Condition

Condition

Patients with COPD coexisting GERD is associated with an increasing acute exacerbation (AECOPD) rate. Still, a causal relationship between refluxate and airway inflammation derived from airway specimens has not been reported yet. The anti-gastric acid intervention resulted in conflicting results in reducing the AECOPD rate. Non-acid refluxate might be the key, but it has not been proven yet, particularly in AECOPD patients. Prokinetic agents are an effective add-on therapy for proton pump inhibitor (PPI) poor-responding GERD. Theoretically, prokinetic agents act as a possible solution to reduce non-acid refluxate. Therefore, we hypothesize that AECOPD patients with coexisting GERD might have elevated levels of non-acid refluxate (bile acids [BAs] and pepsin) and airway inflammation profile (vs. those not coexisting GERD), and these elevated markers might have differential reduction in responding to PPI treatment with or without combined prokinetic agent.

Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To investigate whether in AECOPD patients, those with coexisting GERD might have elevated levels of the non-acid refluxate (BAs and pepsin) and airway inflammation profile compared with those without coexisting GERD

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To investigate in AECOPD patients with coexisting GERD, whether their sputum non-acid markers (BAs and pepsin) and inflammatory markers (interleukin-8 [IL-8], matrix metalloproteinase-9 [MMP-9]) and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) might have a differential reduction in responding to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment with or without a combined prokinetic agent

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

To compare treatment changes of sputum levels of non-acid refluxate (BAs and pepsin) and inflammation profiles (IL-8, MMP-9, FeNo) between AECOPD patients coexisting GERD treated with PPI (lansoprazole) in the absence or presence of combined prokinetic agent (mosapride) for 1 and 4 weeks (GERD vs. GERD-P group)

Key secondary outcomes

- The prevalence of GERD at the timing of AECOPD
- Difference of CAT score, FeNO, blood test (CBC/DC, CRP) and sputum levels of non-acid refluxate, airway inflammation profiles between those with or without GERD at the timing of AE (non-GERD group vs. GERD group)
- Treatment changes of CAT score, blood test (CBC/DC, CRP) and sputum levels of non-acid refluxate, airway inflammation profiles in each group (before and after comparisons in each group, respectively)
