However, the benefit of OCS use remains unclear,1Beigelman A. Durrani S. Guilbert T.W. Should a preschool child with acute episodic wheeze be treated with oral corticosteroids?

The Oral Corticosteroids for Treating Episodes of Significant Lower respiratory Tract Symptoms (OCELOT) trial was a multisite clinical trial conducted by AsthmaNet to assess the efficacy of OCSs in preschool-aged children with recurrent severe wheezing. The OCELOT trial and its companion trial, Azithromycin for Preventing the Development of Upper Respiratory Tract Illness into Lower Respiratory Tract symptoms in Children (APRIL),4Bacharier L.B.

These studies began enrollment in April 2011. The APRIL trial examined the efficacy of the macrolide azithromycin versus placebo administered at the early signs of a respiratory tract illness (RTI).4Bacharier L.B. Guilbert T.W. Mauger D.T. Boehmer S. Beigelman A. Fitzpatrick A.M. et al.Early administration of azithromycin and prevention of severe lower respiratory tract illnesses in preschool children with a history of such illnesses: a randomized clinical trial.JAMA. 2015; 314: 2034-2044Crossref PubMed Scopus (198) Google Scholar The OCELOT trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in children enrolled in the APRIL trial, who were randomized to receive either an OCS (1 mg/kg prednisolone administered twice daily for 5 days; maximum dose, 60 mg/d) or placebo when an RTI had progressed to a significant lower respiratory tract illness (LRTI). Families were instructed to contact either the study staff during the day or a centralized telephone triage center after hours when the child had specific LRTI symptoms, including respiratory symptoms that had not improved after 3 albuterol treatments in 1 hour, symptoms that required 2 albuterol treatments within 4 hours, use of 7 or more albuterol treatments in 24 hours, or concerning cough or wheeze for several days. Nurses at the telephone triage center used an algorithm to determine the appropriateness of initiating OCELOT therapy, followed by a research physician's confirmation by telephone. Albuterol and blinded trial medications were available at home, and OCELOT therapy was started based on this telephone assessment. The primary outcome measure of the OCELOT trial was the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score (score range, 0-12),5Ducharme F.M. Chalut D. Plotnick L. Savdie C. Kudirka D. Zhang X. et al.The Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure: a valid clinical score for assessing acute asthma severity from toddlers to teenagers.J Pediatr. 2008; 152: 476-480.e1Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (147) Google Scholar which was determined 15 minutes after bronchodilator and measured in the AsthmaNet clinic by a physician 36 to 72 hours after the initiation of OCELOT medication. Trial participation was terminated after 1 course of OCELOT therapy, and then the discharge care plan was prescribed by the research physician. Parents received asthma education and customized action plans. One hundred forty-nine of 607 children enrolled in the APRIL trial received either OCELOT treatment or open-label OCS treatment during the trial, and these occurred under one of 4 conditions (Fig 1). A total of 61 children received OCELOT treatment in a per-protocol fashion, whereas 88 received open-label OCS as part of clinical care outside of the trial (early terminators). Given the high rate of off-protocol use of open-label OCSs combined with the small number of children managed per-protocol and the potential for selection bias of children with more severe episodes being managed with open-label OCSs by providers outside the trial, the OCELOT Data Safety and Monitoring Board recommended premature termination of the trial because of a lack of feasibility in April 2013. Thus the primary outcome was not able to be evaluated. However, several important observations from the conduct of this trial warrant discussion and future consideration. Compared with children treated per-protocol, children who received open-label OCS treatment were more likely to have at least 1 positive aeroallergen skin prick test response, higher IgE levels, higher blood eosinophil counts, higher asthma-related hospitalization rates in the year before enrollment, and/or self-reported black race at baseline (Table I). However, both groups of children had similar rates of OCS courses and inhaled corticosteroid use in the year before enrollment (Table I). This suggests that children who received open-label OCSs might have been predisposed to experience an LRTI that rapidly progressed in severity because of greater baseline markers of type 2 inflammation and prior severe episodes requiring hospitalization. These children also share several of the criteria that predict wheezing exacerbations in children with asthma.6Teach S.J. Gergen P.J. Szefler S.J. Mitchell H.E. Calatroni A.

During the visit, 27.8% had wheezing, 20.4% had poor air entry, and 3.7% had suprasternal retractions, and the mean oxygen saturation in room air was 97.1%. OCSs might be more effective in treating children with more severe respiratory symptoms during LRTIs; however, this could not be evaluated because the severity of the index episode could not be objectively evaluated. Adverse events reported within 4 days of initiation of OCELOT therapy included otitis media (1 participant), acute bronchitis (1 participant), asthma exacerbation (3 participants), respiratory abnormality (1 participant), fever (1 participant), chest pain (1 participant), vomiting (1 participant), and pneumonia (1 participant). Although the OCELOT trial was carefully designed by the AsthmaNet Steering Committee and reviewed by clinical trials experts, including the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Protocol Review Committee and the Data Safety and Monitoring Board, the US Food and Drug Administration, and numerous institutional review boards, we encountered several problems that proved more challenging to deal with than we anticipated. The major barrier was frequent use of open-label OCSs despite careful informed consent with parental education to encourage communication with research staff during illness, written action plans, letters about trial medications to the primary care physician for parents to bring to the emergency department, and real-time support from triage nurses and experienced research personnel. The fact that the OCELOT trial was the first OCS efficacy trial that used a sequential trial design might have exacerbated these challenges by generating parent- or provider-perceived ineffectiveness of the first trial medication (APRIL treatment). This might have led them to seek open-label OCSs rather than to begin the OCELOT blinded treatment because OCSs were considered the accepted treatment for preschool wheezing at the time this study was conducted. There also might be a rapid course because of the child's inability to report symptoms and the parents' inability to detect symptoms in these young children, which leads to a more rapidly evolving course that does not allow time for an effective intervention at this stage of severity. Furthermore, the equipoise of this trial was compromised by the inertia of clinical practice relying on OCS treatment as the standard for rescue during such episodes rather than allowing for conduct of a placebo-controlled evaluation, despite the relatively low PRAM score these children exhibited at 36 to 72 hours of their LRTI. There are several lessons and implications for future studies. Ultimately, there remains a significant need to conduct efficacy trials evaluating OCS treatment in preschool-aged children with recurrent wheezing8Deshpande D.R. Martinez F.D. The dilemma of systemic steroids in preschool children with recurrent wheezing exacerbations.Pediatr Pulmonol. 2016; 51: 775-777Google Scholar targeting specific phenotypes. Large observational and pragmatic trials can provide valuable additional data on the comparative effectiveness and safety of OCSs in this population. It might be useful to compare OCSs in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with another active therapy, such as high-dose inhaled corticosteroids or azithromycin administered at doses previously shown to be effective in preschool-aged children. Children would be stratified by clearly defined clinical phenotypes that predict future wheezing LRTIs and response to these therapies.9Fitzpatrick A.M. Jackson D.J. Mauger D.T. Boehmer S.J.
