Filter by:Background Nebulised hypertonic saline (HS) is an established basic airway clearance treatment in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). However, there is scarce evidence regarding the practical implementation and administration of different HS volumes, including physiotherapy and aspects of breathing pattern. The aim of the study was to implement standardised and age-adjusted nebulised volumes of hypertonic saline in cystic fibrosis patients, included in physiotherapy and lung drainage techniques.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term treatment with lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor in people 12 years and older with Cystic Fibrosis.
We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the drug Plerixafor (Mozobil) can lead to clinically relevant efflux of CD117+ stem cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood of normal controls and patients awaiting lung transplantation. The investigator's hypothesis is that Plerixafor (Mozobil) will lead to significant mobilization of CD117+ stem cells to the peripheral blood.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the global approach to the pain in cystic fibrosis patients with chronic or intermittent pain. The patients will receive in addition to an usual pharmacological and psychological management, sophrology sessions at home. The results of this study will provide a new strategy of management of the patient's pain.
This study is designed to evaluate the effect of multiple doses of lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor on cardiac repolarization, as detected by QT/QTc interval corrected for heart rate in healthy subjects.
This study is designed to investigate the effect of food on the relative bioavailability of 2 different strengths of fixed-dose combinations of lumacaftor and ivacaftor tablet formulations.
This is a Phase 3, 2 part (Part A and Part B), open label, multicenter study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor in subjects with cystic fibrosis aged 6 to 11 years who have the F508del-mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
The primary aim of the research is to evaluate whether an alternative model of cystic fibrosis (CF) physiotherapy care can produce statistically significant improvements in clinical and patient reported outcomes, and whether this alternative model is economically advantageous and/or sustainable. Children randomised to the control group will receive 24-months of current model of CF care at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Children randomised to the intervention group will receive 24-months of current model of CF care at GOSH PLUS a weekly structured, individually prescribed and personally supervised exercise intervention at a local fitness facility or at school. The exercise prescription will include aerobic, anaerobic, strength, core conditioning and stretching components. The main objectives of the study are: 1. Determine differences, if any, in lung function between the two groups; 2. Determine differences, if any, in exercise capacity between the two groups; 3. Evaluate cost of care of alternate model of care versus current model of care.
The investigators are developing a new nuclear medicine imaging technique for measuring liquid absorption in the airways that can be applied to screen new medications being developed to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). The investigators believe that the absorption of the small molecule radiopharmaceutical Indium 111 diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (In-DTPA) will indicate changes in liquid absorption in the airways and demonstrate whether new CF medications will be effective. In this study the investigators will determine whether the imaging technique will demonstrate similar results when it is repeated on different days. They will also determine how their results change when subjects utilize several common CF medications.
