Filter by:A hot topic in lung transplantation is the treatment of persisting sinus disease/colonization in CF patients to prevent descending graft colonization and chronic allograft dysfunction. From 2012, the Hannover transplantation group has been using a conservative approach with topical nasal inhalation. It is now necessary to analyse the impact of the new approach on graft colonization, incidence of BOS, symptoms, QoL etc in comparison to a historical cohort. It is also important to establish which is the best among the different inhaled antibiotic regimens currently available.
The objective of this study is to assess the effects of a high-dose vitamin D3 on the composition of gut and lung microbiota in adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis who are vitamin D deficient.
This will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Cavosonstat (N91115) in adult patients with CF who are homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation and being treated with lumacaftor/ivacaftor (Orkambi™).
The aim is to describe the association of glucose tolerance measured with three different tools (continuous glucose measurement system - CGMS, oral glucose tolerance testing - OGTT and optional intravenous glucose tolerance testing -IVGTT) with parameters out of lung function and anthropometric parameters in patients with cystic fibrosis.
This is a study of multiple doses of inhaled QBW276 in patients with cystic fibrosis on top of standard of care. The study was divided into 3 Cohorts. Cohorts 1 and 2 are designed to be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm, multiple dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of inhaled QBW276 over 1 week (cohort 1) or 2 weeks (cohort 2) in patients with cystic fibrosis regardless of their genotype. The study was terminated after Cohort 2 due to the resource issues.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, 3-part rollover study in subjects with CF who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation and who participated in studies VX13-661-103 (Study 103, NCT02070744), VX14-661-106 (Study 106, NCT02347657), VX14-661-107 (Study 107, NCT02516410), VX14-661-108 (Study 108, NCT02392234), VX14-661-109 (Study 109, NCT02412111), VX14-661-111 (Study 111, NCT02508207), VX15-661-112 (NCT02730208), and VX16-661-114 (NCT03150719). The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment of VX-661 in combination with ivacaftor.
The study is defined in 3 stages of in vitro assays : Phase 1 : Secretion of NETs in response to lung disease and their secretion of factors. This is a transversal study in which we compare : - Producing NETs (DNA and proteases ) by neutrophils purified from sputum and blood of patients - Producing NETs (DNA and proteases ) by purified neutrophils in the blood of patients and blood of control subjects Phase 2: Mechanisms of activation of NETs secretory pathways . This phase will identify receptors (TLR ) involved in the secretion of NETs and analyze the involvement of dependent transduction pathways calcium and PKC . It will be performed on control blood neutrophils. Phase 3: Analysis of cell death ( NETose ) This is a transversal study that will analyze : the mode of cell death of neutrophils purified blood and sputum of patients and control blood neutrophils by flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy .
Exploratory proof of concept study to determine whether intranasal administration of QR-010 in subjects with cystic fibrosis, homozygous or compound heterozygous for the ΔF508 mutation, can increase the function of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR).
In the general population, age of puberty, and age of menarche in girls, are closely correlated with those of their mother. The severity of chronic disease has an impact on the stature, the weight gain and the onset of puberty: age of menarche is even later that chronic illness is serious. Cystic fibrosis is one of the major chronic diseases of children. Neonatal screening is organized since 2002, most girls with cystic fibrosis therefore currently have a very specialized and early care. Older patients were diagnosed during childhood. The optimization of the nutritional and respiratory management has allowed over the past two decades a significant improvement in the survival of these patients. Most young people reach adulthood, puberty and reproductive desire are a crucial issue in the care of these young adults. In literature, it is often noted an age of menarche delayed an average of 2 years compared to the general population, but correlated with the age of menstruation from the mothers. The factors involved in the conduct of cycles in the girl followed for cystic fibrosis are poorly known and there are few data on the characteristics of cycles. The menstrual irregularity and amenorrhoea episodes concern nearly half of women. On the pathophysiological level, studies in animals show that there is a direct effect of CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) on the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal and reproductive capacity in mice. The literature data on the pubertal development, fertility and hormonal profile of these girls are for studies with low numbers and are very old. There is to date no French cohort study on this topic. The study is a multicenter cross-sectional descriptive study for pubertal and gynecological characteristics in girls followed annually in the reference centers Cystic Fibrosis two inter-region.
The combination of asthma and being a carrier of genetic variants (mutations and / or polymorphisms) in the CFTR gene variant would cause bronchial asthma with mucus hypersecretion. This phenotype is characterized by a more severe disease, in terms of control, quality of life, exacerbations and lung function, and a different asthma the bronchial hypersecretion without inflammatory phenotype.
