The purpose of this study is to identify and reduce tracheal collapse.', 'detailedDescription': 'Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (MKS), or congenital tracheobronchiomegaly, is an entity characterized by dilation of the trachea and bronchi, associated with respiratory infections. The prevalence among patients with respiratory symptoms is 0.4 to 1.6%. Its histological features include the atrophy or absence of longitudinal elastic fibers and smooth muscle cells of the airways, responsible for the structural alterations found, such as tracheobronchiomegaly, the presence of inter cartilaginous diverticula, bulging and dilation of the walls of the trachea and bronchi. The main signs and symptoms are cough, bulging and purulent expectoration, digital clubbing, dyspnoea, and wheezing and wheezing accompanied by recurrent respiratory infection. There may be association with other comorbidities such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis and obstructive sleep apnea / hypopnea syndrome (OSAS). Some of these symptoms are believed to be due to the tracheobronchial disease present in some patients, defined by excessive collapse of the intrathoracic trachea and bronchi resulting in airways obstruction of more than 50%. The main clinical impact is obstruction to expiratory airflow, with consequent air entrapment, reduction of cough and bronchial hygiene effectiveness, facilitating recurrent respiratory infections. Because it is a rare morbidity and little studied, the specific therapy is not consensual, and the main interventions are extrapolated from other pathologies. The use of non invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is reported as an option for treatment, however, there are no randomized studies proving its efficacy. The purpose of this study is to identify and reduce tracheal collapse and bronchi of SMK carriers with the use of positive pressure (CPAP-NIV) and to analyse their repercussion in the small airways.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Has Mounier-Khun Syndrome\n* Accept and signed informed consent form\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Other morbidity avoiding study procedures'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03101059', 'briefTitle': 'Airway Collapse in Patients With Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome: Titration With Positive Pressure to Reduce Collapse', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Sao Paulo General Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Evaluation of the Presence of Airway Collapse in Patients With Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome and Titration With Continuous Positive Pressure Through Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation to Reduce Collapse', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CAAE64001317400000068'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'MKS pax', 'description': 'Munier-Kuhn Syndrome patients', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Non invasive ventilation - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Non invasive ventilation - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'To identify, through bronchoscopy, the prevalence of collapse and whether it is possible to counteract an optimum pressure generated by NIV with CPAP that reduces tracheal and bronchial collapse in patients with SMK; To study the frequency of OSAS in patients with MKS ; Record reversal of collapse with CPAP using chest tomography; To identify the impact of CPAP on the distribution of pulmonary ventilation through the analysis of electrical impedance tomography.', 'armGroupLabels': ['MKS pax']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '05403000', 'city': 'São Paulo', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Brazil', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Rafael Stelmach, MD-PHD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'rafael.stelmach@incor.usp.br', 'phone': '551126615191'}, {'name': 'Evelise Lima, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'eveliselima53@gmail.com', 'phone': '551126615191'}], 'facility': 'Divisao de Pneumologia, Instituto do Coracao, Hospital das Clinicas HCFMUSP, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Sao Paulo', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -23.5475, 'lon': -46.63611}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Rafael Stelmach, MD-PHD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'rafael.stelmach@incor.usp.br', 'phone': '551126615191'}, {'name': 'Evelise Lima, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'eveliselima53@gmail.com', 'phone': '551126615191'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Sao Paulo General Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Clinical Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Rafael Stelmach', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'University of Sao Paulo General Hospital'}}}}
