Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To prospectively evaluate whether rapid qualitative assay for GM-CSF autoantibodies using KBM LineCheck APAP at the initial visit contributes to early diagnosis of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (APAP) and to assess the diagnostic utility of the test in patients with unconfirmed diffuse lung diseases (DLDs) presenting with diffuse ground-glass opacities (GGOs) on HRCT.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Co-primary outcomes assessed within 6 months after registration are: 1) the positivity rate of rapid GM-CSF autoantibody test in patients with unexplained diffuse GGOs, 2) the proportion of patients with final diagnosis of APAP among GM-CSF antibody-positive cases (positive predictive value), and 3) the negative predictive value of the test among GM-CSF antibody-positive cases.

Key secondary outcomes

1) Descriptive analysis of the clinical characteristics of GM-CSF antibody-positive patients, 2) establishment and storage of a specimen repository, and 3) comparison between the results of KBM LineCheck APAP and quantitative GM-CSF antibody levels measured by ELISA.

Key inclusion criteria

1) Patients evaluated or treated at Kumamoto University Hospital, Kyoto University Hospital, Kyorin University Hospital, Institute of Science Tokyo Hospital, Chiba University Hospital, Saitama Red Cross Hospital, or Tohoku University Hospital; 2) 18 years and older; 3) undiagnosed DLDs presenting with diffuse GGOs on HRCT at the initial visit; and 4) patients who received a written explanation of the study and provided written informed consent.

Key exclusion criteria

Other related information

This is a multicenter prospective observational study with no intervention. Consecutive newly presenting patients with diffuse GGO on HRCT will be prospectively enrolled at participating institutions from the date of institutional approval through March 31, 2028, if they meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Clinical information, blood tests, chest radiography, HRCT, and pulmonary function tests will be collected within routine clinical practice, and results of BAL, cryobiopsy, and surgical lung biopsy will be collected when clinically indicated. An additional 10 mL serum sample will be collected for research use to perform rapid qualitative testing with KBM Linecheck APAP and quantitative measurement of GM-CSF autoantibodies by ELISA. Primary evaluation will be based on the final diagnosis established within 6 months after registration.
