Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine how a person's lungs will uptake [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), as measured with positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in young cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Our recent study in CF adults, supplemented by recent pre-clinical and clinical studies by our group suggests that labeled fluorodeoxyglocose-based positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging may be a valuable quantitative biomarker of lung inflammation. The proposed study would validate our earlier findings, but in a younger patient population. The implications of such a test could be highly significant for both the testing of promising new anti-inflammatory agents and for patient management decisions. To capitalize on this exciting opportunity, the critical next step is to show that we can identify a cohort of young CF patients with both stable lung function and normal (or near normal) FDG-PET imaging studies. Similar patients, then, would become the subjects for a future prospective cohort study to determine if FDG-PET imaging can in fact serve as a predictor of future changes in lung function. ;
