Filter by:This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter study (1 year) with 50 patients with cystic fibrosis for whom treatment with KAFTRIO® is prescribed.Cystic fibrosis is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease linked to a mutation of the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) protein gene. For the majority of patients, no treatment with a CFTR protein modulator was available until the arrival of the KAFTRIO® triple therapy (ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor). Clinical studies on this triple therapy demonstrate significant improvements in FEV (forced vital capacity) and also very rapid health improvement of patients. However, there is a lack of data recorded in real life at home by patients to trace the evolution curves of health parameters and patient perceptions from the first days after initiation of treatment. The PHEAL-CR-K application, specially developed for the study, makes it possible to collect physiological parameters and perceptions collected via connected objects or declared manually in the application. These data will reflect the evolution of the parameters from the start of the treatment and over a period of 3 months. In addition, the composition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the air exhaled in the early phase of treatment with KAFTRIO® will be monitored for the group of patients followed at Foch Hospital. Exhaled air is an ideal biological fluid for clinical monitoring (non-invasive collection and real-time analysis). In cystic fibrosis, biomarkers in the exhaled air have been correlated with functional and clinical parameters. The objective is to collect the air exhaled before initiating treatment with KAFTRIO® and during treatment, to identify VOCs whose expression would be modified early. Changes in the composition of the exhaled air will be correlated with follow-up clinical data collected with the PHEAL-CR-K application and with functional data obtained during measurements of breath by spirometry (FEV) and sweat concentrations of chloride ions collected at the during a sweat test. The identified COVs could become early predictive biomarkers of clinical response.
Preliminary evaluation of an obstacle alerting system to enhance the user's independent mobility by improving their confidence to drive and their safety in driving a powered wheelchair.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare autosomal recessive disease involving multiple organs, especially the lungs and digestive organs. It is most commonly seen in Caucasians. Only a few Chinese CF patients have been described in literature, taking into account the large population of China. The main objectives of this study are to accurately evaluate the prevalence of CF, the status of disease, the diagnosis and treatment, the quality of care, and the health related outcomes in China.
This is a prospective, longitudinal multicenter observational study comparing home to office spirometry and home to office weight and height measurements. The aim of the study is to estimate the accuracy and variability of home spirometric measurements over time, and to assess the feasibility and acceptability of home measurements.
Shortness of breath (dyspnea) during exercise is a major source of distress and is a commonly reported symptom in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A recent drug treatment option known as Trikafta, which contains elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor, may be used in patients with CF to help improve lung health. However, the effects of this combination therapy on dyspnea and exercise performance, a known predictor of survival in CF, are not clear. The investigators aim to understand the effects of Trikafta on these symptoms and to gain new insight into the potential health improvements in CF from using this treatment option.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by alterations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene, characterized by multisystemic alterations, mainly in the lung, intestine, sweat, and bile ducts. In addition to pulmonary involvement, the presence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency also increases the risk of survival, as it is associated with malnutrition and deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin D. Vitamin D, in addition to its role in bone health, in the case of CF patients with chronic inflammation, it has been suggested that many of the cytokines that regulate the inflammatory response contain elements that respond to vitamin D, so vitamin D could play an essential role in the regulation of the inflammatory response in CF, which could favor lung function. However, more than 50% of CF patients present vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency, despite the different schemes suggested for supplementation in different age groups, which suggests that new strategies are needed to normalize vitamin D levels, which will allow us to see its clinical effect on the inflammatory response, by decreasing the number of exacerbations and thus perpetuating or improving lung function, as well as on bone mineral health.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, pharmacodynamics (PD) and safety of ELX/TEZ/IVA in participants 6 years of age and older with a non-F508del ELX/TEZ/IVA-responsive cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) mutation.
The goal of this study is to pilot a new CF-specific cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention (CF-CBT-A) for prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety for adolescents with CF. CF-CBT-A is a 10-session program that was developed with input from adolescents with CF and parents and CF care teams to be highly relevant to the unique needs of adolescents with CF. The program will be piloted at 3 U.S. CF centers with 10 to 12 adolescents with cystic fibrosis who have mild to moderately severe symptoms of depression and/or mild to severe symptoms of anxiety. It will be delivered by mental health coordinator members of the participant's CF care team who receive training, with sessions occurring in-person or via telehealth. We will examine feasibility and acceptability of the intervention as indicated by measures of completion, intervention fidelity, and adolescent and parent satisfaction ratings. We will also examine preliminary evidence of effectiveness. If this intervention is successful, symptoms of depression and anxiety and perceived psychological stress will decrease and coping self-efficacy and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) will improve.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of automated oxygen administration (FreeO2 system) alone or with high-flow oxygen on dyspnea and exercise tolerance in people with desaturating chronic lung disease compared to fixed oxygen therapy.
To elucidate the similarities and distinctions in non-pulmonary manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF) including distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) incidence and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) use between US and UK CF populations in a parallel study using data from the UK and US CF registries. To assess how CFTR modulators impacted upon recorded PERT use and incidence of DIOS.
