Filter by:The study aims to asses the ability of cell tests based on the analysis of the anti-Aspergillus cell responses and identify Aspergillus bronchitis with patients with cystic fibrosis. In addition, the study will evaluate the contribution of biological classification of aspergillosis according to criteria recently proposed by Baxter et al. compared to the classification used in clinical practice in the hospital of Montpellier.
Monoglyceride of DHA (DHA-MAG) is a lipid compound for which intestinal absorption would increase the ratio DHA / arachidonic acid (AA) and promote the synthesis of specific metabolites involved in the resolution of inflammation. The PREMDIC project, initiated at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke, is a randomized double-blind study for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and aims to evaluate whether daily supplementation monoglyceride of DHA (a fatty acid omega-3 family) will reduce lung inflammation and improve pulmonary function.
Prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, phase II clinical study of subjects crossing over from an approved inhaled antibiotic to inhaled nitric oxide as compared to a placebo control arm.
This is an open-label extension study for participants who completed a Phase 3, placebo-controlled study of ataluren in participants with nonsense mutation cystic fibrosis (nmCF) not receiving chronic inhaled aminoglycosides.
This is an observational comparative study to compare the standard-of-care methods for sweat testing used to support diagnosing cystic fibrosis (CF) against a new method of sweat testing called the CF Quantum Sweat Test System. The results of the new device in this study are for comparison ONLY and will NOT be used to diagnose, treat or mitigate the subject's condition.
Venous catheters are necessary for the treatment of many patients. Showering with a venous catheter is often prohibited due to the infection risk when the insertion site becomes wet. Therefore these patients are challenged to keep the catheter insertion site dry and always covered with a dressing. Washing themselves is often impossible without assistance of a nurse or significant other. For patients with a catheter connected to an infusion line, it is even more difficult. Showerpatch is a newly developed dressing that safeguards the insertion site of an IV catheter from water during bathing activities. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the impact of the availability of Showerpatch by comparing the outcomes in patients regarding the patient's autonomy in bathing activities, the material use and the time needed from caregivers in home care. Additionally qualitative data on patient's bathing activities and the use of Showerpatch will be collected.
We propose to test the effectiveness of the combination of CF pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) on absorption of Ravicti® and subsequent restoration of nasal epithelial cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated chloride transport during the nasal potential difference (NPD) test. Funding source FDA Office of Orphan Products Development.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate lung clearance index (LCI) by a standardized procedure in a well characterized study setting and to assess feasibility of LCI as a more sensitive method than forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) to measure effectiveness of antibiotic therapy in patients with CF aged 6 years and older with mild to moderate lung disease.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary pharmacodynamics (proof of concept) of QBW251 in healthy subjects and cystic fibrosis patients following single and multiple doses. This first-in-human and proof of concept study will consist of 4 parts, with Parts 1 and 2 in healthy volunteers and Parts 3 and 4 in cystic fibrosis patients.
Assessment of the safety, tolerability and early signs of efficacy of three times a day orally administered BAY63-2521 in adult delta F508 homozygous Cystic Fibrosis patients not on treatment with Orkambi
