Filter by:Cystic fibrosis has many health consequences. A reduction in the ability to perform exercise in patients with CF is related to greater death rates, steeper decline in lung function, and more frequent lung infections. However, the physiological mechanisms for this reduced exercise capacity are unknown. The investigators recently published the first evidence of systemic vascular dysfunction in patients with CF. Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that the blood vessels are involved with exercise intolerance in CF. This study will look at how and if oxidative stress contributes to both artery dysfunction and exercise intolerance in CF.
Patients with cystic fibrosis older than 18 years will performance a Bruce test with non invasive ventilation (once) after 30 minutes they perform the same test with oxygen supplementation. Measurements: Transcutaneous level off carbon dioxide, saturation, puls and dyspnea scale.
This study aims to examine features of MRSA that are associated with chronic MRSA infection and bacterial persistence despite IV antibiotic therapy. Subjects are asked to expectorate sputum and complete CF symptom diaries both at beginning and end of IV therapy.
This is a proof of concept study. The aim of this study is to assess a device measuring rheological properties of human sputum of four populations : - 10 patients with Broncho Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - 10 patients with asthma - 10 patients with cystic fibrosis - 10 healthy volunteers.
To determine the pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of FDL169 in healthy female subjects.
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH) single ascending dose study being conducted to better understand the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD5634 in healthy subjects
This is a study to examine the effect of combining chronic oral azithromycin with inhaled tobramycin in adolescent and adult subjects with cystic fibrosis who are chronically infected with P. aeruginosa.
Individuals living with cystic fibrosis (CF) commonly report high symptom burden, poor quality of life, and additional psychosocial stressors; these burdens are particularly heightened in advanced stages of the disease. Although supportive care (aka palliative care) has been shown to improve many of these outcomes among patients with illnesses such as cancer, no clinical trials to date have tested the impact of supportive care for patients with CF. The purpose of this pilot randomized clinical trial study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and perceived effectiveness of an embedded supportive care intervention, whereby a supportive care specialist will be integrated within the usual care experience of patients with advanced CF. The investigators will enroll 50 patients with advanced CF, who will be equally randomized to receive this embedded supportive care intervention or usual care. Secondary measures include: patient quality of life, mood, coping style, satisfaction with care, and symptom burden. This study will provide preliminary data to support the development of a larger, definitive, Phase III randomized clinical trial.
The Lung Clearance Index, measured by multiple breath washout, is a measure of lung function that is considered a research tool in Canada as the device used to measure it is not approved by Health Canada. The study will assess lung function in patients undergoing routine lung function testing for clinical indications (Cystic Fibrosis and Other Respiratory Diseases). In addition, healthy controls of different ages will be asked to perform this lung function test to gain reference data that can be used to interpret LCI in patients with lung disease.
The purpose of this research study is to find out if the combined therapy lumacaftor-ivacaftor effects how people with cystic fibrosis respond to an oral glucose tolerance test, a test for diabetes.
