Registered outcomes16

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Average (Follow-up - Baseline) From All BiopsiesNine years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: From all biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated. From all biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated.Histology on bronchial biopsies pre-treatment and post-treatment will be compared. All biopsies will be graded according to the WHO classification for bronchial epithelium for this outcome, and all the following outcomes. WHO Classification Grade Normal 1.0 Reserve Cell Hyperplasia 2.0 Metaplasia 3.0 Mild Dysplasia 4.0 Moderate Dysplasia 5.0 Severe Dysplasia 6.0 Carcinoma in Situ 7.0 Carcinoma 8.0 The difference (follow-up mean - baseline mean) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Dysplasia Index (Follow-up - Baseline) Using All Biopsies9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: From all biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the percentage with a WHO score greater than or equal to 4 is calculated (this is the definition of Dysplasia Index (DI)). From all biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the percentage with a WHO score greater than or equal to 4 is calculated. The difference (follow-up DI - baseline DI) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Average (Follow-up - Baseline) Using Reference Sites9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: The biopsies used in this analysis are those from the following 6 anatomical sites pre-specified in the protocol to be biopsied: RUL (Right upper lobe: the superior region of the right lung), RML (Right middle lobe: an anatomic portion of the right lung), RB6 (The carina in the right lower lobe at the entrance to the superior segment), LUL (Left upper lobe: the superior portion of the lung), LUDB (Left upper division bronchus: the carina between the lingular orifice and the left upper lobe), and LB6 (The carina in the left lower lobe at the entrance to the superior segment). From these biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated. From these biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated. The difference (follow-up mean - baseline mean) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Maximum (Follow-up - Baseline) Using Reference Sites9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: The biopsies used in this analysis are those from the following 6 anatomical sites pre-specified in the protocol to be biopsied: RUL, RML, RB6, LUL, LUDB, and LB6. From these biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the maximum WHO score is used. From these biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the maximum WHO score is used. The difference (follow-up maximum - baseline maximum) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Dysplasia Index (Follow-up - Baseline) Using Reference Sites9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: The biopsies used in this analysis are those from the following 6 anatomical sites pre-specified in the protocol to be biopsied: RUL, RML, RB6, LUL, LUDB, and LB6. From these biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the percentage with a WHO score greater than or equal to 4 is calculated (this is the definition of Dysplasia Index (DI)). From these biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the percentage with a WHO score greater than or equal to 4 is calculated. The difference (follow-up DI - baseline DI) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Average (Follow-up - Baseline) Using Matched Sites9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: The biopsies used in this analysis are restricted to biopsies from anatomical sites that were biopsies during both the baseline and follow-up bronchoscopies, thus creating "pairs" of biopsies. From these biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated. From these biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated. The difference (follow-up mean - baseline mean) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Maximum (Follow-up - Baseline) Using Matched Sites9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: The biopsies used in this analysis are restricted to biopsies from anatomical sites that were biopsies during both the baseline and follow-up bronchoscopies. From these biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the maximum WHO score is used. From these biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the maximum WHO score is used. The difference (follow-up maximum - baseline maximum) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Dysplasia Index (Follow-up - Baseline) Using Matched Sites9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: The biopsies used in this analysis are restricted to biopsies from anatomical sites that were biopsies during both the baseline and follow-up bronchoscopies. From these biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the percentage with a WHO score greater than or equal to 4 is calculated (this is the definition of Dysplasia Index (DI)). From these biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the percentage with a WHO score greater than or equal to 4 is calculated. The difference (follow-up DI - baseline DI) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.
SecondaryChange in Average (Follow-up - Baseline) Using Baseline Non-Normal Pairs9 Years
This outcome measure is created for each subject as follows: The biopsies used in this analysis are restricted to biopsies from anatomical sites that were biopsies during both the baseline and follow-up bronchoscopies, thus creating "pairs" of biopsies. Any "pair" for which the baseline WHO score was 1 (i.e. normal tissue) was excluded from the analysis. From these biopsies scored at the baseline bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated. From these biopsies scored at the follow-up bronchoscopy, the mean WHO score is calculated. The difference (follow-up mean - baseline mean) is used as the outcome measure for each subject.

The analysis was restricted to the 107 subjects (52 in the iloprost group, 55 in the placebo group) with at least 1 non-normal biopsy at baseline, thereby excluding the 18 subjects (8 in the iloprost group and 10 in the placebo group) who had only normal biopsy tissue at baseline.
