Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an internet based program for children and families (CF.DOC) with Cystic Fibrosis on health outcomes. The program provides for virtual visits, a personal health record, messaging with clinicians and several tools for monitoring self-care behaviors. We anticipate that this intervention will provide for more intensive monitoring and feedback of self-care behaviors and will lead to improved health status and in particular nutritional status
This is a study to find out whether Pulmozyme is effective for clearing mucus from the airways of children with cystic fibrosis less than 3 ½ years of age.
The purpose of this study is to see if inhaled bicarbonate will increase the ability to cough up mucus in a person with cystic fibrosis.
Women with chronic lung disease characterised by chronic cough report urinary incontinence. Recently there have been reports of increased urinary incontinence in girls and women with cystic fibrosis. While coughing is a known risk factor for stress incontinence, other risk factors and causes are poorly understood in this population. Treatment of incontinence for patients with chronic lung disease is also poorly addressed, adding to the burden of disease for women with chronic lung disease, carers and the health system. This project will estimate the prevalence of women with CF and COPD compared to healthy age matched controls and will evaluate the effect of a specific treatment and management program for these patients. The results will be disseminated to respiratory health professionals. We hypothesise that women with chronic cough will have a higher incidence of urinary incontinence than healthy controls and that a specific treatment program will result in alleviation of the problems and improved quality of life.
The primary objective of this study is to determine efficacy of 70 mg alendronate once weekly compared to placebo. This will be measured by percent changes in lumbar spine(LS) bone mineral density(BMD) in adult cystic fibrosis(CF)patients after one year of treatment. The investigators hypothesize that in adult CF patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis, alendronate 70 mg once weekly will produce a mean increase from baseline in lumbar spine BMD that is greater than that observed with placebo at 12 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether correction of low nighttime oxygen (O2) levels and/ or high carbon dioxide levels in patients with cystic fibrosis improves their quality of life. The treatments being used overnight are (1)O2 (2)pressurised air which assists breathing (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, NIPPV)
This was a randomized multi-center clinical trial to compare the microbiological efficacy, clinical efficacy, and safety of using standard versus biofilm susceptibility testing of P. aeruginosa sputum isolates to guide antibiotic selection for treatment of airway infection in clinically stable patients with CF.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of two dose strengths of study drug compared to placebo in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multiple courses of AZLI in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and lung infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA).
The purpose of this study is to determine the medium term efficacy and safety profile of inhaled mannitol, on its own and also as an additional therapy to rhDNase (pulmozyme). In particular, we will assess the impact on: lung function; airway inflammation; sputum microbiology; exacerbations; quality of life; adverse events; exercise tolerance; total costs of hospital and community care; and cost-effectiveness.
