Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

The purpose of this Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Two-period Crossover Study is to Assess the Efficacy and Tolerability of Burlulipase (NM-BL) in Patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency due to Cystic Fibrosis

This trial aims to analyze whether the resistive inspiratory manoeuvre (RIM) performed previously to autogenic drainage (AD) technique improves the effectiveness in terms of mucus clearance during a typical bronchial drainage session in adults, stable CF patients.

Cystic fibrosis is the most common inherited life limiting condition which affects children. Patients with it develop lung infections which become difficult to clear, and damage the lungs. These are treated with antibiotics (such as tobramycin) into the vein (termed "intravenous antibiotics"). This has without doubt improved survival. However, all treatments have side effects. Tobramycin can cause kidney damage. The investigators have preliminary data that suggests that administering tobramycin in the morning may be safer for the kidneys than administering it in the evening. The investigators plan to approach children and adults with cystic fibrosis whose doctors have decided to administer a course of intravenous tobramycin. The investigators will randomly allocate them to receive it at either 0800h or 2200h. The investigators will measure the rate at which the body eliminates tobramycin from the bloodstream, by measuring the amount of tobramycin in the blood stream after administering the antibiotic. For each patient the study will last for the duration of the course of antibiotics. This is decided by the doctor looking after the patient (rather than the researcher), and would typically be 14 days. The investigators will also measure substances in the blood and urine ("biomarkers") which are sensitive indicators of low levels of kidney injury. The investigators will monitor lung function and lung bacteria in both the groups to ensure that the patients in both groups improve by the same amount. If the preliminary data are proved correct, this research will allow investigators to improve the safety profile of tobramycin, one of the most widely prescribed drugs in cystic fibrosis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of denufosol 60 mg TID in pediatric CF patients 2 to 4 years of age

The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of lumacaftor (VX-809) alone and when coadministered with ivacaftor (VX-770) in participants with cystic fibrosis, homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate individual efficacy in Physiotherapy for Airway Clearance, and to investigate user experience, i.e.utility value and preference.

This was an open-label, multicenter study in children ≤ 12 years of age with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in the lower airways using three 28-day courses of Aztreonam for Inhalation Solution (AZLI) 75 mg three times daily, each followed by 28 days off AZLI. The total treatment duration was to be 6 months.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease caused by a mutation in the gene that makes the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein. As a result mucus stagnation, obstruction and plugging take place in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, the biliary and pancreatic duct, and in the reproductive system. The objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of 3 days of daily dosing of OligoG CF-5/20 versus placebo in healthy volunteers.

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the safety and feasibility of gene transfer with the third generation adenovirus H5.001CBCFTR in patients with cystic fibrosis.

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the optimum dose of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) required to achieve maximal bioavailability for patients with cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease. II. Compare optimized doses of TUDCA with ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid; UDCA) for effects on biliary bile acid composition and metabolism, serum biochemistries, fat absorption, and fat-soluble vitamin status in these patients.
