Outpatient Antibiotic Treatment for a Cystic Fibrosis Pulmonary Exacerbation

Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Prospective Clinical and Laboratory Evaluation of Outpatient Antibiotic Treatment for Pulmonary Exacerbations in Children With Cystic Fibrosis

Clinical Trial Summary

This study plans to learn more about the effect of oral antibiotics for an outpatient pulmonary exacerbation (respiratory illness) on sputum (mucus) bacterial infections, lung function, airway inflammation and quality of life. In this study subjects will perform pulmonary function tests, provide a sputum sample and complete a questionnaire at two separate clinic visits. If a subject is unable to cough up sputum in clinic he or she will be asked to breathe in a salt water solution to help cough up sputum. The first sputum sample will be obtained at the first visit (within 48 hours of starting antibiotics). Pulmonary function testing and the questionnaire will also be completed at this time. Subjects will complete a two week course of oral antibiotics at home. During these two weeks subjects will be asked to write down the times antibiotics are taken and airway clearance (vest treatment) is performed. Within one week of completing the antibiotic course subjects will return to clinic for a second visit. At that time a sputum sample will be obtained again and if subjects are unable to cough up sputum they will again be asked to breathe in salt water solution to help cough up sputum. Pulmonary function testing and the questionnaire will also be completed at this second visit. Sputum samples will be tested for infections with bacteria and viruses. Sputum samples will also be used to measure markers of airway inflammation (swelling). The investigators hypothesize that the use of two weeks of oral antibiotics for the treatment of a pulmonary exacerbation will result in a decrease in the amount of bacteria measured in sputum. Additionally the investigators hypothesize that treatment with antibiotics will lead to an improvement in lung function, a decrease in airway inflammation and an improvement in quality of life measurements.
