Filter by:STOP PEDS is a pilot study of children with CF ages 6-18 across 10 sites in North America. The primary goal is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of a multicenter randomized trial comparing immediate antibiotics versus tailored therapy for pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) treatment in this population.
RECOVER is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to measure the real world clinical effectiveness of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor triple combination therapy (Kaftrio) in people with cystic fibrosis over a two year period. Measured outcomes include measures of lung function, lung inflammation, lung imaging, abdominal symptoms, gut inflammation, liver function, pancreatic exocrine function, nasal inflammation, quality of life and adherence to therapy. The study will examine outcomes in children aged six years and above over a period of two years. The first phase of the study will commence in 2020, recruiting children 12 years and older who have started on clinical treatment with Kaftrio.
This study was evaluate the effect of elexacaftor (ELX)/tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA) on glucose tolerance in CF participants, 12 years of age and older who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function mutation (F/MF genotypes), with abnormal glucose metabolism.
Phase 1b/2a, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and phage recovery profile of AP-PA02 multi-bacteriophage therapeutic candidate administered by inhalation in subjects with cystic fibrosis and chronic pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection.

Iron is a biologically essential micronutrient. Iron deficiency alters erythropoiesis and is considered as a major cause of disability worldwide. Interestingly, iron overload is never observed in cystic fibrosis contrarily to others chronic respiratory diseases. Moreover, iron deficiency reported prevalence in CF is very high (up to 60% in retrospective series) and is correlated to an alteration of respiratory function. Cystic fibrosis patients should be tested annually for iron deficiency. Serum ferritin is the best diagnosis tool for iron deficiency (specificity 87% for a threshold < 30 µg/L). Previously published studies used less performant markers such as serum iron (< 12 µmol/L) or transferrin saturation (< 12%), which are markedly influenced by the systemic inflammation. CF patients experiences frequent pulmonary exacerbations leading to systemic inflammation: iron stores should therefore be assessed at optimal time with no inflammation. The I-MUCO study aims to determine the exact prevalence of iron deficiency in CF patients. We aimed to identify risk factors for iron deficiency onset.
The purpose of this study is to validate and utilize a personalized medicine approach to identify potential treatments with current FDA approved CFTR modifiers for non-approved CF gene mutations. The study will perform ex vivo testing of CFTR function and current marketed CFTR modulating drugs on expanded nasal cells at Cincinnati Children's Human Nasal Epithelium (HNE) Core Laboratory. The results will be confirmed and translated into bedside care through an N of 1 trial to determine effectiveness of treatment.
The study aims to determine if a popular dextrose candy alternative yields a similar glycemic curve compared to the standard oral Dextrose solution used in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test.
This is a prospective, single-center, nonrandomized observational study to investigate the utility of urine lipoarabinomannan (LAM) as a test to identify individuals at very low risk for having a sputum culture positive for Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM). The study is designed to evaluate if a urine test can eliminate the need for obtaining a sputum specimen to screen for NTM in individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The participants will be asked to provide 3 urine samples either in person or by mail over approximately 3 years. The 3 urine sample requests will be timed to coincide with their usual clinical care and routine sputum collection.
A feasibility RCT comprising two groups: 1. Intervention (SELF-BREATHE in addition to standard NHS care) 2. Control group (standard / currently available NHS care)
