Filter by:The present study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating, multiple ascending doses of Cavosonstat (N91115) in healthy subjects.
Cystic fibrosis is so far a disease whose treatment remains essentially symptomatic care teams perceive the boundaries of a support mainly focused on drug treatments. The patient had no other choice but to learn to live with their disease, the goal is to make every effort so that tames the disease while maintaining high self-esteem that gives meaning to his life, allowing, among other things, a good grip of treatment. Through this research we hope to encourage the integration of art therapy in the course of care of cystic fibrosis patients, from children to adults before and after transplantation, in connection with the patient education and counseling
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoru Sanjie capsule in the treatment of cyclomastopathy.
This study evaluates two doses of RPL554 and placebo in adult patients with cystic fibrosis. All patients receive all three treatments in a randomised sequence.
The purpose of this study is to find the safest and most effective way to administer IV antibiotics to treat acute pulmonary exacerbations (APEs) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) that are caused by pathogens, like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study will test the safety and effectiveness of two commonly prescribed IV antibiotics: tobramycin and colistin. Though regularly used, not much is known about how these drugs compare with each other in terms of their toxicities, both during short term treatment of an APE and after many treatment courses with these drugs over many years. There are currently no guidelines on the safest and most effective antibiotics to use when treating APEs. We will study kidney function, sputum cultures, and treatment outcomes in patients receiving routine administration of one of these two IV antibiotics. We will also test these outcomes in patients receiving a less frequent dosing schedule for IV colistin. The hope is that this new schedule for IV colistin, which is twice a day and adjusted based on blood and urine tests, will reduce harmful side effects, such as kidney damage, while still being a powerful treatment against CF microbial pathogens.
Chronic lung diseases show a gradual onset of irreversible lung damage which can lead to severe breathing problems and/or respiratory failure. Imaging is central to guiding treatment; however, current techniques are either inaccurate or involve exposure to radiation. Recent developments in lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide promise as a radiation-free alternative. However, conventional MRI cannot directly show changes in distribution of inhaled air or absorption of gas which are important signs of early lung disease. Recently MRI imaging of the inhaled gas contrast agent Xenon has been developed which can provide this important information. This study aims to determine how Xenon MRI can help determine air flow distribution and gas uptake in the lungs. The investigators will also be able to compare the information from patients with that from healthy volunteers. This should give insight into the processes involved in chronic lung diseases and help evaluate disease extent in patients.
Airway disease, featuring intense inflammation, is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Mechanisms of CF airway inflammation remain unclear, hampering development of better treatments.This time-sensitive ancillary study leverages a unique longitudinal cohort of CF infants, assessing the early phase of airway disease. Through the use of innovative cell and fluid based tools for in vivo profiling and in vitro testing of BALF samples, this translational effort will yield unprecedented insights into mechanisms of PMN dysfunction in CF, and assess new paths for early intervention.
An airway clearance technique (ACT) is one of the core treatments for children with chronic lung diseases who are unable to clear their secretions effectively. Unfortunately adherence to performing an ACT is low with a reported rate between 40 - 70%. Up to the present, there has been no way to objectively measure adherence to an ACT. With new technology, it is now feasible to connect an electronic manometer to an airway clearance device to objectively measure how often the child is actually performing their ACT. The first part of this proposed study is to objectively measure adherence against reported adherence over a 4 month period. During the second 4 months a video game will be added to the digital manometer which only operates if participants are performing their ACT properly. Adherence will again be measured.
This study evaluates the role of AZLI in the treatment of acute pulmonary exacerbations of CF. For consecutive exacerbations patients will receive AZLI + IV Colistin, or two IV anti-pseudomonals.
This observational study evaluates prevalence of functional perinea disorders (stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder syndrome, dysuria, anal incontinence) on CF adults patients of the North-West CF Network. Its aims are to measure the severity of urinary and anorectal symptoms ; assess their impact on patients' quality of life, sexuality, care and social life and relationships ; identify the medical and demographic factors associated with the severity of urinary and anorectal disorders and their impact and determine the relationship between the severity of these disorders, various repercussions, and risk factors.
