS challenge: 1. Leukocytes, Neutrophils, C-Reactive protein, Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein levels in serum 2. Neutrophilic inflammation in induced sputum 3. Bronchoconstriction (FEV1 decrease) 4. Local symptoms like chest tightness cough 5. Systemic effects like increase of body temperature, chills and headache ;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline of scretory IgA level in saliva after 4 weeks of treatment with Broncho-Vaxom®;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The end point will be evaluated after the last patient out | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Reduction of the inflammatory response after a LPS inhalation challenge. The secondary endpoints supporting this objective will be the reduction on one of the following LPS-induced responses: 1. Leukocytes, neutrophils, CRP, LPS-binding protein (LBP) levels in serum 2. Neutrophilic inflammation and inflammatory cytokines in induced sputum 3. Bronchoconstriction (FEV1 decrease) 4. Local symptoms: cough, chest tightness 5. Systemic effects like increase of body temperature, chills and headache.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The end point will be evaluated after the last patient out | — |
