Filter by:Retrospective cohort study using routinely collected annual data on lung clearance index (LCI) in combination with clinical data to predict survival in patients with Cystic Fibrosis. The primary study endpoint is the association of LCI with the compound outcome survival or lung transplantation in patients with CF.
CHF 6333 is a medicinal product on development for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and non-CF bronchiectasis and undergoing clinical testing. It has not yet been approved by the authorities for the treatment of these diseases. CHF6333 is an inhaled anti-inflammatory which mechanism of action is based on the inhibition of Human Neutrofil Elastase. The safety and tolerability of single and repeated ascending doses of inhaled CHF 6333 was previously investigated in healthy subjects: information was gathered on the uptake, distribution and excretion of the medicinal product being tested (pharmacokinetics). In this current clinical trial CHF 6333 will be tested in patients(CF and NCFB) for the first time. Three dose level will be tested during the first part of the study, as single administration. One repeated dose will be administered in the second part of the study.
People with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) have problems digesting their food properly. More than 8 in 10 people with CF must take medication to assist their digestion. In spite of this, complications such as bowel blockage occur. Finding out how already licenced drugs for CF work in the gut is the first step in repurposing medications. Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor with Ivacaftor is a drug combination which corrects the basic defect in CF an has shown improvements on lung function. The purpose of this study is to evaluate, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and patient-reported outcomes, whether Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor with Ivacaftor has an effect on improving gastrointestinal problems in CF.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ABBV-3067 given alone and in combination with various doses of ABBV-2222 in adults with Cystic Fibrosis who are homozygous for the F508del mutation.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition characterised by recurrent lung infections, inflammation and progressive lung damage. Patients with CF and advanced lung disease are limited when exercising and performing activities of daily life, due to increased breathlessness and lower oxygen levels. Exercise is an important part of treatment in CF, having been shown to slow down the lung disease and improve quality of life. Patients with CF are encouraged to exercise both at home and during hospital admissions, even when the lung disease is advanced. Often, oxygen therapy is used in patients whose oxygen levels are otherwise too low during. This, however, does not improve their breathlessness. Recently, a device to deliver air at flows higher than what other device allow has become available. High flow nasal therapy (HFNT) provides patients with air or a blend of air and oxygen at flows up to 60 L/min. HFNT can improve oxygen levels and reduce shortness of breath in many situations both in the acute and chronic setting. HFNT was shown to improve the tolerance to exercise in patients with other respiratory conditions (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). In CF, HFNT is routinely used for patients admitted with acute respiratory failure (inability to maintain adequate oxygenation) with positive results. In this study, the Investigators aim to understand if HFNT can improve the exercise tolerance in patients with CF and advanced lung disease, by reducing breathlessness and avoiding the drop in oxygenation observed during simple training. The Investigators propose a short study to assess if further large clinical trials are feasible and practical, and will therefore collect preliminary data to have some results to use for planning other studies. All patients who are admitted in the Leeds Regional Adult CF Unit will be considered for participation in the study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of a continuous glucose monitor device (CGM) in screening for cystic fibrosis related diabetes. The investigators will also study how fat deposition in the pancreas and liver impacts insulin production and response, as measured by a frequently sampled oral glucose tolerance test.
A Totally Implantable Venous Access Device (TIVAD) that is no longer in use for intravenous therapy, should be flushed at established intervals to promote and maintain patency. No consensus has been established regarding the optimal duration of the interval between 2 maintenance sessions. This exploratory study will focus on catheter status under the current 3-monthly flush regimen.
Part 1 is a study to demonstrate that Creon (pancrelipase) delayed release (DR) capsules manufactured with a modernized process (MP) is non-inferior to currently marketed pancrelipase DR capsules in participants with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to cystic fibrosis (CF), as measured by coefficient of fat absorption (CFA). Part 2 is a study to demonstrate that Creon (pancrelipase) manufactured with an alternate active pharmaceutical ingredient site (AAPIS) is non-inferior to currently marketed active control (Creon®) in participants with EPI due to CF, as measured by CFA. Safety is evaluated in each part.
This is a prospective, multicenter pilot study to investigate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a tailored tele-coaching intervention to enhance medical adherence in patients with CF.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetically inherited disease in the Caucasian population. Bilateral lung transplantation (LUTX) is a viable option for these patients. Frequently, the surgical operation of LUTX is complicated by hemodynamic instability, intractable hypoxia and respiratory acidosis. For these reasons, Intraoperative extracorporeal life support - ECLS- is required. Data on predictors of use of intraoperative ECLS in CF patients undergoing LUTX is scarce. Aim of this retrospective observational study was 1) to find possible risk factors at the time of enlistment associated with the intraoperative use of ECLS and 2) to compare the outcomes of CF patients treated with ECLS during LUTX or not.
