Filter by:The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of MS1819 in enteric capsules vs porcine pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to cystic fibrosis (CF). The exploratory objective of the extension phase (EP) is to find a dose of MS1819 in immediate release capsules that is safe and results in CFA values in a therapeutic range.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of MS1819-SD vs porcine pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to cystic fibrosis (CF).
This study is a single center study of clinical and laboratory outcomes in patients ≥ 12 who transition from use of Orkambi to tez/iva. Clinical and laboratory measurements will be measured at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after initiation of tez/iva. Change from baseline at 6 months pre-specified will be reported. The length of study participation will be approximately 6 months.
Investigators will examine temporal and regional dynamic changes in the microbiome of Cystic Fibrosis patients to explore microbiome features that are associated with an inflammatory phenotype. Investigators hypothesize that temporal and spatial differences in lung microbiome are associated with host inflammatory responses. While chronic and polymicrobial airway colonization are commonly recognized in cystic fibrosis (CF), it is unclear what factors of the microbial environment lead to infection with pathogenic microorganism. This is a multi center, longitudinal cohort of adult Cystic Fibrosis subjects recruit4ed from NYU and Columbia to understand how changes in the airway microbiome may affect the host inflammatory responses in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). There will be three approaches to understanding inflammatory responses; 1) a longitudinal assessment of temporal changes in the microbiome over a 6-month period of clinical stability; 2) comparison of the regional differences in airway microbiome between lung segments with more versus less disease; 3) evaluation of functional aspects of the lung microbiome.
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.
The purpose of this study is to develop rapid MRI techniques for imaging the lung with hyperpolarized helium-3 gas as an inhaled contrast agent. These techniques will be piloted in adults and older children before testing them in younger children and infants. The purpose is to enable imaging of non-sedated infants by imaging so fast as to freeze motion.
The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of hormones on lung disease in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients. Due to improved therapies, CF patients are living longer and healthier lives than they did 20 years ago. However, females have been shown to have a survival disadvantage. The median life expectancy is 33 in women and 37 in men with CF. The hypothesis is that estrogen and/or progesterone negatively impact lung health in CF. Therefore, understanding the impact of sex hormones (including the use of birth control pills) on the disease process is increasingly important. The purpose of this study is to determine if lung function, respiratory symptoms, or various markers of lung health change during different phases of the natural ovulatory cycle in order to understand if estrogen or progesterone hormones are impacting the disease relative to fluctuations in men with stable testosterone levels. The research objectives of this project are to: - Determine if lung function, respiratory symptoms, or various markers of lung health change during different hormonal phases of the ovulatory cycle in women. - Determine if men change lung function, respiratory symptoms, or various markers of lung health over time. - Determine if oral contraceptive pills in women stabilize fluctuations in symptoms and improve lung health.
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) suffer from chronic infections of the lower respiratory tract that can be caused by one or multiple bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which has been particularly problematic to eradicate and been implicated as the major cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. Aerosol delivery of antibiotics directly to the lung increases the local concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection resulting in improved antimicrobial effects compared to systemic administration. Bacterial resistance to current aerosol antibiotic treatments indicate a need for improved therapies to treat CF patients with pulmonary infections caused by multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria. High concentrations of MP-376 delivered directly to the lung are projected to have antimicrobial effects on even the most resistant organisms.
