Filter by:The purpose of this study was to support the selection of a safe and tolerable tobramycin inhalation powder (TIP) dose, and regimen that exhibits effective bacterial reduction of P. aeruginosa in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (BE) patients with P. aeruginosa colonization.
Long standing oral submucous fibrosis(OSMF) is associated with involvement of the oral submucosa and the muscles of mastication leading to difficulty in mouth opening. Various surgical modalities are mentioned for release but each has its own limitations.The aim of the study was to evaluate the change in mouth opening in patients of OSMF after excision of fibrous bands followed by coronoidotomy and surgical defect coverage by single stage nasolabial flap.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with VX-371 in hypertonic saline compared to hypertonic saline alone in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are ≥12 years of age, homozygous for the F508del-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation, and being treated with Orkambi
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled safety and tolerability study of N-acetylcysteine or placebo in participants with mild to moderate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) receiving background pirfenidone therapy.
32 cystic fibrosis patients with the G551D mutation will be treated for 4 weeks, consisting of three consecutive treatment periods: two 1-week periods followed by one 2-week period, evaluating one dose of GLPG1837 each. After the treatment period, there is a 7-10 days follow-up period. During the course of the study, subjects will be examined for any side effects that may occur (safety and tolerability). Changes in sweat chloride will be assessed as biomarker from baseline onwards, and changes in pulmonary function (efficacy) will be explored throughout the study. The amount of GLPG1837 present in the blood (pharmacokinetics) will also be determined.
The investigators will treat 50 patients with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C genotype 1, with sofosbuvir 400 mg daily, ledipasvir 90 mg daily and weight-based ribavirin (1000 mg/d if <75 kg, 1200 mg/d if >75 kg, divided in two daily doses) for 12 weeks and calculate the sustained viral response rate at 12 weeks.
Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary, chronic respiratory illness. Cystic Fibrosis leads to a progressive decline in lung function. School-aged children with cystic fibrosis experience backpack carrying everyday. Backpack carrying induce a restrictive effect responsible for lower lung function. Respiratory muscle strength is also impaired. No studies assessed aerobic capacities during children's gait while carrying a backpack. The investigators hypothesized that backpack carrying will induce an acute decline in lung function in children with cystic fibrosis compared to healthy children. Investigators also hypothesized that aerobic capacities will be impaired.
In this research study the investigators want to learn more about whether using a fitness tracker and accelerometer helps patients with cystic fibrosis exercise more regularly, and in turn whether it increases exercise tolerance over the period of one year.
This single arm, post-authorisation study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety of pirfenidone in participants with IPF. The enrolment of participants will be completed within approximately 24 months. Participants will receive pirfenidone according to the physician discretion and will be followed for 2 years. Treating physicians will collect pre-specified data at the baseline and every 3 months thereafter, for the duration of the participants' participation in study.
Prospective multicenter cohort recruiting consecutive patients from 7 hospitals in Andalusia, southern Spain, according to following criteria: 1) HIV infection, 2) Chronic active HCV infection, 3) Older than 18 years, 4) New diagnosis of liver cirrhosis on the basis of a liver stiffness above 14 kiloPascals, 5) No previous or concomitant decompensation of liver disease. Patients are prospectively followed-up according to a uniform protocol of care. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory variables are periodically recorded. The primary outcomes are the emergence of a liver decompensation (including hepatocellular carcinoma), liver transplant or death. The predictors of these outcomes are analyzed.
