Filter by:This research proposes a pilot study using the combination of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin pump therapy, also known as sensor augmented pump (SAP) therapy, for cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) management in the inpatient setting, with the aim of improving glycemic control.
This study tests the effects of an experimental drug PC945 in people with cystic fibrosis whose lungs are infected by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. PC945 may be useful in treating patients infected with Aspergillus fumigatus as, unlike the usual treatments, it is inhaled into the lung and has been designed to stay there and treat the infection. Participants will continue to be treated with their usual cystic fibrosis treatment and will also receive PC945. The amount of fungus in the patients' phlegm will be measured over the course of the study. The study will take place at multiple sites in UK and will include approximately 18 participants. The maximum study duration will be about 16 weeks.
Despite the extensive literature on adverse clinical outcomes associated with vitamin D deficiency, there are currently no proven treatment strategy that effectively achieves and maintains optimal serum vitamin D status in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. For the treatment of vitamin D deficiency, CF Foundation currently recommends 2,000 IU daily. However, because achieving adequate serum 25(OH)D levels is a challenge in CF, higher doses of vitamin D may be necessary to reach and maintain vitamin D sufficiency. Poor oral bioavailability of ergocalciferol has been demonstrated in CF patients, which may potentially also be an issue with cholecalciferol. In order to optimize the treatment of vitamin D deficiency in CF, the kinetic disposition must be well understood. However, there are very few data currently available describing the kinetics of both vitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and to the investigator's knowledge, no studies have yet characterized the pharmacokinetic disposition of vitamin D and its metabolites in cystic fibrosis. Addressing this issue is crucial in effectively and safely correcting vitamin D deficiency in CF.
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacodynamic effect of VX-659, tezacaftor (TEZ), and ivacaftor (IVA) when dosed in triple combination (TC) in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) subjects with F/F or F/MF genotypes. The study was discontinued after completion of Part A due to Sponsor's discretion.
A study to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled molgramostim administered open-label to adult cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects with chronic pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection, with or without ongoing antimycobacterial guideline based combination therapy.
The purpose of this study is to use perfluorinated gas imaging to highlight regions of functional variation within the lungs of participants with cystic fibrosis (CF), and to correlate this with changes in spirometry, lung clearance index, and quality of life of CF subjects undergoing treatment for a pulmonary exacerbation.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of VX-659 in triple combination (TC) with tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del mutation.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary multi-system disease affecting approximately 30,000n children and adults in the USA. The diagnosis of CF requires biochemical confirmation (either abnormal sweat chloride measurement and/or identification of two CF disease causing mutations) plus clinical symptomatology. Measurements of sweat chloride remain cumbersome and although most common methodology to confirm CF diagnosis with limitations especially in young children less than 6 months of age and in areas that lack ability for the complex testing. The study objectives of this current research proposal include: A) To expand upon previously obtained pilot study data "Evaluation of a fluorescent-based chloride sensor as an optical sweat test to diagnose cystic fibrosis" B) To add the exploratory measurement of sweat Bromide as a first in human assessment observation, C) To Evaluate the development of smartphone based point-of-care technology for chloride and bromide sensor measurements, D) To further expand the class of citrate-based sensors with improved fluorescence and sensing properties for the design of new fluorescence-based analytical and diagnostic solutions based on the automated multi-halide detection system, and E) To develop point-of-care systems that can successfully integrate into clinical settings to improve current practices and facilitate early detection of disease.
Although Cystic Fibrosis is a complex genetic disease affecting many organs, lung disease is the primary cause of mortality. The objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of SNSP113 in healthy subjects and subjects with stable cystic fibrosis.
Early detection of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients is important to quickly trigger treatment and reduce respiratory damage. The investigators hypothesize that using home-based connected devices (CDs) in educated patients applying Cumulative sum charts (CUSUM) to monitor physiological parameters (PP) and patients' perception reported (PRP), will allow early detection of PEx. Objective: to study clinical validity of using CDs and evaluate adherence and satisfaction in CF patients and teams Design: 3 phase multicenter study in 36 CF patients aged >=12 years. Phase 1, patients are equipped during 3 months with CDs. PP and PRP to estimate CUSUM parameters are collected. In phase 2, patient's personalized educational plan to manage alerts is built. In phase 3, PP and PRP are collected during 12 months. Clinical validity, change in patients clinical data, quality of Life/Anxiety-Depression/Satisfaction, patients and teams' acceptance and adherence are assessed.
