Filter by:Pulmonary NTM infection is recognized as one of the most challenging infections to treat among people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF), notable for prolonged treatment courses and often poor response to therapy. Positive cultures for NTM occur in about 20% of children and adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, the source of NTM infection, modes of transmission, and exposure risks are poorly understood. It is thought that NTM is primarily acquired from environmental sites including soil and water as well as water supply systems to homes, hospitals, and clinics and from aerosols generated by flowing water from taps, showers, and fountains. Nonetheless, no direct molecular link has been established between environmental NTM and respiratory CF NTM. Healthcare-associated transmission of NTM among CF patients has been suspected and is of growing concern for CF Centers worldwide. Widespread global transmission of NTM, potentially via person-to-person transmission of fomites and aerosols has been reported. The parent HALT NTM study developed and published a standardized epidemiologic outbreak toolkit for investigation of healthcare-associated NTM outbreaks in CF Care Centers. We are now moving to a prospective investigation, with the long-term goal of real-time early identification and mitigation of potential NTM outbreak investigations coupled with healthcare environmental sampling and home of residence watershed analysis of PwCF identified as belonging to an NTM cluster and receiving care at a single CF Care Center.
The goal of this observational study o is to define whether, how and to what extent treatment with Trikafta/Kaftrio directly affects Pseudomonas aeruginosa in individuals with cystic fibrosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether Trikafta/Kaftrio affects the bacterial phenotypes and susceptibility to antibiotics; - whether Trikafta/Kaftrio impacts the bacterial virulence. Participants will be asked the permission to store and analyze P. aeruginosa isolates collected from respiratory samples for usual care plans before the initiation of treatment with Trikafta/Kaftrio and after 12 and 18 months of treatment. The results of bacterial analysis will be matched with clinical data at the specific time-points. We expect to define effects of Trikafta/Kaftrio on P. aeruginosa and identify bacterial phenotypes as possible risk factors for its efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, and tolerability and efficacy of VX-522 in participants 18 years of age and older with cystic fibrosis and a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genotype not responsive to CFTR modulator therapy.
Unless CFTR modulators are highly effective, the introduction of CFTR (Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) modulators could lead to concomitant reduction or discontinuation of respiratory co-therapies in real-life. Such reduction/discontinuation of respiratory co-therapies could lead to an overall decrease of the effectiveness of CF care. MODUCO study aims: 1) to compare the clinical effectiveness on lung function and pulmonary exacerbation of CFTR modulator during the year of initiation, according to level of co-therapy among CF patients; 2) to describe the nature and level of respiratory co-therapies (azithromycin, RhDNase, inhaled antibiotics) in the year before the initiation of CFTR modulator; 3) to describe the changes in respiratory co-therapies during the first and the second year following the initiation of CFTR modulator and compare between the two CFTR modulators; 4) to describe adherence to CFTR modulator during the first and the second year following its initiation; 5) to study the association between the nature of respiratory co-therapies and adherence to CFTR modulator during the first and the second year following its initiation. A national population-based comparative effectiveness study will be conducted, based on retrospective analysis of clinical and prescription data of the French CF registry linked with the French national health data system (SNDS).
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multi-system inherited disease. It's a common autosomal recessive illness. It mostly affects the lungs, liver, and pancreatic exocrine glands, as well as the intestines. The production of viscous mucus and an environment prone to chronic airway blockage. This allows harmful microorganisms to infect the lungs. The role of Exercise as a prognostic indicator or therapeutic aid is important in CF research around the world. The objective of this study is to find out the Effects of Breathing Exercises Combined with Endurance and Strength Training on Dyspnea and Quality of Life of patients with Cystic Fibrosis. It will be Quasi Experimental study. Treatment will be given to all participants 3 sessions in a week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treat-meant evaluation will be checked by CFQ-R+14. All patients will be treated with exercise program of Active cycle breathing techniques(ACBT), Pursed lip breathing, Endurance Exercise 20 to 30 min ( walking, cycling) and strength training with Thera-Bands (Bilateral arm raising, Bilateral knee extension). Exercise capacity will be measured with 6MWT. Dyspnea and fatigue will be measured with Borg scale.
After cystic fibrosis (CF) neonatal screening, some children remain with a not concluded diagnosis. In France, the medical follow-up is not standardized, some of them may be lost of follow-up. The aim of the study is to identify children at risk of developing CF. Other children carry mutation at risk of CFTR related disorder (CFTR-RD) but remain asymptomatic during childhood. The aim of the study is to evaluate those children by microbiology, respiratory function test and lung imaging tests to reclassify them in the CFTR spectrum.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of an oral ARV-1801(ACG-701) plus optimized background therapy (OBT) compared to oral placebo plus OBT, each administered for 14 days, in the treatment of participants with Cystic Fibrosis-related pulmonary exacerbations (PEx).
The goal of the study is to examine multiple markers of anthropometrics, body composition, sarcopenia and frailty and compare them to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) output, which is considered the current clinical gold-standard tool to measure body composition. The result of this study will provide detailed data regarding the nutrition and body composition within this Cystic Fibrosis population and also provide a baseline evaluation for use of these biomarkers in the future studies including evaluation of nutritional intervention. Further, the study will also include psychosocial and other patient-reported outcomes and medical contributors to understand their contributions to the nutritional failure in the adult advanced lung disease population. Finally, the study will evaluate both established and emerging nutritional and body composition parameters and link them to clinical outcomes in adults with CF across the spectrum of pulmonary function.
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in an ongoing global pandemic. It is unclear whether the relatively low number of reported cases of COVID-19 in people with CF (pwCF) is due to enhanced infection prevention practices or whether pwCF have protective genetic/immune factors. This study aims to prospectively assess the proportion of pwCF, including both adults and children with CF who have evidence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies over a two-year period. This study will also examine whether pwCF who have antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 have a different clinical presentation and what impact this has on their CF disease. The proposed study will recruit pwCF from paediatric and adult CF centres in Europe. Serological testing to detect antibodies will be performed on blood samples taken at month 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 with additional time-points if bloodwork is available via normal clinical care. Clinical data on, lung function, CF-related medical history, pulmonary exacerbations, antibiotic use, and microbiology and vaccination receipt, will be collected during routine clinical assessments. Associations will be examined between socio-demographic and clinical variables and serologic testing. The effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on clinical outcomes and analyse end-points will be examined to explore any age-related or gender-based differences, as well as subgroup analysis of outcomes in lung-transplant recipients and pwCF receiving CFTR modulator therapies. As pwCF receive COVID-19 vaccination a comparison of the development and progression of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in pwCF following natural infection and vaccination SARS-CoV-2 over time will be performed
