ECLA: Evaluation of Efficacy and Tolerance of Cladribine in Symptomatic Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
ECLA is a phase II, multicenter study testing sub cutaneous cladribine 0.1mg/kg/j during 5 days, administrated every month for 4 courses, in symptomatic adult patients with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and impairment of lung function patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Cumulated incidence of response to treatment [6 months]
response to treatment after 6 months is defined as ≥10% improvement of forced vital capacity (FVC) and/or ≥10% improvement of postbronchodilator forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and ≥200ml
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Responses to treatment [3 months]
- Absolute variations of FEV1, FVC, residual volume (RV), and Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), (expressed in mL) [6 months]
- Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia or thrombopenia [6 months]
- Incidence of infection [6 months]
- Incidence of grade 3 or 4 side effects [6 months]
- Response to treatment of extra pulmonary localizations of the Langerhans disease [6, 9, and 12 months]
- Incidence of pneumothorax [12 months]
- Mortality [12 months, 4 years]
- Incidence of secondary malignant disease [4 years]
- Treatment response [at 6 months]
- Treatment response [9 months]
- Treatment response [12 months]
- Variation of nodular and cystic semiquantitative scores in High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) [6 months]
