Filter by:OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy of monthly intravenous mucoid exopolysaccharide Pseudomonas aeruginosa immune globulin (MEP IGIV) given over 1 year in reducing the frequency of acute pulmonary exacerbation in patients with cystic fibrosis, mild to moderate pulmonary disease, and mucoid P. aeruginosa colonization. II. Assess the effect of MEP IGIV on FEV1, sputum density of mucoid P. aeruginosa, and the quality of life in these patients. III. Assess the safety of monthly MEP IGIV. IV. Assess population-based MEP IGIV pharmacokinetics during chronic therapy.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the stability of uridine triphosphate (UTP) and examine the metabolism of exogenous nucleotides on airway epithelial surfaces in patients with cystic fibrosis. II. Determine the acute safety and efficacy of aerosolized UTP in children with cystic fibrosis.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of recombinant adeno-associated virus-CFTR vector in patients with cystic fibrosis. II. Assess the safety of this gene therapy in these patients. III. Assess the in vivo gene transfer of this vector in these patients. IV. Assess the CFTR gene expression and physiologic activity following gene transfer in these patients. V. Assess the clinical impact of CFTR gene expression following gene transfer in these patients. VI. Monitor patient immune response directed against CFTR or vector components following vector administration.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the bioavailability and biologic effect of alendronate on bone metabolism in patients with cystic fibrosis. II. Assess the safety and efficacy of this treatment regimen in improving osteoporosis in this patient population.
OBJECTIVES: Determine whether copies of the cystic fibrosis gene (pGT-1) can be delivered to the cells lining the nose of cystic fibrosis patients using cationic liposome (DMRIE/DOPE) mediated gene transfer.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the optimum dose of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) required to achieve maximal bioavailability for patients with cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease. II. Compare optimized doses of TUDCA with ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid; UDCA) for effects on biliary bile acid composition and metabolism, serum biochemistries, fat absorption, and fat-soluble vitamin status in these patients.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effect of different doses of ibuprofen on neutrophil (polymorphonuclear leukocyte; PMN) delivery to a mucosal surface (the oral mucosa) in patients with cystic fibrosis and healthy controls. II. Determine the duration of effect (and possible rebound effect) of ibuprofen on PMN delivery to a mucosal surface in these patients.
OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the safety of ascending doses of CPX administered to adult patients with mild cystic fibrosis. II. Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of ascending doses of CPX in this patient population.
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the bioavailability of polymer-coated and buffered ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid) to unmodified ursodiol in patients with cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease or chronic cholestatic liver disease. II. Compare the differences in pruritus, weight gain, and liver function for both treatments.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria in sputum cultures from patients with cystic fibrosis. II. Compare the clinical course of patients with negative versus positive cultures.
