Filter by:Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a rare, life-threatening, genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, significantly impairing the quality of life, with those affected having a median age of death at 40. The main objective of this study is to assess how safe and effective is the combination therapy of galicaftor/navocaftor/ABBV-119 or Galicaftor/Navocaftor/ABBV-576 in adult participants with CF who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del mutation in each arm. Galicaftor/Navocaftor/ABBV-119 combination therapy and Galicaftor/Navocaftor/ABBV-576 is being developed as an investigational drug for the treatment of CF. Study doctors place participants in 1 of the 4 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Around 90 adult participants with a diagnosis of CF will be enrolled in the study around approximately 35 sites worldwide. Participants in arm 1 will receive oral capsules of galicaftor/navocaftor dual combination for 28 days followed by galicaftor/navocaftor/ABBV-119 triple combination for 28 days. Participants in arms 2 and 3 will receive the galicaftor/navocaftor/ABBV-119 triple combination or placebo for 28 days. Participants in arm 4 will receive galicaftor/navocaftor/ABBV-576 triple combination therapy for 28 days. For all study arms, ABBV-576, galicaftor, navocaftor, will be given once daily and ABBV-119 twice a day. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
A study to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled molgramostim administered open-label to adult cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects with chronic pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection, with or without ongoing antimycobacterial guideline based combination therapy.
A great medical success is the increase in the median survival age associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, this success has led to a new era of research with the aim to maximise the quality of life (QoL) of the aging CF population. Recent research has demonstrated that the traditional method of determining disease progression, i.e. pulmonary function, no longer adequately predict survival rates. Therefore, various bodies have promoted cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), as outcomes from this test (e.g. one's maximal O2 uptake [VO₂max]) are known predictors of the QoL, risk of hospitalisation and prognosis of individuals with CF. One of the most common non-pulmonary co-morbidities of CF is CF-related diabetes (CFRD). Importantly, CFRD is associated with a poorer pulmonary function compared to CF patients without CFRD, and ultimately a worsened prognosis. Despite this, the influence an impaired glycaemic control has upon the VO₂max derived from a CPET is unknown in CF. Therefore, the present study aims to assess whether VO₂max, an established determinant of QoL, differs between patients with CF with and without established CFRD as well as a group of age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects. The additional measures within the present study, such as: biomarkers of inflammation, redox balance and nitric oxide (NO2) bioavailability, as well as functional measures of microvascular endothelial function will aid our knowledge of the physiological abnormalities which are a cause or consequence of CFRD. Importantly, by identifying the factors which may contribute to CFRD progression and those that are viable for early intervention, mean the aims and objectives of this study are compatible with the top 10 research objectives set by the CF Trust.
