Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the nasal inhalation of Colistin is effective to decrease the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial count in the nasal lavage fluid.
This was an open-label, single arm (uncontrolled) study in participants suffering from cystic fibrosis, who had completed their study participation in CTBM100C2303 (all visits) and who were proven infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) at enrollment into CTBM100C2303.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the nasal inhalation of Gernebcin® is effective to decrease the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial count in the nasal lavage fluid.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 28-day course of aztreonam for inhalation solution (AZLI) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), mild lung disease (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] >75% predicted, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that rarely causes disease in healthy people, but is a significant problem for critically ill or immunocompromised individuals. Experts estimate that there are greater than 100,000 patients in the United States, Europe and Japan where Pseudomonas pneumonia occurs. Patients with Pseudomonas pneumonia currently represent only about 20% of the patients in the hospital who get Pseudomonas infections.
Hypothesis: Daily gargling with specific avian antibodies against Pseudomonas aeruginosa will prevent infections with this bacteria in patients with Cystic fibrosis (CF).
Our data indicate that the CFTR-molecule functions as a transporter for sphingosine-1-phosphate and sphingosine or regulates the uptake of these sphingolipids by epithelial cells. The disturbed uptake of sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate over the cell membrane results in an accumulation of ceramide in the cell membrane, which finally triggers a pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic status in the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients. Amitriptyline reduces the cera-mide levels in the lung tissue, normalises the activity of cytokines and prevents constitutive cell death of epithelial cells observed in CFTR-deficient mice. Most important, amitriptyline prevents pulmonary infections of CFTR-deficient mice with P. aeruginosa. These effects of amitriptyline may result in an improved lung function of cystic fibrosis patients.
