Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

Pulmonary rehabilitation programs are an important part of lifelong therapy in the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis. Although the possible benefits of exercise are known, physical activity levels and participation in exercise are low in patients with cystic fibrosis. There are barriers such as lack of time, demoralization, lack of motivation, and transportation problems. Although group exercises are an approach that increases participation and motivation, it is not considered a very suitable method because it increases the risk of cross infection in patients with cystic fibrosis when performed face-to-face. Telerehabilitation programs, which are increasingly used in chronic respiratory diseases, show similar results with clinical rehabilitation programs. Telerehabilitation programs, the effects of which have been examined in different disease groups in recent years, on patients with cystic fibrosis are limited in the literature. Group exercises that can be given with the telerehabilitation method may be a good approach for patients with cystic fibrosis, eliminating possible infection transmission. The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to compare of effects of telerehabilitation based individual and group exercises on functional exercise capacity, muscle strength, respiratory functions, balance, anaerobic power, quality of life, and adherence in children with cystic fibrosis. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference between functional exercise capacity, muscle strength, respiratory functions, balance, anaerobic performance, quality of life and compliance with treatment between telerehabilitation based group exercises and telerehabilitation based individual exercises in patients with cystic fibrosis? Participants will be randomized into three groups: Group 1: They will be divided into groups of four and included in the exercise training for eight weeks with telerehabilitation. Group 2: They will be individually included in exercise training with telerehabilitation for eight weeks. Group 3 (control group): They will continue their routine treatment (medical treatment, airway cleaning techniques, physical activity counseling).

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of ELX/TEZ/IVA in CF subjects 12 to less than (<) 24 months of age.

This is a phase 1b/2 study of a single dose of intravenous (IV) bacteriophage in males and non-pregnant females, at least 18 years old, diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and microbiological activity of bacteriophage product WRAIR-PAM-CF1, directed at Pseudomonas aeruginosa in clinically stable CF individuals chronically colonized with P. aeruginosa. WRAIR-PAM-CF1 is a 4 component anti-pseudomonal bacteriophage mixture containing between 4 x 10^7 and 4 x 10^9 Plaque Forming Units (PFU) of bacteriophage. Enrollment will occur at up to 20 clinical sites in the United States. In stage 1, two eligible subjects will be assigned to each of the three dosing arms receiving a single dosage of the IV bacteriophage therapy (4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8 PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU; total of 6 sentinel subjects), followed by 30 ± 7 days observation period. If no SAEs (related to the study product) are identified during the 96 hours after bacteriophage administration for all Sentinel Subjects in Stage 1, the study will proceed to Stage 2. In Stage 2a, 32 subjects will be enrolled into one of 4 arms (placebo IV, 4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8 PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU) in a 1:1:1:1 allocation. An interim analysis will be performed after all subjects have completed follow up visit 7 on Day 30 to select the IV bacteriophage dose with the most favorable safety and microbiological activity profile. During Stage 2b, subjects will be randomized into the bacteriophage (dose selected based on Interim Analysis following Stage 2a) or placebo arm. The final sample size is expected to be up to 72 subjects total with up to 25 subjects in the placebo arm and up to 25 subjects in the Stage 2b bacteriophage dose.

This study will evaluate safety and tolerability of ascending doses of nebulized KB407 in adults with cystic fibrosis.

Based on previous clinical findings, the investigator hypothesize that ivacaftor will have synergistic effects with drugs that facilitate truncated but partially active W1282X CFTR protein processing (tezacaftor) in patients with W1282X CFTR. In the current study, the investigators propose to directly test the efficacy of tezacaftor/ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) and Trikafta for W1282X CFTR therapy in the clinic in comparison to ivacaftor alone.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VX-522 in participants 18 years of age and older with cystic fibrosis and a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genotype not responsive to CFTR modulator therapy.

The purpose of this study is to validate and utilize a personalized medicine approach to identify potential treatments with current FDA approved CFTR modifiers for non-approved CF gene mutations. The study will perform ex vivo testing of CFTR function and current marketed CFTR modulating drugs on expanded nasal cells at Cincinnati Children's Human Nasal Epithelium (HNE) Core Laboratory. The results will be confirmed and translated into bedside care through an N of 1 trial to determine effectiveness of treatment.

This is a randomized, double-blinded study that aims to assess the effect of an oral antibiotic called Cephalexin (150 mg/kg/day) compared to placebo in clinically stable children with cystic fibrosis who have grown a bacteria called MSSA (methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus) over the course of 2 weeks. A sensitive technique called MBW (multiple breath washout) will be used to look at how well the participants lungs are functioning during the study and to see if the antibiotic improves function. The primary outcome of the study will be the relative change in the MBW measurement (LCI2.5) between day 0 and day 14 of study treatment.

Regular bronchial clearance is essential in patients with cystic fibrosis for their bronchial health. SIMEOX® (Physio-Assist, Aix en Provence, France) is an innovative medical device for the drainage of the bronchial tree. By changing the rheological properties of mucus, SIMEOX® helps to mobilize secretions and assists their transport to the upper airways. This technology is based on fundamental research on bronchial mucus rheology. At the present time, SIMEOX® device is mainly used over a short period at the time or after an exacerbation in healthcare structures (hospitals, physiotherapy practices, post-care, and rehabilitation units, etc…). The clinical effects observed in the short term encourages long-term autonomous use by the patients themselves. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and acceptability of SIMEOX® used at home by the patient himself for bronchial clearance in patients with cystic fibrosis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of metformin to improve airway ion channel function in those with CF-related diabetes (CFRD)
