Filter by:This is a phase II, dose ranging, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The aim of this study is to assess the safety of increasing doses of roscovitine administered orally for 4 cycles of 4 consecutive days (treatment "on") separated by a 3 days treatment free period (treatment "off") in adult CF subjects with Cystic Fibrosis carrying 2 Cystic Fibrosis causing mutations with at least one F508del-CFTR mutation and chronically infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study involved 36 Cystic Fibrosis patients: 24 treated and 12 controls.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate if the use of a newly developed lipid formulation versus fish oil would better enable the absorption of essential fatty acids after 12 weeks of supplementation.
This study evaluates the ability of the drug sildenafil to improved exercise capacity, cardiac performance during exercise, and quality of life in patients with moderate to severe CF lung disease. 3/4 of the subjects will receive sildenafil and 1/4 will receive placebo.
Children with Cystic Fibrosis, ages greater than and equal to 36 months of age and less than or equal to 18 years of age, with a 25OHD level less than 30 ng/dL will be asked to participate in this study. Upon consent, they will be given oral cholecalciferol supplementation of 250,000 IU during their next CF clinic visit. The safety will be assessed by measuring a serum calcium level within 1 week of supplementation. Efficacy will be assessed using repeated 25OHD levels throughout the course of 12 months. Feasibility will be assessed with the previous two measures as well as a brief questionnaire administered via telephone within 1 week of supplementation.
The investigators aim to assess whether pulmonary MRI (hyperpolarised 129Xe ventilation imaging [Xe-MRI]) can detect changes in ventilation defects in patients with CF before and after treatment for a pulmonary exacerbation. The investigators will determine whether changes seen using pulmonary Xe-MRI are associated with changes in pulmonary function (spirometry, lung volumes, lung clearance index [LCI]) in patients with CF before and after pulmonary exacerbation.
This study will be performed to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of escalating inhaled AIR-DNase doses administered as a single dose followed by multiple doses for 5 consecutive days in healthy subjects. A thorough review of safety data will be conducted after completion of each dose level per subject and prior to both, moving to the next dose level in Part 1 and commencement of the multiple dose Part 2.
CF patients are at risk for hepatic disease. Vaccination is recommended to all CF patients according to European consensus. The aim of the study is to vaccinate as many patients as possible and to follow up whether immunization has been complete.
The aim of the study is to find CF patients at risk for cystic fibrosis related liver disease (CFLD). Comparison of ultrasound by two modalities and biochemical markers with histological evaluation of liver biopsy if present.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal autosomal recessive disease. Respiratory therapy is always recommended to the CF patient with pulmonary involvement and has differents techniques and devices, however, there is no consensus on the effectiveness of the techniques used, there is a need to determine the applicability of the therapeutic resources used. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine the short-term effectiveness of ELTGOL on Average Electrical Impedance on the End of Expiration (MIEFE) pulmonary, assessed by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in individuals with CF through a clinical trial randomized crossover. Volunteers will be included with FC with moderate to severe lung disease with chest ≥ 74 cm that do not show: episode of pulmonary infectious exacerbations in the last four weeks or during the study period; cor pulmonale; facial deformity that causes air leakage; facial trauma and recent face or esophagus surgery; chest pain; hemoptysis in the last week; continued use of supplemental oxygen (> 8 hours / day); hemoptysis; hemodynamic instability and do not understand the use and command of the techniques used. The sample is selected by convenience from the database of individuals assisted data in Integrative Medicine Institute Professor Fernando Figueira (IMIP). The research will be developed in three phases, divided into three days with an interval of at least 48 hours between phases. The first day will undergo initial assessment and in the days following the intervention by day, ELTGOL or Acapella, in a randomized order.
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single ascending doses (SAD) and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of Hypothiocyanite (OSCN-), bovine lactoferrin (bLF) and their combination (ALX-009) in healthy male volunteers and patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis (NCFBE).
